Whenever possible, they sought to remove extraneous furniture and fittings from their lives and concetrated on positioning and planning their structures with a simple and functional beauty.

See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The design and architectural legacy of the lost world of the Shakers has found favour of almost cult proportions in the very different world of the 1990s. In the nineteenth century, the Shakers were famous as the most successful utopian communal society in America. Social reformers from Emerson to Tolstoy hailed their progressive attitudes on such issues as equality of the sexes, care of children and the aged, and pacifism. They loved God and each other, and worked devotedly to build a physical and spiritual haven distanced from the complications of the real world, creating a network of eighteen principal villages from Maine to Kentucky Today the Shakers are nearly gone. Only a few members remain in a single community at Sabbathday Lake, Maine. But their buildings and villages survive as a testimony to their dedication, and their unique architectural style reveals much about how they lived and how they designed their communities. They shunned what they judged wasteful. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers Batch-FM441-VG-10001
