GA Houses 86 - Project

GA Contemporary Architecture (v. 10)

An 'elegant house' implies a graceful, balanced, mature piece of work which does not depend itself on the size nor the cost (the Fallingwater being a work depicting the very essence of it, is not included here as it would be featured independently). Of the 10 houses featured, their inner spaces that Wright has once referred to as 'the reality of building' are to be awarded an everlasting esteem for their furniture and fittings arranged with elaborate care to the finest detail, the continuity with the outdoor nature introduced by the decorative windows, and the effects of light from the wide openings and stoplights.   "Wingspread", Herbert F. Johnson House, 1937 Leigh Stevens House, "Auldbrass Plantation", 1939 Lowell Walter House, "Cedar Rock", 1945 Herman T. Mossberg House, 1946 Kenneth Laurent House, 1949 David Wright House, 1950 William Palmer House, 1950 Isadore J. Zimmerman House, 1950 Harold Price House, "Grandma House", 1954 Gerald Tonkens House, 1955

Antonio Gaudi - an extraordinary genius, pride of Barcelona. Born a son of a coppersmith, the precocious prodigy became the architect of the Sagrada Familia at 31 years old. In his pursuit of structural rationality in the space make-up and respect for tradition, hehas filled his creations with a symphony of his unique decorations based on holy devotion and naturalistic beliefs. Behind the 'anomalous' aspects is a vivid foresight that to this day leaves us in wonder. Much acclaimed by the public, these unprecedented architectures are monumental icons,slices of an era of Catalonia. Presented in this volume are 9 magnum opus of this giant, gone forever at the age of 73 in an accident.
