Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book chronicles the career of Bernard Maybeck (1862-1957), one of the most innovative and influential architects in the Arts and Crafts movement. Raised in Greenwich Village and trained in Paris, Maybeck spent most of his long career in northern California. An irrespressible bohemian with no desire to run a large office, he designed mainly houses, with two notable exceptions: the brilliant Church of Christ, Scientist, and the gloriously romantic Palace of Fine Arts. This book features in full colour Maybeck's exquisite interiors and exteriors and analyzes every aspect of his work. Presenting not only his architecture but also his furniture, his lighting designs, and his innovations in fire-resistant construction, it includes documentary photographs. This aims to be a major study of an internationally significant architect whose environmentally responsive work has much to offer to today's designers. Also included is an illustrated catalogue of buildings by Maybeck. Gracefully written and brilliantly illustrated, this handsome new volume captures the vision, the wit, and the down-to-earth inventiveness of one of the most influential and beloved architects of the early twentieth century. Raised in Greenwich Village and trained in Paris, Maybeck spent most of his long career in northern California. An irrepressible bohemian with no desire to run a large office, he spent much of his time designing houses for friends and family, as well as for other patrons so loyal that they often hired him to design more than one house. Maybeck also created two of the most beautiful buildings in all of California: the exhilarating Church of Christ, Scientist, in Berkeley, and the gloriously romantic Palace of Fine Arts, in San Francisco. This incisive overview - the first to feature color reproductions of Maybeck's exquisite interiors and exteriors - analyzes every aspect of his life and work. Not only is his architecture thoroughly discussed and illustrated but also his furniture, his lighting designs, and his innovations in fire-resistant construction. The book is also enlivened by documentary photographs, by clearly drawn plans, and by several of Maybeck's dazzling, previously unpublished visionary drawings. Bernard Maybeck is a major study of an internationally significant architect whose environmentally responsive work has much to offer today's designers and whose houses have given enormous pleasure to those fortunate enough to visit or dwell in them.
