ArchitectureWeek Description In the early 20th-century, architects designing houses for the balmy climate of Southern California were influenced by the style of the villas of Italy, Morocco, and other countries fronting the Mediterranean Sea. The resulting style — noted for its simplicity and often asymmetrical, undecorated facades — merged the European romantic with American ingenuity. This book includes examples by Julia Morgan, Bertram Goodhue, Addison Mizner, George Washington Smith, and Wallace Neff. Amazon Customer Average Rating:
