CARRERE & HASTINGS ARCHITECTS is the first complete examination and visual record of the firm s exceptional achievements. Written by four eminent architectural historians and praised by the Journal SAH as 'substantive,' 'authoritative,' and 'elegant,' this lavish slipcased set is a definitive work on the two master architects. Volume I features detailed biographies and a history of the firm, along with a thorough record of their urban designs: commercial and civic structures, urbane parks, and distinguished town houses. Volume II concentrates on their country house and landscape work, a field in which they had no peer, as well as their achievements as designers of churches, academic, and institutional buildings, and festive exhibition pavilions for world fairs. Illustrated with more than 800 duotone photographs, including 7 gatefolds plates, the set includes a catalog of Carrere & Hastings projects, a roster of the firm s members, and a comprehensive bibliography.
