Description

Here William S. B. Dana; B.S.; presents an in-depth and precise depiction of the breathtaking architectural masterpieces known as the Swiss Chalets. The culmination of elaborate conversations with the designers; the builders; and the experts on these spectacular buildings; here is a piece of design history that is not to be missed.A style of German origin; Swiss Chalets were best known for their large windows; ornate carvings; and balconies. Often they were brightly painted; and had gabled roofs with great overhanging eaves. These stunning aristocratic homes decorated the Swiss countryside in the nineteenth century; and later could be seen throughout the rest of the world. New Chalets; as they were called; rose up in Norway and Sweden; and finally even crossed the Atlantic; appearing in places as unexpected as Ohio and New Jersey.Through delicate language and lines; Dana expresses both the science and the art behind the simple structural elements and the most complex details of the chalets. This book; a 1913 original; displays diagrams; architectural plans; and photographs to best convey the different fundamentals and models of Swiss Chalets. The authorrsquo;s research of this beautiful art form cultivates knowledge and appreciation of this great architectural style.
