ArchitectureWeek Description This new edition focuses on the 19th-century beginnings of the San Francisco Bay Area shingle style and Arts & Crafts collaboration in the trend toward building simple rustic homes in harmony with nature. The book explores how a small, influential group, including Joseph Worcester, Bernard Maybeck, and Charles Keeler, transformed a devotion to John Ruskin and California's natural beauty into a unique architectural movement.
