内容简介

　　It w来自as once common to discuss the work of Charle360百科s Platt (1861-1933) alongside that of McKim, Mead & White, but by the time of his death, Platt's name had already fallen out of favor under the influence of modern movement critics.This long-overdue reevaluation of P题扬证玉防继世夜联艺器latt's career shows that in the first decade of this century, Platt's office was one of the New York firms that do集其高两事纪部治写minated the 绍耐连曾general development of Am树终太项丝群erican architecture, and his country houses and G众未风所伤否们判看eorgian s答致春煤输tyle mansions were regarded as the best American examples of their genre. He led the American rev名个感杨衡式编想头苦必ival of the formal garden in the 1890s, and is credited with having introduced the American villa theory in his book "Italian Gardens "(1894). Morgan notes that Platt first achieved a r流依统建亲适为室间距历eputation for his accomplished landscape paintings and etchings, and his 凯调而尔刑独史自阶conception of building and garden design grew out of t款his training rather than the formal Beaux-Ar站ts curriculum subscribed to by most of his successful contemporaries.

　　The book treats P次茶谁动鸡足六源例latt's work in five chapters: his study of art at the National Academy of Design in New York and in Paris 短导盟烟超架养磁where he exhibited in salons and garnered awards as a landscape painter; the 义虽铁政煤者南袁弦impact of his work on Italian gardens; his large-scale country estates and domestic buildings, where the Ita资出六往查lian preceden基旧土度百格宁通西才ts were adjusted to local conditions; his public architecture and urban commissions, which include the freer Art Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Vincent Astor estate in New York, and the campuses of the University of Illinois, the Connecticut College for Women, Deerfield Academy, and Philip's Academy in Andover.Keith Morgan is Professor of Architecture in the American Studies Program at Boston University.
