About this product
Product Information
A generous look at the San Francisco Bay Area architects pioneering approach to sustainable houses, ranging from the vineyard regions of California to Telluride, Colorado; the rugged ranch lands of Montana and the picturesque hamlets of the Hudson Valley and Martha s Vineyard. Since its formation in 1981, Fernau + Hartman has become rewned for its imaginative expansion of the possibilities of site- and region-specific architecture. Leaders in these concepts, as well as in sustainable design long before its currency today, Fernau + Hartman s houses maximize the connection between the natural and built environments, intensify the experience of place, and invite an open, playful, and inventive approach to life. A Newport Beach weekend house has flexible sleeping quarters and almost everything else (spaces for cooking, eating, showering, and bathing) is outdoors; a house made of alternating indoor and outdoor rooms climbs up a Soma County hillside; and an island house inspired by the fishing village of Menemsha is composed as three independent gabled sheds docked at a central screened porch featuring a fireplace and dining table. With essays by Beth Dunlop, Laura Hartman, Thomas Fisher, and Daniel P. Gregory, Improvisations on the Land creates a multifaceted portrait of the firm s history, philosophy, and practice revealing as much about their process as the finished houses themselves. Models, axometric drawings, floor and site plans, elevations, and photographs of vernacular structures from a collapsed barn in Montana, to Colorado mining compounds and a louvered colonnade in the Sacramento River Delta contribute to a full appreciation of Fernau + Hartman s work, how its sense of spontaneity and joy provides the antidote to so much of the self-conscious architecture that surrounds us, and results in houses that push the possibilities of residential design today.
