Die leichte Verfügbarkeit des Hauptbaustoffs Holz, die Einfachheit der Konstruktion und die dadurch gegebene Möglichkeit, Holzrahmenbauten überall schnell und auch durch wenig geübte Arbeiter errichten zu können, liessen Balloon Framing rasch zur dominierenden Bauweise quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten werden. Bis heute vermag sie sozio-ökonomische Grenzen im gesellschaftlich tief gespaltenen Amerika ebenso zu verwischen wie die Unterschiede zwischen Bautypologien: Arm und Reich wohnen überall in Häusern derselben Bauweise - wenn auch sehr unterschiedlicher Grösse und Ausstattung -, die zugleich auch Gewerbe aller Art und Grösse unterbringen kann. Dieses englischsprachige Buch bietet eine neue Erkundung des amerikanischen Holzrahmenbaus in Text und Bild. Reich illustriert mit historischen Bildern und Plänen, neu aufgenommenen Fotografien und neu erstellten Konstruktionszeichnungen, geht es der Frage nach, was die Entwicklungsbedingungen dieser in weiten Teilen der USA allgegenwärtigen Bauweise waren und welche Konsequenzen sie für die Architektur und Baukultur des Landes bis heute hat.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Originating in 1832 in Chicago with a balloon-framed warehouse designed by George Washington Snow, timber framing - also known at the time as 'Chicago construction' - introduced softwood construction to the world. The easy availability of the principal material, its simplicity of construction, an ability to be erected by low or unskilled workers, and the growing economies and populations of the American Midwest proliferated an architecture that has since dominated the American built landscape and erased typological and class distinctions of architectural production. The richest and poorest people live in houses that are built the same way: all framing is the same and all framing is good. American Framing: The Architecture of a Specific Anonymity is a visual and textual exploration of the conditions and consequences of these ubiquitous structures. Archival drawings and images from origin, along with newly commissioned photographs by Linda Robbennolt, Daniel Shea, and Chris Strong, as well as and plans and drawings show this quintessentially American type of construction that has enabled an all-American architecture. AUTHORS: Paul Andersen is the director of Independent Architecture, a Denver-based office with projects that speculate on the roles that form, repetition, and pop culture play in architecture. Jayne Kelley is an editor and writer based in Chicago and currently a visiting assistant professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago's School of Architecture. Paul Preissner is the principal of Paul Preissner Architects in Oak Park, IL, and an Associate Professor of Architecture at University of Illinois at Chicago. SELLING POINTS: .
