The Arts & Crafts Country House (Hardcover) $94.17 A detailed survey of 25 major houses from the Arts and Crafts movement reveals the enduring legacy of an architectural idealDrawing upon the unique Country Life archive, this is a fascinating, detailed survey of 25 major country houses designed by the Arts and Crafts movement`s foremost architects, including Lutyens, Webb, Williams-Ellis, and Blow. Growing out of a reaction against the Industrial Revolution in the late 1850s, and inspired by an alternative vision of life based on the revival of traditional building crafts and the use of local materials, the Arts and Crafts movement produced some of Britain`s greatest works of design, architecture, and decorative art. Country Life magazine, founded in 1897, championed the movement in the weekly articles it devoted to country houses, illustrated with specially commissioned photographs. This beautifully illustrated collection reveals the enduring legacy of an architectural ideal while also demonstrating how the Arts and Crafts tradition continues to influence architects today.
