Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Architecture in Oxford Stone This book is not meant to be an addition to the already numerous guides to the individual buildings of Oxford. As such it could find little justification, since every important building has at some time or other been the subject of a book, in which its history and its architectural features have been exhaustively treated, and there are besides several guides to the city as a whole, in which accounts are given of its chief architectural details with the dates and styles of all the colleges and churches. Not Oxford's buildings, but the science of architecture illustrated by them, is the subject of this essay. As a rule, writers on English architecture draw their examples from buildings scattered broadcast over England; the majority of students must, therefore, be content to make acquaintance with their details through the medium of photographic illustrations, drawings, and descriptions, which are at best a poor substitute for the real thing. Now Oxford, a unique city in so many respects, is unique in this, that all the great architectural types are represented in her buildings.

Download or read book Edward Durell Stone written by Mary Anne Hunting and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 2013 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Colossus,' 'visionary,' 'giant' are superlatives used in the mid-twentieth century to describe Edward Durell Stone (1902 - 1978), a celebrity architect whose wholly unique modern aesthetic of 'new romanticism' played a crucial role in defining middle-class culture. Framed between the Great Depression and the oil embargo of the early 1970s, the distinguished career of the native Arkansan is represented on four continents, in thirteen foreign countries, and in thirty-two states - his masterpiece the American Embassy chancery (1953 - 59) in New Delhi, India. Recognized in his prime as one of the nation's most sought-after architects, Stone's vast and prestigious workload brought prosperity on a scale rare in architecture in his time; after the death of Frank Lloyd Wright, some supporters thought Stone seemed destined to take the place of his personal hero and close friend as the great national architect. But Stone also drew divergent reactions. Such International Style buildings as his Museum of Modern Art (1935 - 39) in New York City, an austere, unornamented volume, won critical approval; in contrast, his monumental postwar architecture - the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (1958 - 71) in Washington, DC, among the best known - exposed popular tastes by offering a broader definition of Modernism inclusive of decoration. Enhanced interest in Stone's architecture has been spurred by the reconsideration of a number of his buildings. The former Gallery of Modern Art (1958 - 64) at 2 Columbus Circle in New York City, which was lost to a near complete makeover, stimulated vigorous and at times contentious discussion that made evident the need for an objective reassessment. His legacy - of giving form to the aspirations of the emerging consumer culture and of reconciling Modernism with the dynamism of the age - is established in Edward Durell Stone: Modernism's Populist Architect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attitude of the British to India was compounded partly of arrogance, but partly also of homesickness, and it shows in their constructions. Georgian terraces were adapted to tropical conditions, Victorian railway stations were elaborately orientalised, and seaside villas were adjusted to suit Himalayan conditions. This book, now reissued with a new introduction by Simon Winchester, is the first to describe the whole range of British constructions in India. Stones of Empire charts an enterprise in architecture, engineering, and social adaptation unique in human history.
