The Magic of America: Electronic Edition – Marion Mahony Griffin
10 days ago by dilibrary
"'The Magic of America,' a typescript of over 1,400 pages with approximately 650 accompanying illustrations, was written and compiled by Marion Mahony Griffin (1871-1961), architect, designer, delineator, and artist. In 1911 she married Walter Burley Griffin (1876-1937), architect, landscape designer, and city planner. Their architectural practice spanned almost four decades on three continents, and "The Magic of America" was meant, in part, to be a testament to their life and work together."

Mapping Gothic France
28 days ago by dilibrary
"Whereas pictures can be satisfactorily represented in two dimensions on a computer screen, space -- especially Gothic space -- demands a different approach, one which embraces not only the architectonic volume but also time and narrative. Mapping Gothic France... seeks to establish linkages between the architectural space of individual buildings, geo-political space, and the social space resulting from the interaction... [between] builders and users. Our intention has been... to provide the user of the site with new ways to understand the relationship of hundreds of buildings conventionally described as 'Gothic' -- in terms of sameness and difference, found in the forms of multiple buildings within a defined period of time and space that corresponds to the advent of the nation of France."

Forgotten Detroit
december 2011 by dilibrary
Detroit is known for one of the most stunning collections of pre-depression architecture in the world. The past two decades have seen several of these treasures sit vacant, waiting for economic revival. On these pages you will find information about the past, present, and future situations of a few of these landmarks. It is my hope that this information helps you gain an appreciation for the importance of both the history and continued survival of these buildings.
