Description: Further DetailsTitle: Lake Flato HousesCondition: NewDescription: Lake Flato Architects of San Antonio, Texas, is nationally and internationally acclaimed for buildings that respond organically to the natural environment. The firm uses local materials and workmanship, as well as a deep knowledge of vernacular traditions, to design buildings that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible and authentic, artful and crafted. Lake Flato won the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture in 2013, and it has also received the American Institute of Architects’ highest honor, the National Firm Award. In all, Lake Flato has won more than 150 national and state design awards. Residential architecture has always been a priority for the firm, and Lake Flato Houses showcases an extensive selection of landmark homes built since 1999. Color photographs and architectural commentary create a memorable portrait of houses from Texas to Montana. Reflecting the firm’s emphasis on designing in harmony with the land, the houses are grouped by the habitats in which they’re rooted—brushland, desert, hillside, mountains, city, and water. These groupings reveal how Lake Flato works with the natural environment to create houses that merge into the landscape, blurring boundaries between inside and outside and accommodating the climate through both traditional and cutting-edge technologies. The sections are opened by noted architect and educator Frederick Steiner, who discusses Lake Flato’s unique responses to the forms and materials of the various landscapes. An introduction by journalist Guy Martin summarizes the history of Lake Flato and its philosophy, and explores the impact of its work on sustainable architecture.Author: Frederick SteinerContributor: Guy Martin (Introduction by)Country/Region of Manufacture: USEAN: 9780292758452Format: PaperbackGenre: Architecture & AntiquesISBN: 9780292758452ISBN-10: 0292758456Item Height: 216mmItem Length: 254mmItem Weight: 1275gItem Width: 25mmLanguage: EnglishPublisher: University of Texas PressRelease Date: 04/01/2014Subtitle: Embracing the LandscapeRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
