Trade Paperback. Zustand: Used - Good. Winner of the 2006 Alice Davis Hitchcock Award! The word 'nature' comes from natura, Latin for birth - as do the words nation, native and innate. But nature and nation share more than a common root, they share a common history where one term has been used to define the other. In the United States, the relationship between nation and nature has been central to its colonial and post-colonial history, from the idea of the noble savage to the myth of the frontier. Narrated, painted and filmed, American landscapes have been central to the construction of a national identity. Architecture and Nature presents an in-depth study of how changing ideas of what nature is and what it means for the country have been represented in buildings and landscapes over the past century. Open copy with mild/noticeable wear, scuffing along edges, tight binding.…

Trade Paperback. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Previous owner's penned inscription to the dedication page, minor bumping to the front corners, light shelf rubbing, very little wear overall. Text is clean. 'This book explores the changing ideas of what nature has meant for the United States and how it has been represented in buildings and landscapes over the past century. It begins with the close of the frontier and the rise of the conservation movement in the 1890s, and it ends with the opening of the 'final' frontier of outer space and the rise of the ecology movement in the 1960s. In this seventy-five-year period, certain American myths about nature have endured while others have been invented, reworked or abandoned. The buildings and landscapes that have resulted from this dynamic process represent the dreams and ambitions of the country for its relationship to nature: the architecture of the National Parks, the streamlined dams of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the modernist dream houses of post-war California, and the geodesic domes of the countercultural sixties.' Illustrated. 372 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.…
