Bemerkungen

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT).- Leicht berieben und bestoßen, sonst in sehr gutem Zustand / Slightly worn, otherwise very good copy. - Now, in Buildings of the United States, a monumental project commissioned by the Society of Architectural Historians, we have the first state-by-state survey of American architecture reflecting the geographic, climatic, and cultural diversity of the country. Profusely illustrated, these outstanding guidebooks offer detailed maps that lead tourists to diverse architectural sites, while accompanying photographs and narrative descriptions allow for quick and indepth identification. Recording the works of national and international masters of American architecture, as well as masterpieces wrought by unknown hands, Buildings of the United States is the perfect companion for tourists interested in our architectural heritage. The public architecture of Washington, D.C., is well known throughout the world. The Capitol, the White House, and other major monuments are familiar to millions of people who have never visited the city. Less familiar are many notable public and private buildings located in the central city and scattered throughout Washington’s residential neighborhoods, ranging from the eighteenth-century port city of Georgetown to the mid-twentieth-century urban renewal area known as the Southwest Quadrant. Tracing the evolution of the district’s architectural character from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, Pamela Scott and Antoinette J. Lee divide the city into fourteen sections, surveying major public and government buildings, monuments and memorials, residential buildings and neighborhoods, parks and recreational areas, and commercial and educational centers. From the Vietnam Memorial to elegant Beaux-Arts mansions, this volume, with over 360 magnificent photographs, maps, and drawings, captures the full array of Washington’s architectural styles.
