Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An in-depth account of the life and career of Minnesota's first modern architect2024 Docomomo US Modernism in America Award of Excellence2021 Finalist, Minnesota Book Award, Emilie Buchwald Award for Minnesota NonfictionElizabeth 'Lisl' Scheu Close (19122011) left an indelible mark on Minnesota's built landscape during her six decades as an architect. In 1938, with her husband, Winston Close, she founded the state's first architecture firm dedicated to modernism. In addition to designing the first International Style house in Minneapolis, the firm also created more than 250 handsome and efficiently planned modern residences. One of few women who were practicing architects in the mid-twentieth century, she blazed a trail for future generations of women in the profession.As Jane King Hession shows, the trajectory of Lisl's architectural career was shaped by the political, economic, and aesthetic upheavals of the twentieth century. Raised in a renowned modern house in Vienna, Austria, Lisl was exposed to revolutionary ideas in art and architecture at a young age. Forced to emigrate to the United States as the Nazis rose to power in Europe, she completed her architectural education at MIT. During the Depression, she struggled to find work and encountered challenges as a young woman in the field. In her pursuit of and devotion to a singular and successful career as a modern architect, she proved herself to be talented, determined, and adept at negotiating obstacles.Through documentation of Lisl's projects, this personal and professional biography also explores multiple aspects of modern architecture, including the innovative use of new materials and technologies, the design of prefabricated houses, and the relationship between residential design and changing American lifestyles. …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. The format is approximately 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. 159, [1] pages. Illustrations (some with color). Foreword by Mike Wallace. Frank Lloyd Wright in New York City: A Chronology. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Jane King Hession is a Minneapolis-based architectural writer and historian specializing in midcentury modernism. She holds a Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) from the University of Minnesota and Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Art History from SUNY Albany. She is a past president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy and the Minneapolis Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians, and a founding partner of Modern House Productions. Debra Pickrel is a New York journalist who has written on architecture and design for Architectural Record, House Beautiful, Metropolis, and Preservation. She is also the author of A Day in Turtle Bay, a walking tour of her Manhattan neighborhood with a foreword by Walter Cronkite. A former board member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, Pickrel is a journalism graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received her M.A. in Historic Preservation from Goucher College. Frank Lloyd Wright in New York: The Plaza Years, 1954-1959, examines the momentous five-year period when one of the world's greatest architects and one of the world's greatest cities dynamically coexisted. Authors Jane Hession and Debra Pickrel bring each of these unequaled characters to life, exploring the fascinating contradiction between Wright's often-voiced disdain of New York and his pride and pleasure in living in one of the city's great landmarks: the Plaza Hotel. From his suite, or "Taliesin the Third," as it became known, Wright supervised construction of the Guggenheim, sparred with the New York press, and received many famous visitors such as Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller. The book also includes a foreword by Mike Wallace of CBS News/60 Minutes fame, whose seminal interviews of Wright in the 1950s were two of his career favorites. The book received the 2008 Independent Publisher Awards Gold Medal for Architecture. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…
