Hardback. Condition: Good. Specially created in collaboration with Ken Burns for his documentary film series on Thomas Jefferson, these rich photographs portray Jefferson's Palladian masterpiece, Monticello, near Charlottesville, Virginia, as Jefferson might have photographed it himself -- with his own refined intellectual and aesthetic vision. Jefferson died in 1826, the year photography was invented. In the spirit of this early era, award-winning photographer Robert Lautman has captured the house artistically using a unique mid-nineteenth-century method of creating photographs. After shooting the spaces with a large-format camera, and using only natural light -- photographing the east side in the morning and the west side in the afternoon, utilizing shutters and doors for lighting control -- he printed the images with a platinum-palladium process on hand-coated paper. The resulting photographs display a never-before-seen radiant atmosphere of this enchanting place, masterfully reproduced in this charming gift volume. Begun in 1768 when Jefferson was only twenty-five years old, Monticello continued to be altered with changes and additions until his death. It remains the single home in America on the World Heritage List of international treasures. Jefferson, the only architect ever to serve as president, believed this house was his individual exploration and expression of classical architecture. Seen here are the harmonious proportions of the building, warm interiors, extensive grounds, romantic gardens, and elegant furnishings, along with some of Jefferson's prized personal belongings.…

Wraps. Condition: Good. The format is approximately 9 inches by 12 inches. 64, [2] pages, including covers. Illustrations (photographs, some in color, and line drawings). Illustrated front cover has some wear and soiling. Both the Architecture Quarterly and the Washington D.C. based The Forum for Architecture now seem to no longer be operating. Among the topics covered are Venturi, Graham Gund, Robert A. M. Stern, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer, Larsen Morris, Frank Gehry, Samuel Mockbee, and G. R. Tartholick. Most of the content of this quarterly, published for members of the Forum for Architecture, is drawn from the pages of Architecture, monthly professional magazine of the American Institute of Architects. Each year in a special issue Architecture presents a review of the best and most representative recent American buildings. Some of the buildings are chosen by the editors; others are winners of IAI's prestigious honor awards. The building in this second issue of the quarterly are drawn from this year's annual review. It is a varied array, ranging from a spreading downtown marketplace to a one-room schoolhouse on a remote island. The building do have one thing in common, however, and that is architectural quality. The final item is an ensemble of sculptural elements in the desert that stands as eloquent testimony to architecture's close relationship to the other visual arts.
