American Barns and Covered Bridges
ISBN: 9780486425610 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When this book was first published in the mid-1950s, the author was concerned that such functional structures as the American barn and the covered bridge would soon give way to progress and be replaced by "modern" elements.

This lovingly written book, accompanied by more than 75 of the author's own sketches, provides a reliable record of those vanishing forms of architecture. Accurate line drawings depict a variety of barns, such as...
