Book excerpt: In Buildings of Iowa, David Gebhard and Gerald Mansheim trace Iowa's architectural history from the earliest Native American influences to the present. Divided into five regional areas--Mississippi River East, Mississippi River West, and the Central, South, and North regions--the book's entries within each area are presented on a town-by-town basis to include the full array of Iowa's architectural offerings in various styles. Whether discussing farm houses, barns, and silos or churches, schools, courthouses, and libraries, the volume shows how a unity of rural and urban is effectively mirrored in Iowa's buildings.

This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naegele's "Guide to the Only Good Architecture in Iowa" is a deceptive title but it is not a misnomer. 'Guide' is accurate.' Iowa' is fairly accurate. 'Naegele's' is there because this is a personal account, one that makes no attempt to be unbiased. 'Naegele's' qualifies 'Good', "good" being not absolute but contingent and personal and therefore a very questionable qualifier. 'Only' is the title's difficult word. "Only Good Architecture in Iowa" suggests that architecture is a scarce commodity in Iowa, a suggestion with which Naegele would agree if by "architecture" one means high architecture.By 'Architecture', however, Naegele means "good building," regardless of whether or not that which is built was designed by an architect or whether, in fact, it is a habitable structure or even a building at all. Most entries in this guide are concerned either with vernacular works that are habitable tools-barns, corncribs, ventilator machines, silos-or with built works that are not really buildings at all: billboards, bridges, murals, graveyards, landscapes, wind turbines and water towers. 'Only' brings irony to the title, rendering questionable the assumption it asserts and initiating debate within an otherwise matter-of-fact description. Its inclusion in the title predicts the book's mildly contentious, but always utterly practical, nature.

Book excerpt: Who were Iowa's historic architects? In this extensively researched dictionary. Wesley Shank answers that question by providing biographies of more than two hundred architects who practiced in Iowa before 1950 and who maintained an office in the state for at least part of their careers. For each architect Shank has gathered as much personal and professional information as possible; dates and places of birth and death; parents, spouses, and children; education and professional training; personality and competency; when and where they practiced, with whom, and when their partnerships began and ended; what roles they played in their communities and their profession; and the representative buildings they designed. As a reflection of both national and state history Iowa's Historic Architects will be valuable to professionals in the fields of architecture. American history, and historic preservation as well as to general readers.
