Title: The Visual Dictionary of American Domestic Architecture by Rachel Carley ISBN: 0-8050-4563-5 Publisher: Henry Holt & Company, Inc. Pub. Date: 15 March, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $25.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Real McCoy!
Comment: I guess it isn't an easy thing to compose an illustrative guide on such complicated and multilayered portion of Architecture as American domestic styles, but all are included here: easily recognizable types, details, even construction methods! Special thanks to the Illustrator: the pictures are neither "overillustrated" nor of too "academic" appearance - just restrained professional still artistic graphic. As an international Architect often working for an American architectural firm I will surely make use of it.
Rating: 4
Summary: excellent line drawings demonstrate styles
Comment: Not comprehensive enough in scope to be a true dictionary of architectural style, but certainly provides the visual images necessary to recognize the styles. Included floor plans also demonstrate the various modes. Good survey of vernacular styles, often overlooked in other texts.
