Baillie Scott: The Artistic House by: Haigh, Diane

Baillie Scott: The Artistic House
by: Haigh, Diane

Softcover. London, Academy Editions Ltd, 1st, 1995, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 128 pages. Illustrated in color and b&w. Baillie Scott's long career spanned the years from 1892 to 1939 - several ages in architecture. He may be considered a third-generation Arts and Crafts architect, who joined the movement after it had become well established and took its ideas to everyman. He invented a new type of small house by opening up a plan around a spacious house-place or hall and extending the interior into the garden. These airy little houses, with their intimate alcoves and sunny verandas, captured William Morris's vision: 'Simplicity of life, even the barest, is not a misery, but the very foundation of refinement: a sanded floor and whitewashed walls, and the green trees, and flowery meads... will turn all "operatives" into workmen, into artists, into men.' This book includes many newly commissioned photographs of Baillie Scott's houses, as well as original drawing and new research. By looking at his writing and revisiting his buildings - some previously unknown - it makes available the work of an important architect of the Arts and Crafts movement. It reveals for the first time the beauty of Baillie Scott's architectural works and the fascinating breadth of his theory and practice. Clean copy.

Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lakeby: Barbara Bestor and Geoff McFetridge

Bohemian Modern: Living in Silver Lake
by: Barbara Bestor and Geoff McFetridge

Hardcover. NY, Reagan Books, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, 272 pages. Through striking illustrations and stunning photographs, Bohemian Modern explores the unique structural and interior designs that have put California's ultra-chic Silver Lake neighborhood at the forefront of a new style phenomenon. One of the country's most renowned modernist architects, Barbara Bestor has fully embraced and perfected Silver Lake's "bohemian modern" style: a practical philosophy that is Californian in origin but achievable anywhere. It is a look that favors raw, authentic materials, brilliant colors, creative space planning, and a natural flow between indoors and outdoors. The results, as Bohemian Modern presents, are striking: a flawlessly restored Neutra house decorated with both whimsy and restraint, a rooftop constructed for viewing the stars, a lavish outdoor garden delicately integrated into the surrounding architecture, a double-sided bookcase that soars three stories and serves as a functional art installation...there is no limit to the creativity and beauty of Silver Lake style.

by: Wright, Frank Lloyd

Hardcover. New York, Rizzoli/Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, 1st, 1995, Book: Near Fine, Dust Jacket: Near Fine, Hardcover, 352 pages, edited by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer. Illustrated mostly in b&w, some color. In publisher's shrinkwrap. This volume contains the last ten years of the writings of Frank Lloyd Wright (1869-1959)-including the famous works "The Natural House" (1954), "A Testament" (1957), and "The Living City" (1958)-which are a mixture of rehashed ideas, the reworkings of earlier published pieces, and fanciful explorations into the concepts of truth and beauty. Little new is revealed to the Wrightian scholar by these later works. Yet this last volume cannot be dismissed. As one reads these essays, earlier thoughts and beliefs of Wright, first discovered in the earlier volumes, regularly reemerge and remind the reader of Wright, great influence in art and architecture. Ultimately, this book's value lies in its comprehensiveness (even the banal is included).

Householdsby: Robbins, Mark

Households
by: Robbins, Mark

Hardcover. NY, Monacelli, 1st, 2006, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 160 pages. Driving the glossy shelter magazines -- Architectural Digest, House and Garden, and many more -- is an enduring fascination with other people's lives and houses. But the pristine photographs in these publications do not represent reality. In his "Households" series, artist and architect Mark Robbins has invented the "flip side" of interior design magazines: a compelling series of photographs of actual people in actual homes. A young family at a writers retreat, a gay couple in a Long Island beach house, a husband and wife in a family compound, a single parent in a city apartment: Robbins has photographed residents and environments that comment on contemporary life and relationships. Robbins's design and photography work, which bridges the fields of art and architecture, has long focused on the complex social and political forces that contribute to the built environment. The thoughtfully arranged compositions reinforce, undermine, and even confuse stereotypes; the collection as a whole comments on present-day customs and ways of life in all their complexity.

Off The Grid: Modern Homes + Alternative Energyby: Lori Ryker

Off The Grid: Modern Homes + Alternative Energy
by: Lori Ryker

Hardcover. Gibbs Smith, 1st, 2005, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 160 pages. Off the Grid confronts the ecological and cultural problems associated with the way we get and use energy, and explains how it is possible to live in a beautifully designed home using much less--no matter where your home is located. Our homes are connected by a nearly invisible grid of infrastructure that binds us together. It is a system of electrical poles, wire, substations, hydroelectric dams, telecommunication towers, and water extraction and sewage systems. From within this system we work, play, and raise families. We have also created one of the greatest environmental challenges known to modern civilization. The signs of our impact upon the world can be recognized in the reports of environmental changes occurring across the earth, and they can also be seen in the growing failures of the energy grids across the world as the current system is stressed beyond its capacity. Off the Grid beautifully illustrates that this is not just a concept for rural living; examples of homes that are "off the grid" to varying degrees are found in New York City; Ontario, Canada; Stuttgart, Germany; Belmont, California; Pipe Creek, Texas; Clyde Park, Montana; Twin Lakes, Minnesota; Laytonville, California; Venice, California; and New South Wales, Australia.
