Requests:  0 Summary:  "At the heart of California Romantica is the vision - and admitted obsession - of a committed preservationist who as a girl fell in love with the colonial-era and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of Southern California. In her introduction to the book, Diane Keaton puts it quite succinctly: "I knew I wanted to share the magic I'd felt within the aura created by the presence of Spanish architecture in Southern California ... I wanted to capture the romance of an empty room. I wanted to focus on details, a fountain, a staircase, a doorway. I wanted to highlight the genre's disjointed symmetry, and informal, abstract appeal. I wanted the drama of light to reveal secrets that lay hidden beyond the facades. I wanted 'old' and 'Spanish' to stop being code words for demolition. I wanted us to give renewed vitality, and even a refined Modernism, to the historic dream of living in a perfect California Spanish home." California Romantica is an expression of wonder and an ode to an extraordinary tradition in architecture marked by white-washed stucco and plaster walls, wrought iron, arches, towers, balconies, patios, terraces, window grills, tile work, stout doors; houses enveloped by and frequently cast in profound shadow and light; houses that are at once meditations on the past and also abiding evocations of a way of life that is so much of the present."--Inside front cover jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 728.37097 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 728.37097 Ke Checked In Add Copy to MyList
