KAHN, LOUIS I. Louis Kahn: essential texts : DAM…AGED COPY. Edited by Robert Twombly. New York: W.W. Norton, 2003, later printing number line ending in 2 of the stated First Edition, 288pp., . "Louis Kahn (1901-1974), arguably the last great modern American architect, lectured, wrote essays, was interviewed and appeared at panel discussions, and issued countless statements to the press. Kahn published a handful of essays, but he preferred public speaking - whether formal lecture or more often, seemingly improvised remarks., All was not as causal as it may have appeared, however; as with his building, which he rethought, reworked, and reconceived, he prepared typescripts that were usually the result of multiple drafts, and when he repeated a speech to a second or third audience, he rewrote it yet again. Louis Kahn: Essential Texts is a unique anthology of twenty pieces, some never before published, representing his essential thinking as it evolved., Robert Twombly's incisive introduction and headnotes reveal the dynamism of Kahn's language, elucidate his keen aphorisms and sometimes abstruse terminology, and offer a useful distillation of basic Kahnian tenets." - CONTENTS: Introduction : Kahn's search -- Monumentality (1944) -- An approach to architectural education (1956) -- Talk at the conclusion of the Otterlo Congress (1959) -- Form and design (1960) -- The new art of urban design: are we equipped?

In den WarenkorbPAPERBACK, cover price $24.95, fresh attractive copy, appears unused. OLMSTED, FREDERICK LAW. Frederick Law Olmsted: essential texts. Edited by Robert Twombly. New York: W.W. Norton, 2010, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line ending in 1, 344pp., . "Often called the father of landscape architecture, Frederick Law O…lmsted was responsible for the design of Central Park and Prospect Park in NewYork City; Mount Royal Park in Montreal; the Belle Isle Park in Detroit; the Grand Necklace of Parks in Milwaukee; the Cherokee Park and entire parks system in Louisville, KY; and the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, to name a few of his most famous projects. His landscape works are enjoyed in 25 states and 3 Canadian provinces. Most of these parks were created during and immediately after the Civil War. This title presents the opportunity to witness the evolution of Olmstedrs's design and social philosophies during a time of upheaval in American history. Sixteen selections, dating from the 1850s to the 1890s, reveal Frederick Law Olmstedrs's youthful interests as well as his mature thinking on cities, small residential sites, the history and theory of urban parks, and landscape architecture in general. His writings directly addressed important issues of hisday, but they remain as cogent as ever in today's environmental crisis." - CONTENTS: Youthful observations.
