Thames & Hudson, 2002, Softcover, Book Condition: Very Good Condition, Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket, First Edition
A Very Good+ copy, light markings to rear cover, but otherwise like new, glossy unmarked pages. The 20th century was remarkably fertile ground for residential architecture in the US, producing such icons of modern building as the Greene brothers' Gamble House in Pasadena (1908), Eliel Saarinen's 1929 residence at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Michael Graves' neo-classical villa in New Jersey. These are among the 21 masterpieces of American 20th-century residential architecture presented in this illustrated volume, a condensed edition of this previously published title. Colour photographs are accompanied by a text that explores each house in depth and discusses its place in the progression of American architecture, its role in the architect's oeuvre and its broader relationship to the history of 20th-century American cultural movements. 240 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 750 grams. Category: Architecture; ISBN/EAN: 9780500283943. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request.
