It tells you -- and shows you in more than 1,200 illustrations -- what you need to know in order to be able to recognize the several distinct architectural styles and to understand their historical significance. What does that cornice mean? Or that porch? That door? When was this house built? What does its style say about the people who built it? You'll find the answers to such questions here.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is how the book works: Each of thirty-nine chapters focuses on a particular style (and its variants). Each begins with a large schematic drawing that highlights the style's most important identifying features. Additional drawings and photographs depict the most common shapes and the principal subtypes, allowing you to see at a glance a wide range of examples of each style. Still more drawings offer close-up views of typical small details -- windows, doors, cornices, etc. -- that might be difficult to see in full-house pictures. The accompanying text is rich in information about each style -- describing in detail its identifying features, telling you where (and in what quantity) you're likely to find examples of it, discussing all of its notable variants, and revealing its origin and tracing its history.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the book's introductory chapters you'll find invaluable general discussions of house-building materials and techniques (&amp;quot;Structure&amp;quot;), house shapes (&amp;quot;Form&amp;quot;), and the many traditions of architectural fashion (&amp;quot;Style&amp;quot;) that have influenced American house design through the past three centuries. A pictorial key and glossary help lead you from simple, easily recognized architectural features -- the presence of a tile roof, for example -- to the styles in which that feature is likely to be found.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Metcalf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hardcover&lt;/b&gt;, 188 pages | The Monacelli Press | Architecture - Domestic; Biography &amp; Autobiography - Literary; Design - Interior Decorating | &lt;b&gt;$45.00&lt;/b&gt; | 978-1-58093-328-5 (1-58093-328-9)&lt;p&gt;The Mount, Edith Wharton&amp;rsquo;s country place in the Berkshires, is truly an autobiographical house. There Wharton wrote some of her best-known and successful novels, including &lt;i&gt;Ethan Frome &lt;/i&gt;and &lt;i&gt;House of Mirth&lt;/i&gt;. The house itself, completed in 1902, embodies principles set forth in Wharton's famous book &lt;i&gt;The Decoration of Houses&lt;/i&gt;, and the surrounding landscape displays her deep knowledge of Italian gardens. Wandering the grounds of this historic home, one can see the influence of Wharton&amp;rsquo;s inimitable spirit in its architecture and design, just as one can sense the Mount&amp;rsquo;s impact on the extraordinary life of Edith Wharton herself.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; The Mount sits in the rolling landscape of the Berkshire Hills, with views overlooking Laurel Lake and all the way out to the mountains. At the turn of the century, Lenox and Stockbridge were thriving summer resort communities, home to Vanderbilts, Sloanes, and other prominent families of the Gilded Age. At once a leader and a recorder of this glamorous society, Edith Wharton stands at the pinnacle of turn of the twentieth-century American literature and social history. The Mount was crucial to her success, and the story of her life there is filled with gatherings of literary figures and artists. &lt;i&gt;Edith Wharton at Home&lt;/i&gt; presents Wharton&amp;rsquo;s life at The Mount in vivid detail with authoritative text by Richard Guy Wilson and archival images, as well as new color photography of the restoration of The Mount and its spectacular gardens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;The Mount was to give me country cares and joys, long happy rides and  drives through the wooded lanes of that loveliest region, the  companionship of dear friends, and the freedom from trivial obligations,  which was necessary if I was to go on with my writing. The Mount was my  first real home . . . its blessed influence still lives in me.&quot; &amp;mdash;Edith Wharton, 1934&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

They create a fascinating chronicle of the way we have lived, and a reflection of every political, economic, or social issue we have been concerned with. Why did plantation owners build uniform cabins for their slaves? Why were all the walls in nineteenth-century tenements painted white? Why did the parlor suddenly disappear from middle-class houses at the turn of the century? How did the federal highway system change the way millions of Americans raised their families?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Building the Dream&lt;/i&gt; introduces the parade of people, policies, and ideologies that have shaped the course of our daily lives by shaping the rooms we have grown up in.&amp;nbsp; In the row houses of colonial Philadelphia, the luxury apartments of New York City, the prefab houses of Levittown, and the public-housing towers of Chicago, Wright discovers revealing clues to our past and a new way of looking at such contemporary issues as integration, sustainable energy, the needs of the elderly, and how we define &quot;family.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Going beyond the simple use of sustainable materials, these houses are&lt;br&gt;designed to frame a very particular vision of nature for their owners that brings them as close as possible to nature while remaining indoors.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Featured are dynamic designs by today's most energetic architectural firms including ARO, Tod Williams/Billie Tsien, Diller Scofidio + Renfro as well as up-and-coming smaller firms. Houses vary in scale, complexity, and site to give a broad survey of the potential of this cutting-edge approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

They are where history ends up.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Bill Bryson and his family live in a Victorian parsonage in a part of England where nothing of any great significance has happened since the Romans decamped. Yet one day, he began to consider how very little he knew about the ordinary things of life as he found it in that comfortable home. To remedy this, he formed the idea of journeying about his house from room to room to &amp;ldquo;write a history of the world without leaving home.&amp;rdquo; The bathroom provides the occasion for a history of hygiene; the bedroom, sex, death, and sleep; the kitchen, nutrition and the spice trade; and so on, as Bryson shows how each has fig&amp;shy;ured in the evolution of private life. Whatever happens in the world, he demonstrates, ends up in our house, in the paint and the pipes and the pillows and every item of furniture. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bill Bryson has one of the liveliest, most inquisitive minds on the planet, and he is a master at turning the seemingly isolated or mundane fact into an occasion for the most diverting exposi&amp;shy;tion imaginable.

Little known outside Sweden and rarely published, they survive in surpris&amp;shy;ingly large numbers, often with their original furniture and decoration. Twenty of these remarkable and timeless houses are examined here in detail, ranging from royal palaces to farmhouses, all dating from the fifteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. In spite of being far from the centers of power and artistic influence, these houses reflect the talents of important architects and designers who together forged a distinctive national style. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sweden has been fortunate in its history: while the Hundred Years War reduced much of Europe to ruins, Sweden grew rich, and during the subsequent centuries has enjoyed almost continuous peace. The story of Swedish country houses is thus a mirror of Swedish social history, its hierarchy of classes, its absorption of European styles and movements, and above all its enduring culture. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Swedish Country House&lt;/i&gt; is both an impor&amp;shy;tant contribution to design history and a highly seductive glimpse into a secret Nordic world. Art historian Susanna Scherman has included examples from every level, drawing special attention to the qualities that make them unique. She and noted photographer &amp;Aring;ke E:son Lindman explored the houses together, and together they bring them to life for the reader.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

White tells us: Nice houses aren&amp;rsquo;t too big or too formal. They are neighborly, with harmonious proportions. They have inviting spots in which to read a book, take a nap or cook..&amp;rdquo; --New York Newsday&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a book of houses where we all would like to live. The locations are diverse&amp;mdash;New England, Long Island, Pennsylvania, California&amp;mdash;and the architecture encompasses both traditional and contemporary vocabulary. What links them is their livable scale and the architect&amp;rsquo;s commitment to creating congenial spaces with a handsome and functional design. They are unassuming dwellings whose architecture moves easily to the background, supporting comfortable furniture, works of art from a variety of periods and styles, and the plantings and outdoor spaces that are essential to the composition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These houses display grace and style inside and out. They invite a full range of activities from&amp;nbsp; formal to informal, from celebration to repose, from a solitary existence to a house full of children or guests. These houses have good places to read a book or write a letter, to take a nap, and to cook and eat with family and friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Some of these visitors have become part-time residents, building contemporary homes alongside the traditional Victorian cottages, sea captains&amp;rsquo; mansions, and colonial farmhouses that comprise the island&amp;rsquo;s cultural and architectural heritage. Rarely does one find such a concentration of outstanding contemporary design.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Authors Keith Moskow and Robert Linn expand their 2005 survey of Vineyard residential design to present twenty-five new houses that extend the traditional Vineyard vernacular of shingled houses and cottages. Each of the architects has described the goals for the project and the source of the design. Some reference nautical themes, others environmental concerns, and still others appropriateness of materials and scale. A significant number rely on a plan strategy based on a series of pavilions to minimize intrusion in the landscape while still taking advantage of views and prevailing breezes. What links the houses is that they are all built to stand the test of time in the sometimes extreme marine environment and they respectfully break with tradition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

As designers they build upon what went before to extend the trajectory of architecture.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;mdash;Robert A. M. Stern&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The signature residential works of Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects bring together historic precedent and contemporary taste with a considered approach to detail, material, and craft. Based in New York and San Francisco, the firm incorporates elements from the great eras and the great practitioners of architecture: the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Deco, Modernism, Colonial Revival, Shingle Style; Sir Edwin Lutyens, Harrie T. Lindeberg, George Howe, Bernard Maybeck, and McKim, Mead &amp;amp; White. Yet ever present is a keen awareness of the modern world, notably in an emphasis on natural light and open views and a responsiveness to the unique qualities of a site.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The twenty-one houses and apartments in this lavishly illustrated volume, the first published on Ike Kligerman Barkley, represent the remarkable breadth of the practice. A cottage in Michigan reveals a comprehensive investigation of craft traditions, while a Hawaiian beach retreat explores the vernacular Polynesian long-house. A sleek Manhattan loft evokes the industrial history of its neighborhood, while an oceanfront villa recalls Carlo Scarpa&amp;rsquo;s interweaving of past and present. Unusual, even unlikely combinations&amp;mdash;an English-influenced Shingle Style house the firm terms &amp;ldquo;Shinglish,&amp;rdquo; a Virginia horse farm that draws equally on classical formality and easy rusticity&amp;mdash;embody the firm&amp;rsquo;s sophisticated balance between historic model and modern refinement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Just as novelists and filmmakers gravitate toward genres that suit the themes they choose to explore, we look for the historic style that represents the best vehicle for the architectural story we wish to tell.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;mdash;Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Today's equally varied population of artists,  writers, and political figures contributes to that heritage by designing  interiors and landscape that complement the vibrant tropical location,  quirky isolationist tradition, and relaxed atmosphere. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Key West: A Tropical Lifestyle&lt;/i&gt;, author Leslie Linsley presents  the true character of this unique American place in twenty-two residences. Engaging anecdotes drawn from interview with homeowners, designers, and  architects and lush, full-color photographs reveal the historic and  contemporary interiors and gardens.  Reflecting the style and personalities  of their owners, these house simultaneously respect and extend a  distinctive legacy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

A  crystalline box set in a serene New England landscape, the house is now  owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which will open it  to visitors in April 2007. Johnson used his property near New Canaan,  Connecticut, as an architectural laboratory, adding nine additional  structures over a forty-year period. Among them are the Ghost House, a  chain-link tribute to Frank Gehry, and the witty, bright red Gate House.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Glass House&lt;/i&gt; is a unique presentation of the Glass House complex  in words and photographs. Compiled by eminent critic Toshio Nakamura under  the sponsorship of YKK AP Inc., the volume features a specially  commissioned suite of photographs, taken throughout the four seasons, by  renowned architectural photographer Michael Moran, including  cross-processed images and images taken with infrared film. The deluxe  graphic presentation, with distinctive paper stocks and foldout pages  reproducing Johnson's original drawings, was conceived by designer Michael  Rock of 2x4.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In FESTA VENEZIANA A CA'&amp;#172;?TOGA, Marchiori serves as tour guide, leading us room by room through this live portfolio, providing deeply personal and mysterious explanations for the wonders that abound in his gallery-like residence. Sixteenth century-style frescoes hang in the main salon, hand-painted stone floors accent the library, and antler and bone sculptures embellish the Native American room. Roman ruins, Thai temples, a seashell-encrusted grotto, and an open-air theater sit in archaic splendor on this dreamscape-turned-landscape. A spontaneous and creative expression of his life and work, Ca'&amp;#172;?toga is Marchiori'&amp;#172;?s artistic utopia-a work in progress that is a brilliant spectacle to behold. Featuring a fantastic repertoire of ceiling murals, wall decorations, folding screens, painted furniture, ceramics, cast stone garden ornaments, and myriad objets d'art inspired by Greco-Pompeiian mythology, Baroque theater, Venetian carnival, and commedia dell'&amp;#172;?arte themes. Marchiori offers tours of Ca'&amp;#172;?toga on Saturday mornings from May to October. Tour tickets and art can be purchased at the Ca'&amp;#172;?toga Galleria D'&amp;#172;?Arte, located in Calistoga, California.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
