A thoroughly revised and significantly expanded edition of the popular 1980s original, Googie Redux is the authoritative history of the mid-20th century icon that ignited an architectural revolution: the coffee shop. Emblematic of Southern California car culture, stylized eateries and other roadside buildings built from the 1930s to the 1950s were dismissed as lowbrow stylistic folly in their heyday. Yet, as Alan Hess points out, in many ways they were the realization of modern architecture's grand promises. They were populist, employed new materials, and captured their purpose, place, and culture as vividly as any great architectural style. The influential original edition helped to spark a robust preservation movement and kick-started the reappreciation of mid-century architecture and design. This latest edition features extensive up-to-date research and dozens of rarely seen and newly found photographs. Googie Redux is the definitive document of a style born in California that has spread to all corners of the world.

Baltimore, sometimes referred to as Charm City, has a long and fascinating history. In this book history changes before the reader's eyes. From its founding in the early 1700s and its incorporation in 1797, Baltimore has been a major port city, full of life and bustle. According to the National Anthem, "our flag was still there" during a battle of the War of 1812, and indeed, the star-spangled banner still flies over Fort McHenry, where the battle occurred. The life and bustle remains at waterside, but instead of clipper ships or steamboats carrying passengers and cargo, tourists now flock to such sights as the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, Fort McHenry, the National Aquarium, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and Federal Hill. All these places and more are featured in this book.

Newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst and his legendary California estate occupy a place in the public imagination through Orson Welles's Citizen Kane, but Kane's brooding Xanadu was merely a caricature of Hearst's exuberant castle at San Simeon. This new book sets the record straight and proves that, for once, truth is better than fiction.

Here for the first time is the real story of Hearst Castle, and of the productive 28-year relationship between Hearst and his architect, Julia Morgan, who collaborated on the magnificent 165-room estate set on 250,000 breathtaking acres near the remote seaside hamlet of San Simeon, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Drawing on previously unpublished correspondence, and illustrated with never-before-seen historic photographs as well as more than 150 stunning color pictures, Victoria Kastner chronicles the evolution of this extraordinary hilltop, with its two spectacular pools and its astounding collections of fine art and antiques. Sprinkled throughout with stories of the famous parties hosted by Hearst and his companion, movie star Marion Davies, and their celebrated guests, this book brings to life America's most glamorous country house.

You are a member of and advisory board who answers to a public figure; someone who is in control of, and makes decisions concerning the architectural development of the city where you reside. It has been established that there is a need for a new museum to house the historic art and artifacts of the city and surrounding region. You have been given the responsibility to begin the search for the appropriate architect as well as inform the said public figure of the reasons why a particular architect/architecture is suitable for the charge of the museum. Your research begins with understanding historical models for museums and similar institutions. In your paper you must select four examples that programmatically fit your idea of ?museum? and explain why you have chosen these buildings (note that the chosen buildings do not necessarily need to be museums). You must then present your findings to the board for review. It is your responsibility to explain why these models are good precedents, and then you must explain why, even though these where suitable at the time, they may not be suitable now. Also, you must reference four contemporary museums that you feel are appropriate in order to foster a connective historical understanding of your choices to your audience: the board. Essentially, you will be selecting buildings that can perform as a museum ?type.? You will explain the positive, and potentially negative, attributes of the building as an historic model. The selection of the contemporary ? modern ? buildings is to reinforce both positive and negative elements. Remember, in the end, you are not selecting a ?building.? You are educating a group of people in order for them to make the appropriate decisions on hiring an architect. You will not suggest an architect. The ideas in your paper are general. You should use thoughts discussed in the lectures as well as your individual research. Remember that notions of program, formal design, materials, structure and contemporary ideas are all constituents that should be used in your paper. Any suggestions? (more...)

Bertrand Mpigabahizi Geography PAP A3 4-28-08 Field Study # 1 (Temple Emanu-El) ?The predominant building materials are light brown cement, dark brown wood, and some foreign marble from northern Syria. ?The temple Emanu ? El was the first Jewish temple in northern Texas being built in 1875, without the additional work on the original building it would have been in terrible condition but with the better structural work the building looks brand new. ?The main colors are dark brown, white and blue. ?The Temple of Emanu-El was build over a century ago in 1875, making it 133 years old. ?In height the building isn?t that spectacular with most of the building being only 2 floors up , but the length of the building surpasses both of the previous buildings. So in height The Emanu ? El does not bring anything special to the neighborhood, but with the fact that it goes on for miles it certainly has something alluring to its name. ?Like most modern church?s the architectural features does not hold a torch to the medieval church?s that litter southern Europe and east Africa. It was built more like a outside high school with many rooms and hall ways. ?Unlike the Islamic mosques the Jewish temple is littered with images of the holy figures and scenes from the Old Testament. ?The temple is located in a busy intersection surrounded by shopping centers, schools, malls, and hundreds of streets. ?There is a school that in height surpasses the temple in the east ward and there is also a medical center in the posterior of the property. ?Together with the school and the center it does have a presence in the busy area but it loses some shine from the near by mall and many shopping centers and schools. For more information you can check out the Temple?s web site: http://www.tedallas.org/index.html Field Study # 2 ( Dallas Masjid ) ?The Frisco Masjid is absolutely beautiful and the diverse building material certainly helps give the building the allure that helps attract so many visitors. It is predominantly made out of colored brick, cement, Egyptian marble and foreign materials from India and east Africa. ?The main building is considered old to some people being little bit under a half a century years old , but if you ever have the chance of visiting the mosque it looks like it has only been standing for two or three years. It?s truly in a healthy condition looking finer then buildings only standing for a couple of years. ?The main colors are blue , brown and green. ?The main building was built in 1968, but other structures have been constantly being built ever since. ?The size is beyond imagine, it sky rockets out of the ground and surpasses almost every building in its surrounding areas. ?Like most mosques in both the Middle East and around the world this building is littered with impressive architectural features and designs, from painted towers to eerie columns this mosque leaves little to the imagination. Other then towers and columns the building also has a huge dome the erupts out of the core of the building. ?Like many mosques the Dallas Masjid does not show off many symbolic pictures or paintings of Muhammad or God, but do have hundreds of paintings of angles and symbols in both the exterior and anterior of the building. ?Inside the main property the building is surrounded by lush gardens and a protective brick wall that circles around the anterior?..but on the outside of the property there are busy streets and many residential neighborhoods. ?There is no other building or structures surrounding the mosque except the brick wall that circulates the building. ?Other then a near by sky scraper, the mosques dominates the surrounding area which only consists of residential neighborhoods and busy streets. For more information you can check out the Mosque?s web site: http://www.masjidalislam.org/index.htm Field Study # 3 (Celebration Centre) ?The Celebration Covenant Church in Frisco Texas is made out of two prominent building materials red brick and white cement .The bricks beautifully make out the columns of the church and the minor roof, while the cement makes up the rest of the building. ?The structural condition is very sound , only being built a couple of years ago (6 years ) the building has not yet experienced the harsh conditions some church?s in Europe and other areas have gone through having being been standing for centuries ?The main colors are light brown, dark brown , and blue . ?.The church it self was built in May 19th , 2002 in Frisco Texas but the original plans for the church were made around the mid 90s by pastors Keith and Shelia Craft and the original CCC team . ?Where the church is located it is the biggest man -made structure second to the Frisco library, so comparing it to other buildings it?s a pretty outstanding size. But by 2010 after the present day church is upgraded it will pass the size of the Frisco library and many other buildings in Frisco. ?The church has some outstanding architectural features in its present form with brick columns and many glass openings. But by 2010 when the church is upgraded, many historic sculptures, cathedral like towers and numerous columns will be added that it even will rival some off the great church?s standing today. ?The Celebration Covenant Church is more of a modern church and does not display any symbolic icons on the exterior of the buildings expect a glass portrait of the Christ. ?The church is located near busy streets, gated communities, vacant green lands, and shopping spaces?..if it wasn?t for its noticeable size the church would be washed out into its diverse background. ?Other then the main building there is a medium size building nearing the exterior of the church, and a sports center in the far left. ?The Celebration Covenant Church is the dominant man ? made structure in the area the only thing that out shines it is the Frisco library and depending where you are looking at a main high in the far end of the region.

I am considering earning my bachelor's in history, with the goal of eventually getting a master's in something along the lines of historic restoration or preservation, or maybe architectural history. Any kind of historian job would be good...but I'm not 100% sure yet. Anyway, I'm wondering if a bachelor's in history is one of those degrees that you either use to become a teacher (a history teacher) or else that you end up applying to something completely different, like a PhD in psychology or an MBA, because it is too general of a degree.
