How to build a house - An architectural novelette

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "How to Build a House," Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc offers a meticulous exploration of architectural principles intertwined with practical guidance for the aspiring builder. This seminal work is written in a clear, didactic style, reflecting the author's deep appreciation for both theoretical foundations and hands-on skill. Viollet-le-Duc's narrative weaves together historical references with innovative techniques, reflecting the spirit of the mid-19th century—a period marked by a burgeoning interest in Gothic revival and structural integrity. Each chapter serves not only as a guide but as a philosophical discourse on the relationship between humans and their built environment, infusing the manual with an artistic sensibility that elevates the act of construction to an almost spiritual vocation. As a pioneering architect and a key figure in the Gothic revival movement, Viollet-le-Duc's works were profoundly influenced by his scholarly pursuits and practical experiences. His career was shaped by a desire to preserve and revitalize historical architecture while advocating for structural honesty and aesthetic beauty. This duality reflects in "How to Build a House," where he bridges tradition and progress, embodying his vision for a harmonious relationship between nature and architecture. For architects, builders, and enthusiasts alike, "How to Build a House" serves as an indispensable resource. Its combination of theoretical underpinnings with practical advice not only enriches the reader's understanding of architecture but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the craft of building. This book is essential for anyone engaged in the creation of meaningful spaces that reflect both functionality and artistic expression.

Lopsided - How a 50 50 Common...

Dave Martin

America today is lopsided. Although there are millions of Americans who disagree with the prevailing progressive orthodoxy, they nevertheless tolerate it to avoid heated debate. Meanwhile, progressives push their agenda relentlessly and passionately and have achieved dominance over many American institutions including the News Media, Big Tech, Education, entertainment, bureaucracy, and big business. These institutions operate outside the confines of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. This book describes the who, what, how, and why of the progressive agenda and suggests ways to slow down the deterioration of America.
