Críticas
"An excellent foundation book for those interested in Kansas architecture and is more than helpful as an overview of the building types which have evolved and are available to see in the Sunflower State."--Great Plains Quarterly"Sachs and Ehrlich present an impressive overview of the various types of architecture within Kansas, giving it a pleasant human cast."--Great Plains Research
Reseña del editor
Some were designed in elaborate styles bearing elegant names--Beaux-Arts, French Renaissance, Art Deco. Others were humbly handcrafted from easily accessible materials--wood, stone, and sod. But whether courtly, colloquial, capricious, or curious, each of the state's architectural configurations has become an aesthetic slice of Kansas. In Guide to Kansas Architecture, David Sachs and George Ehrlich spotlight hundreds of these surprisingly diverse homes, businesses, schools, churches, courthouses, theaters, bridges, and barns spread throughout all 105 counties. Encompassing the historical and contemporary, the vernacular and singular, this book features Victorian masterpieces, stately courthouses, and split-level suburban homes alongside the likes of "the world's most beautiful gas station" and Big Brutus, the enormous electric coal shovel turned museum. Illustrating where, how, and why Kansans assembled and altered their physical surroundings, the authors have amassed information on 700 structures--including descriptions, construction dates, architects, historical background, and unusual traits. They also provide maps and addresses to make them easy to find. This one-of-a-kind guide for Kansas underscores architecture's bond with the state's artistic, cultural, historical, social, political, and economic attributes and idiosyncrasies. As a handy reference and traveling companion, it will be invaluable to the well-versed architect, preservationist, or historian, as well as to the merely inquisitive and adventurous.
