Moore created hundreds of buildings and outdoor spaces all over the world, including homes, museums, churches and office blocks. This text examines his work and explores what it means to inhabit and why it is vital to craft and make cities with care.; "The life of one of this century's preeminent American architects, whose ebullient personality and jazzy, eclectic style left an enduring legacy, is captured in these pages. Charles Moore (1925-1993) was a maverick genius, a gregarious pied piper who moved from one university to the next, establishing architectural firms at each new locale and overseeing projects all over the world - including, most famously, Sea Ranch in California and the fantastical Piazza d'Italia in New Orleans. Combining whimsy and rigor, high art and low, the ordinary and the ornate, his buildings and other projects are fresh, witty, surprising, unconventional - and always appealing human-scaled. Ever open to new influences - from Alvar Aalto and Frank Lloyd Wright to Paul Klee, feng-shui, Balinese villages, chaos theory, and the villas of Palladio - Moore himself exerted enormous influence on a whole generation of American architects. Most remarkable is the fact that Moore was as expressive with words as he was with building materials, making his posthumous writings a great addition not only to the literature on architecture but to twentieth-century American culture as well."--Book jacket ; FINE/FINE.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. The interplay of water and architecture has intrigued world-renowned architect Charles W. Moore and internationally acclaimed photographer Jane Lidz for decades. Their mutual interest has resulted in 'Water and Architecture,' a collaboration of vibrant, poetic images and words in which the two reveal the expressive force of water, one of the most powerful and versatile of architectural elements. In his lively, insightful text, Moore first addresses the symbolism of water as a design element, then examines the specific uses of water in a wide spectrum of architectural structures -- fountains and waterfalls, rivers and canals, lakes and pools, and oceans and island -- concluding with a look at basic design principles and environmental issues. Following each chapter are Lidz's spectacular color photographs -- 130 in all -- that bring the sites and ideas discussed vividly to life. The inspirational beauty of these images captures the essence of each design. The scope of the book is impressive. The architecture ranges in style from classical to post-modern, and includes places both celebrated and secret, from splendid palaces to humble plazas, waterfront skylines to private pools. Equally broad is the worldwide geographical span of the book: Bali, Belgium, China, England, France, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Spain, Thailand, and the United States are represented in Lidz's photographs. The text sections are accompanied by black-and-white documentary illustrations and architectural plans. A comprehensive list of the color photographs and an index round out this magnificent volume, which speaks not only to architects and designers but also to lovers of art, photography, gardens, and travel -- toanyone who has ever been enthralled by the mystical power of water. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
