{"product_id":"american-architects-and-their-books-kenneth-hafertepe-9781558492820","title":"American Architects and Their Books to 1848","description":"Since the Renaissance, architects have been authors and architecture has been the subject of publications. Architectural forms and theories are spread not just by buildings, but by the distribution of images and descriptions fed through the printing press. The study of an architect's library is an essential avenue to understanding that architect's intentions and judging his or her achievements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this well-illustrated volume, a chronological sequel to \u003ci\u003eAmerican Architects and Their Books to 1848\u003c\/i\u003e, twelve distinguished historians of architecture discuss from various points of view the books that inspired architects both famous and not-so-famous, and the books the architects themselves produced. They examine the multifaceted relationship of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architects to print culture--the literary works that architects collected, used, argued over, wrote, illustrated, designed, printed, were inspired by, cribbed from, educated clients with, advertised their services through, designed libraries for, or just plain enjoyed. The result is a volume that presents the intersection of the history of architecture, the history of ideas, and the history of the book. Changes in print culture during this period had a significant impact on the architectural profession, as revealed in these well-informed scholarly essays. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn addition to the editors, contributors include Jhennifer A.
