Zustand: Sehr gut. XI, 289 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - From areas as large as the Hudson Valley and Yosemite National Park to those as small as the Fens in Boston and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin Valley, Walter Creese analyzes the historical essence of eight distinguished American sites and their architecture. While many books have criticized despoilers of the American landscape, this one celebrates its enhancers. Eight maps and striking photographs- 16 in color and 138 in black-and-white-accompany descriptions of how artist-intellectuals made natural spaces particularly intriguing and helped Americans initiate a closer physical and spiritual relationship with their landscape. This study of architecture and landscape begins with four large spaces. Professor Creese clearly demonstrates how designers of unusual sensitivity-such as Thomas Jefferson, A. J. Downing, and F. L. Olmsted- developed Charlottesville, the Hudson and Yosemite Valleys, and Mount Hood National Forest to fulfill public emotional and intellectual expectations at succeeding moments in American history. The second section of the book reveals four "hidden," smaller places as solutions to mundane or sordid challenges. The Boston Fens, a facsimile coastal marsh, mitigated water pollution; Graceland, Chicago's landscaped cemetery, relieved problems of burials in valuable commercial land; and the esthetic enclosure of Riverside suburb countered the hard-edged cruelties of Chicago. Finally came Wright's Taliesin Valley in Wisconsin- a complete and contained design of a rustic area to relieve an artistic and educated family's cultural anxieties.

Sir Raymond Unwin (2 November 1863 29 June 1940) was a prominent and influential English engineer, architect and town planner, with an emphasis on improvements in working class housing. In their various writings, including their book The Art of Building a Home (1901), Barry Parker and Unwin aimed to popularize the Arts and Crafts Movement, and as a result of their success thousands of homes were built on their pattern in the early part of the 20th century. A notable example of one of their earliest collaborations at Clayton, Staffordshire, is dated to 1899, and was originally called the Goodfellow House after the man who commissioned it. Parker and Unwin were involved in designing many of the interior fittings, which remain in the house to this day, and the initial layout of the large gardens. Goodfellow sold the house in 1926 to Colley Shorter who ran the nearby pottery works of Wilkinson's and Newport. He renamed it Chetwynd House and when he married his star designer Clarice Cliff in 1940, she moved into the house and lived there until 1972. It is her association that has made the house particularly famous since. In 1902 Parker and Unwin were asked to design a model village at New Earswick near York for Joseph and Benjamin Seebohm Rowntree, and the following year they were given the opportunity to take part in the creation of Letchworth (loosely based on the Utopian plan of Ebenezer Howard), when the First Garden City Company asked them to submit a plan. In 1903 they were involved with the "Cottages Near a Town Exhibit" for the Northern Art Workers Guild of Manchester. In 1904 after their plan was adopted they opened a second office at Baldock. In 1905 Henrietta Barnett asked them to plan the new garden suburb at Hampstead, now known as Hampstead Garden Suburb. In 1907, Ealing Tenants Limited, a progressive cooperative in west London, appointed him to take forward the development of Brentham garden suburb. Unwin joined the Local Government Board in December 1914. In 1915 he was seconded to the Ministry of Munitions to design the villages of Gretna and Eastriggs and supervise others. From 1917 he had an influential role at the Tudor Walters Committee on working-class housing whose report was published in 1918, the year in which he was appointed Chief Architect to the newly formed Ministry of Health. That post had evolved into the Chief Technical Officer for Housing and Town Planning by the time of his retirement in November 1928. His demonstration during the Great War of the principles of building homes rapidly and economically whilst maintaining satisfactory standards for gardens, family privacy and internal spaces, gave him great influence over the Tudor Walters Committee and hence, indirectly, over much inter-war public housing. This report marked Unwin's definitive break from the traditional 'garden city' concept, as it proposed that the new developments should be peripheral 'satellites' rather than fully-fledged garden cities. Unwin became technical adviser to the Greater London Regional Planning Committee in 1929 and largely wrote its two reports, the first published in that year and the second in 1933. Unwin was President of the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) from 1915 to 1916, President of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) from 1931 to 1933, was knighted in 1932 and consulted by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the New Deal in 1933. In 1936 he was appointed visiting Professor of Town Planning at Columbia University and in 1937 he received the RIBA Royal Gold Medal for architecture. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1935 and by Harvard University in 1937.…
