About This Item
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 2000. xx, 252 pages, illustrations (some colour); 28 cm. Near fine. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Age toning. First paperback edition. "Lisa Germany's biography of Harwell Hamilton Harris (1903-1990) details the work of an architect who successfully merged the ideals of modern and California regionalist architecture. Harris was a sculptor who changed careers when he saw Wright's Hollyhock House and realized that an architect could make sculpture on a monumental scale that both functioned as a home and moved in and out of nature. Germany traces the development of Harris's life and career, assessing his place in American modernism, in the development of regionalist architecture, and in the interpretation of a modern California lifestyle that would gain admirers throughout the world. Her discussion opens a window into the complexities of modernism in America during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. / Lisa Germany has written widely on American architecture for Architectural Record, The New York Times, Harvard Design Magazine, Landscape Architecture, House and Garden and other journals." - Publisher.. 1st.
