His magazine, \u003ci\u003e The Craftsman, \u003c\/i\u003e was a major forum for the movement's ideas and concepts ― ideas which today are enjoying a renaissance in the design community. \u003cbr\u003eThe present publication features 36 articles that appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Craftsman \u003c\/i\u003ebetween 1903 and 1916. Included are graphic descriptions of 59 \"bungalows\" (Most of which were actually spacious, year-round homes), floor plans for 35 dwellings, and many sketches or photographs of houses in landscaped settings. \u003ci\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eCharacterized by its functional simplicity and integrated with the outdoor environment, the Craftsman home was typically composed of locally obtainable materials. A few of the most modest homes ― according to the magazine ― could even be constructed by persons with a minimum of masonry and carpentry experience. Interiors reflected the simple lines of the exteriors and generally included an ample fireplace (often of fieldstone construction), fireside benches, built-in bookcases and sideboards, plus walls, floors, and ceiling beams decorated ― preferably ― in colors that would harmonize with the structure's natural surroundings. \u003cbr\u003eThis inexpensive volume of selected \u003ci\u003eCraftsman\u003c\/i\u003e articles provides collectors of Americana with a fascinating glimpse of an influential and thoroughly American style of architectural design and construction. \u003ci\u003eCraftsman Bungalows\u003c\/i\u003e will be welcomed as a primary source of information and ideas by architects, students, and historians of architecture, preservationists, restorers ― anyone interested in the Arts and Crafts movement in America. \u003cbr\u003eDover (1988) republication of 36 articles from\u003ci\u003e The Craftsman\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, 1903-1916.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486258294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.95h x 8.43w x 0.44d","brand":"Gustav Stickley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38606625112245,"sku":"9780486258294","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_92bc8743-f629-48d2-93da-0e48b0c7d29d.jpg?v=1614085659","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/craftsman-bungalows-59-homes-from-the-craftsman-9780486258294","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
