Built For Us
by Lewis Martin
Prayers in Stone
by Paul Eli Ivey
The classical revival style of architecture made famous by the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago left its mark on one of the most sustained classical building movements in American architectural history: the Christian Science church. Characterized at the turn of the century by a middle-class membership that was over 75 percent female, Christian Science emphasized a radical spiritual healing and suggested civic reform solutions based on an idealistic and pragmatic individualism. Its architecture served as a focal point for discussions concerning architecture as a major element of religious and social change.
Australian Gothic
by Brian Andrews
Australian Gothic is the first comprehensive book on the Australia face of that remarkable nineteenth-century movement, the Gothic Revival. With its roots in late-1830s England, this earnest return to building in the style of the Middle Ages touched most aspects of the Australian built environment, including houses, churches, banks, schools, even funeral parlors and tombstones. The majestic cathedrals of Australia's major cities are its most monumental expression, but no less significant are the wooden-box churches in remote outback towns, with their pointed-arch doors and windows. Brian Andrews explores the nature, scope and sources of the Gothic Revival, from the grand buildings, the great architects and their patrons, to the not-so-good, the humorous, the pretentious, the copy-cats and their works.
