Great American Hotel Architects : Volume 1 Hardback
by Stanley Turkel Cmhs
Hardback
Description
The twelve architects featured in this book designed ninety-four hotels from 1878 to 1948.
Many of them worked as apprentices in architect's offices.
Some were lucky enough to study in an architectural college, and some were wealthy enough to attend the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts) in Paris.
This school has a history of more than 350 years in training many of the great artists of Europe.
Beaux-Arts's style was modeled on classical antiquities.
The origins of the school were drawn from 1648-when the Academe des Beaux-Arts was founded to educate the most talented students in drawing, painting, sculpting, engraving, and architecture.
Women were admitted beginning in 1897.
