About This Item
New York: George Braziller, 1975. Contents: 1). Preface. 2). Text. 3). 133 b/w Illustrations. With notes and index. Vincent Joseph Scully, Jr. (*1920) is Sterling Professor Emeritus of the History of Art in Architecture at Yale University, and the author of several books on the subject. Architect Philip Johnson once described Scully as 'the most influential architectural teacher ever'. His lectures at Yale were known to attract casual visitors and packed houses, and regularly received standing ovations. The Shingle style is an American architectural style made popular by the rise of the 'New England school of architecture', which eschewed the highly ornamented patterns of the Eastlake style in Queen Anne architecture. In the Shingle style, English influence was combined with the renewed interest in Colonial American architecture which followed the 1876 celebration of the Centennial. The plain, shingled surfaces of colonial buildings were adopted, and their massing emulated. 118 pag. Second printing. Paperback. Good condition/Cover illustrated. 24cmx16cm.
