Résumé:
Much has been said about the Arts & crafts spirit of Californians, their appreciation of the land, their desire to build "simple" yet interesting houses that connect with the outdoors (sleeping porches, gardens, verandas, terraces, and so on), and their love of wilderness areas. This new edition of the classic, "Building with nature: roots of the San Francisco Bay region tradition", focuses on the beginnings (1865 and on) of the Bay area shingle style and Arts & crafts collaboration in California, and the origins of the trend toward building simple rustic homes in harmony with nature. Freudenheim explores how and why a small, influential group of Californians (including Joseph Worcester, Bernard Maybeck, Charles Keeler, William Keith, Charles Lummis, A. Page Brown, and others)-all of whom had come from the East or from England-were especially devoted to Ruskin and the Arts & crafts style and how this combined with their dedication to California's natural beauty to create a unique architectural movement.
