Architects of an American Landscape

Autor Hugh Howard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 ian 2023
  • For readers of Simon Winchester, Witold Rybczynski, and Andrea Wulf, Architects of an American Landscape chronicles the lives and work of two titans of American culture-great friends and often collaborators-who reimagined how Americans could interact with the built and natural worlds around them.
    • Olmsted is well-remembered, but Richardson has been almost completely forgotten, even though he revolutionized American architecture and was a larger-than-life character. No proper biography of Richardson has appeared since 1888, two years after his death. Discovering his contributions will be a revelation for readers.
    • Hundreds of thousands of people every day enjoy parks designed by Olmsted or structures built or influenced by Richardson without any awareness of their genius. This book will forever change their outlook.
    • We are publishing in advance of the 200th anniversary of Olmsted's birth on April 26, 1822, and expect this will give opportunities for events, media, and promotion.
    • Architects of an American Landscape is fully illustrated throughout with some 70 archival photographs, blueprints, and drawings that illuminate the narrative.
    • Previous books by Hugh Howard have received glowing reviews in major media outlets, and blurbs from such luminaries as Walter Isaacson, Joseph Ellis, and Douglas Brinkley. We expect similar response to his new book. His widely praised dual portrait of Frank Lloyd Wright and Philip Johnson, Architecture's Odd Couple, is a model for this new book.
