Sinossi
Long regarded as one of the most important works ever written in the field of architectural criticism and architectural history Das Englische Haus was first published in 1904 and is now for the first time translated into English in its entirety, with all its original contemporary illustrations and plans. Hermann Muthesius was the cultural attaché at the German Embassy in London at a time of profound change in the arts and crafts and particularly in domestic architecture in Britain. An architect himself, and a friend of Mackintosh and Lethaby, Muthesius was fascinated by the English love of home and countryside, their dislike of ostentation and their enthusiasm for cleanliness – all of which showed itself in the architecture of the day, and which he recorded and discussed in astonishing and still unmatched detail. This book presents the social and historical development of the English house from about 1860 to 1900 – the age of Norman Shaw, Philip Webb, Voysey and Lutyens as well as Mackintosh and Morris. The planning, layout, aspect and aesthetics of the house, are all discussed, analysed and illustrated in detail, along with the interiors, the gardens and even the furniture and sanitary fittings. It has been observed that this book which was, and remains, hugely influential 'single-handedly changed the course of European architecture'. Its full significance can now be properly measured and appreciated.

Hardback. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. volume 2 only, pristine with dust jacket inquire for photos --- The first complete English translation of Hermann Muthesius's Das englische Haus, originally issued in Berlin in 1904-05, presented here in three hardcover volumes: Development, Layout and Construction, and The Interior. Edited with an introduction by Dennis Sharp and translated by Janet Seligman and Stewart Spencer, the work surveys the revival of English domestic architecture from roughly 1860 to 1900, taking in the generation of Norman Shaw, Philip Webb, Voysey, Lutyens and Mackintosh, and the wider currents flowing from William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement. Muthesius, a Prussian architect sent to London in 1896 as attache at the German embassy, examined not only architecture but also decoration, gardens and domestic life, treating house, interior and garden as a single unity. His analysis moves from historical and formal questions to functional and technological ones, with sections on drainage, bathroom fittings, kitchen appliances and the organisation of servants. The set is illustrated throughout in black and white with contemporary plans and photographs, some 270 illustrations in each volume, issued in a slipcase. Codice articolo OA-260625-shelf-10-018
