Zustand: Sehr gut. XI, 168 p., many ill. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Allover very good condition. - Soldier, statesman, gentleman farmer, nation builder. More than two centuries after George Washington retired from office and quietly returned to his Virginia estate, his accomplishments continue to evoke an outpouring of biographies, chronicles, and critiques. One talent has been overlooked, however. In George Washington, Architect, Allan Greenberg explores the first presidents innovations as a designer of buildings and landscapes. Quoting from primary documents, including Washingtons correspondence and journals, Greenberg reveals that Washington was an exemplary form-giver whose best work was conducted in his own back yards: Mount Vernon and Washington, D.C. In the first part of this two-part volume, Greenberg shows that Washington not only redesigned the exterior and interior of his mansion at Mount Vernon, one of the most beloved landmarks in the U.S., but also sculpted the terrain, rearranged vistas, designed farm buildings with innovative shapes and features, and created one of the most beautiful American gardens. Even as he led the Continental Army, he directed the day to day management of his estate. From the selection of plantings to experiments in threshing, his designs revealed a brilliant gift for efficiency and harmony. Part two concerns a broader arena for experimentation: the new capital of the United States itself. Designed in 1791 by Washingtons handpicked choice of planner, Peter Charles LEnfant, Washington, D.C., symbolically expresses the principles of the first democratic federal republic in history. Breaking with European design precedents to suggest a break with autocratic European systems of government, the new capital, Greenberg argues, was the material form democracy assumed. As executed by LEnfant, it was Washingtons vision cast in stone. George Washington, Architect, explores the construction of a nation, a city, a house, and a farm as a unified activity directed by a single and singulargenius. - Allan Greenberg has been described as the most knowing, most serious practitioner of classical architecture in this country. He writes and lectures extensively and works on architectural commissions throughout the United States from his offices in Washington, D.C. and Greenwich, Connecticut. Born in South Africa, Greenberg received architecture degrees from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and the Yale School of Architecture in New Haven, Connecticut. He taught at Yales Architecture and Law Schools, as well as at Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania. Some of Greenbergs most noted projects include the Diplomatic Reception Rooms and the Offices of the Secretary and Deputy Secretary of State at the State Department, Gore Hall at the University of Delaware, the new Humanities Building at Rice University, and the Tommy Hilifger Flagship Store in Beverly Hills, along with numerous residences.
