Product Description
Building Facades: Faces, Figures, and Ornamental Details
Unique in the literature and sure to become a standard reference, here is the first guide to the identification and restoration of building facades. Featuring 2,000 b/w halftones illustrations, it chronicles in photo-essay style the diversity of facades from around the world. Images are shown within their historical and social context, and are easily accessed through cross-references to chronology, geography, location, building type, type of detail, and materials used. Select case studies (Ellis Island Museum and others) emphasize the practical aspects of preservation.
