Описание: Thomas D. Wilson’s Charleston and Savannah is the first comprehensive history of Charleston and Savannah in a single volume that weaves together the influences and parallels of their intrinsic stories. As two of the earliest English-speaking cities founded in America, Charleston and Savannah are among the nation’s top historic sites. Their historic characters, which attract millions of visitors each year, are each a rich blend of cultural, environmental, and socioeconomic elements. Yet even with this popularity, both cities now face a challenge in preserving their authentic historic character, natural beauty, and environmental quality. Wilson charts the ebb and flow of the progress and development of the cities using various through lines running within each chapter, constructing an overall character assessment of each.
Wilson charts the economic rise of these port cities, beginning with their British foundations and transatlantic trade in the colonies through to their twentieth-century economic declines and resurgences. He examines the cultural and economic aspects of their Lowcountry landscapes and their evolution as progress and industrialization made their mark. Employing both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in his comparisons of the two cities, he considers their histories, natural landscapes, weather patterns, economies, demographics, culture, architecture, city planning, and infrastructure. While each has its own civic and cultural strengths and weaknesses, both are positioned as historically significant southern cities, even as they assess aspects of their problematic pasts.

Описание: Throughout his fifty-year career as a landscape architect, A. E. Bye (1919–2001) approached his work with the sensibility of an artist and the precision of a scientist. He designed landscapes to intensify their intrinsic qualities, using abstract forms that defined relationships among natural elements to explore the dynamic processes underlying each site. He has been described as a landscape architect “whose public and private garden designs strove for a naturalism so artful [it seemed] he knew how to make the snow fall where he wanted.” Bye was prolific, designing more than five hundred projects between the late 1940s and his death. His early training with the National Park Service gave him experience in park analysis and planning; his first professional work focused on landscapes for schools. He would go on to design over one hundred of these, as well as several master plans for college and university campuses. Bye’s background in park and campus planning served him well in the 1950s, when a new project type?the corporate campus?began to emerge. By the early 1970s, he had created campuses for Avon, Chrysler, Westinghouse, and Dow Corning in suburban New York and New Jersey communities. A dedicated teacher and mentor, Bye communicated his artistic vision and intellectual passion to generations of students, colleagues, and clients. In his original explorations of landform as art, his celebration of the garden as a place for reflection, and his effort to achieve an ecological balance in his work, Bye forged a unique vision of modernist landscape architecture.
