Resumen:
Rural Escapes. The aspirations and pride of Americans have always been reflected in their architecture. And much of that architecture has been intimately related to rural surroundings - ranging from the clapboard cottages of New England and the log cabins of the Midwest to the adobe houses of Arizona and New Mexico. An exuberant tribute to North America's matchless architectural heritage, Rural Escapes explores how buildings have been used to reflect and enhance the natural features of the countryside. Divided into four parts, it showcases 24 beautiful homes that embrace the history of the land and the peoples who live and have lived on it. Each location is lavishly illustrated and sympathetically described by a team of acclaimed writers. |
