Reseña del editor
The euphoria about the future that followed World War II permeated the outlooks of architects, who, influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright and with ready access to remarkable new construction material and building techniques spawned by the war technologies, faced the intriguing prospect of redesigning the post war world. Initially the futuristic designs were outrageous, and detractors labeled these structures the Googie School of Architecture after a particularly outlandish coffee shop in Los Angeles. Googie would seem far from outlandish today as those once controversial design elements have become commonplace in both commercial and residential architecture. Author Alan Hess traces the evolution of these early post war designs in a lively yet learned essay profusely illustrated with both color and black-and-white photography. "Googie: Fifties Coffee Shop Architecture" is a nostalgic trip back to the Fifties and a look forward at the architectural future.

Initially the futuristic designs were outrageous, and the only clients willing to risk such nontraditional structures were small commercial establishments focused on the emerging car culture who were unafraid to cast their lots with the controversial new images. The metal-framed angular designs, employing lavish use of glass, natural (and unnatural) stone, tile, and integrated landscaping became a cachet for the proliferating coffee shops and drive-in restaurants of the 1950s. Detractors labeled these structures the Googie School of Architecture after a particularly outlandish coffee shop in Los Angeles. Googie would seem far from outlandish today as those once controversial design elements have become commonplace in both commercial and residential architecture. Author Alan Hess traces the evolution of these early postwar designs in a lively yet learned essay profusely illustrated with both color and black-and-white photography. GOOGIE: FIFTIES COFFEE SHOP ARCHITECTURE is a nostalgic trip back to the Fifties and a look forward at the architectural future. XX Roadside architecture attracted Alan Hess's attention when he returned to his native Los Angeles (after attending Principia College in Illinois) to get his master's degree from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at UCLA. His architectural criticism and research, specializing in the 1950s, has appeared in Arts + Architecture, Fine Homebuilding, and the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians. He has appeared on PBS's Smithsonian World and KCET-LA's Videolog series. A practicing architect in Marin County, California, Hess is a member of the Society for Commercial Archaeology and serves on the Board of Directors of the Museum of Modern Mythology in San Francisco. His proudest accomplishment is qualifying the oldest McDonald's stand in the nation for the National Register of Historic Places. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003088
