    Extractions: Luxembourg traditional architecture in the United States Some elements of Luxembourg traditional architecture Luxembourg traditional architecture is based on stone construction, a technique introduced by the Romans. Stone dominates the picture in every town and village in Luxembourg. Not only houses but barns, bake houses, smoke houses were constructed of stone. Gardens had no fences but stone walls, cemeterys had not wooden but stone crosses and monuments. Stone structures were coated in stucco and mortar in a variety of earth tones, whitewashing was a more common practice in the Norther part of Luxembourg. The layout plan of the main buildings is a stretched rectangle with the length of the building being generally 2 or 3 times their width. Typical rural Luxembourg architecture is exemplified by the "Quereinhaus", a combined house and barn , with house stable and barn in one lenghthy unit lying under one roof. The buildings were one and a half or two stories high. Above the second floor was the "Speicher" (from Latin: spicarium = grainery), used for storing grain and fruits. The floor of the "Speicher" was usually covered with a cement floor, more suitable for storing and supporting weight. It was rodent proof and provided protection in case of fire. Half hip or jerking roofs were common, they were eaveless, which means that there was virtually no overhang where the roof met the walls. Although the original cover of the roof was straw, which meant that a fire in a closely-built village could destroy a large part of the agglomeration, legal precriptions (10 July 1845) prohibited thatching and imposed fireproof material to cover the roof (Although the purpose of this measure was evident, it was not perceived as such by the impoverished population. A slate or tile cover added a significant weight, imposing the reconstruction of the roof framework and sometimes reinforcement or reconstruction of the supporting walls). Black slate was used throughout the country, however the Moselle area had a preference for red half cylindrical tiles.

We had a 40 X 60 pegged post and beam barn with a full height central bay with 20 feet high double doors on both of the long sides. You could drive a loaded hay wagon in one side and out the other. We had two hay lofts on either side of the central bay. We had cattle holding area under one side loft. Attached to the main barn was a milking parlor 12 X 60 divided into two sections, one for milking and one for milk storage and wash room. When enough hay was removed from one of the lofts, we played basketball in that loft. Uneven plank flooring made for intersting bounces of the ball. If I were to build a barn house today, I would consider using the central bay as a basketball court/atrium/open space. One could also use one of the lofts as a ball court, but the space in the central bay allows for baskets at both ends with no overhead clearance problems. The lofts could become bedrooms with or without baths and the areas under the lofts would be the living, dining, kitchen, and bath. You are limited only by your imagination as to how you arrange these rooms. What arrangement is it that YOU want? Depending on the type of roof you choose you may have a third level that could be used as an attic space or as additional rooms. A Dutch roof lends itself to additional rooms.

    Extractions: Barns John Michael Vlach Overview A far-reaching visual survey of farm buildings across the United States, tracing their historical and regional influences. The first in the Norton/Library of Congress Visual Sourcebooks series, Barns presents a broad, fresh, and newly informed visual analysis of one of America's fundamental building types. In a nation founded upon agrarian principles, with a cultural and physical landscape as vast as it is diverse, the barn has long been recognized as an American icon. Drawn from the vast holdings of the Library of Congress, nearly 1,000 illustrations provide a tour of barns across the United States, from New England to the Great Lakes to the South, Midwest, and Far West. Barns traces geographical and chronological continuities of type, design, and construction, and Dutch, German, French and Spanish influence. Captions identify each document and building, and all images are included on a CD-ROM with a link to the Library’s high-resolution files. Barns is the first comprehensive visual resource of its kind, an invaluable tool for architects, historians, students, and all those who love barns.

    http://www.smokykin.com/smhs/arch2.html
    
    Extractions: Almost every Tennessean knows that Sevier County, Tennessee, is the home of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Dollywood, and the main entrance into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Although these places are significant to the tourism-driven economy of Sevier County, its history and architecture span over two hundred years and cover much more than the recent craze of country music theme parks and outlet shopping malls. For example, did you know that the agriculturally-dominated economy of the county in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries resulted in not one, but two distinct barns types unique to the region? Millions of tourists and locals alike have marveled at the wonderful Sevier County Courthouse in Sevierville, but did you know that it's probably the most elaborate courthouse ever designed by a nationally-known architectural firm based in Louisville, Kentucky?

    Extractions: Through-out a fifty year career in St. pail, Lundie designed more than 300 projects, predominantly residences. His architectural designs are considered among the best work of Minnesota architects in the twentieth century but what set Lundie apart from his colleagues was his devotion to detail and love of fine craftsmanship. In this book, the author brings together a foward by David Gebhard that sets Lundie in the nation context, a biographical essay by Eileen Michels, his own piece assessing Lundie's design principles, outstanding color photographs by Peter Kerze, beautiful renderings in pen and ink by Lundie himself, and thirty profiles of individual buildings.

    Extractions: From Skyscrapers to Barns and Everything in Between By Paulette Campbell Virginia's most enduring legact lies in its architecture, says Richard Guy Wilson, a professor at the University of Virginia, far more than through painting, literature, or any other traditional art form. He mentions Mount Vernon and Monticello as two of the most famous historic houses in the country, and cites Colonial Williamsburg as the touchstone for understanding life in the eighteenth century. But there are unexpected architectural treasures to be found, he says, among the county courthouses, the rural churches, the Civil War cemeteries, and even the shopping malls. They are all part of a new guidebook: Buildings of Virginia: Tidewater and Piedmont Structures both famous and obscure can be found on its pages. There is Pear Valley on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, a one-room, yeoman farmer’s cottage believed to date from 1740 with a chimney that measures ten feet across at the base. A number of churches are included, among them St. Luke’s Church in Isle of Wight County, the earliest surviving Anglican church in the state. Anglicanism had been the state’s official religion until disestablishment in 1786. Another, Christ Church in Lancaster County, dating from pre-Revolutionary Virginia, offers testimony to the power of the patron, in this case Robert “King” Carter. “In churches such as this . . . the local gentry would express their status by having their family pews raised higher than those of the lesser members of the congregation,” Wilson writes. Still another is the Third Street Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Richmond, which dates back to 1859, a reminder of the existence of a sizable free black population in the state before the Civil War.

    http://centrecountyhistory.org/ccarch.html
    
    Extractions: Glossary Centre County was, for the first half century or so of its history, cut off from more populated areas of Pennsylvania by the "Endless Mountains," the long folded Appalachians that can be seen from nearly every point in the County. Because this isolation limited exposure to new architectural ideas, early local building styles — folk housing — repeated styles that were similar to what had been built by the County's first British and German settlers. As these styles changed over the years to meet an owner or builder's own needs and ideas, they took on a vernacular style, meaning common or local. While vernacular houses, plus conservative versions of earlier British styles continued to be built throughout the 1800s, new Victorian styles began to be introduced mid-century. Victorian fashion came to Centre County in architectural pattern books and popualr journals, and through the arrival of railroads bringing news of other places and other ideas. By the 1860s, the county was being swept into the nation's cultural mainstream. Architectural examples of a full range of Victorian styles — from Gothic Revival to Queen Anne — can be found throughout the County. After the turn of the century, county residents had the opportunity to choose what best fitted their needs from a new set of increasingly available national styles. Craftsman Bungalows, Prairie-style Foursquares, Dutch and English Colonial Revivals, highly detailed English Tudor Revival homes, and even buildings in the International and Moderne styles were available through architect-designed plans, pattern books, and mail-order catalogs.

    Extractions: by Jane Block, Ricker Library I would like to call your attention to two wonderful new acquisitions to Ricker Library. Through our participation in the Library-wide competition funded by a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant, Ricker Library received two microfiche sets produced by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The first, Artist Files , contains some 200,000 separate items representing more than 20,000 artists (painters, sculptors, graphic, conceptual, installation and performance artists, illustrators, photographers, architects and film makers.) The files were established shortly after the MOMA opened its doors in 1929. The importance of the files lies in the fact that many lesser known artists are included who have not as yet had books or exhibition catalogs devoted to their work. Many who are included are not listed in the standard biographical directories. Thus the information in the Artist Files may be the only documentation on a particular artist. The contents of the files are quite varied including gallery invitations, press releases, correspondence with art dealers and collectors, posters, newspaper clippings, price lists, and occasional photographs. The files are arranged alphabetically by the artist’s name and chronologically Spring 1998 within each file. The set consists of approximately 5,200 microfiche.

79. Shaker Architecture
    The Distinctiveness of Shaker architecture by Robert P. Emlen As I passed by the clapboarded frame farmhouses and connected barns of Cumberland County,  
    http://www.shakerworkshops.com/emlen.htm
    
    Extractions: Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village. View from the North West, West Gloucester, ME. Originally published as the foreword in: The Architecture of the Shakers by Julie Nicoletta. Photography by Bret Morgan. Publisher Countryman Press, 1995. ONE SUMMER DAY YEARS AGO I was driving the back roads of Maine with the guidebook on the dashboard, looking for the Shaker village at Sabbathday Lake. As I passed by the clapboarded frame farmhouses and connected barns of Cumberland County, I wondered if these plain structures might be part of the Shaker village. "Nope," said the woman at a little country store where I stopped to ask the way. "Just up the road. You'll know it when you see it." I wasn't so sure. What made the store keeper think I would recognize a place I had never been? Over the years, I had driven many a mile on several continents admiring all sorts of architecture. In graduate school, I had memorized the styles of American buildings for slide exams. Still, I had no mental image of a Shaker village. I wondered if I might drive right past this one without knowing it. And then, as I came over the hill, flanking the road before me was a compact and tidy village of substantial buildings. Although they generally resembled those I had passed on the farms and in the towns down the road, this place was clearly different. I knew that I had arrived in a Shaker village. My memories of that first visit to Sabbathday Lake bring to mind the words of nineteenth-century travelers who recorded their initial impressions of Shaker villages. Invariably, their accounts remark on the distinctive appearance of the settlements: the number and quality of the buildings, the neat and clean look of the landscape, the air of prosperity about the community, the sense that Shaker villages are unmistakably different from the homes of their rural neighbors. The broad styles of Shaker architecture are not unique, nor are their building materials, nor their ways of working wood and cutting stone and forging metal. The real difference lies in how Shakers live their lives - and the homes they made for themselves reflect that distinctiveness.

    Extractions: Mike Barns is Maori from New Zealand and serves as Treaty Settlement Negotiator for Tuwharetoa ki Kawerau, as an Executive Member of Tribal Government (Te Runanga O Tuwharetoa Ki Kawerau), and as Secretary of Traditional Land Trusts (Kawerau A12 Land Trust). Mr. Barns earned his Masters in Architecture from the University of Hawaii, with detailed studies in Architecture of Asia, the Pacific and the United States. He received the East West Centre Scholarship from the U.S. government and undertook international research and studies at the East West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. He earned his B.Arch. from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Mr. Barns is a Senior Fellow at the Institute. His work focuses on sacred landscapes and cultural risk. These studies include the investigation of cultural perceptions of the landscape and the idea of particular tribal groups having differing ways of perceiving and responding to the environment. Often, traditional perceptions have become ritualized in ceremony and prayer, and at a political level in resource management systems and tribal government environmental education, management and harvest programs. Of particular interest are the relationships of indigenous peoples with national or federal governments, utility companies, oil, coal, gas and uranium developers and the positions of indigenous peoples in such relationships. The Sacred Landscapes Program seeks to locate native peoples at a level of influence and control over their traditional resources and over landscapes that affect their social, cultural and economic well-being.
