California Crazy. American Pop Architecture. 45th Ed. - - książka
Producent: Taschen
At the beginning of the automobile era, Americans' desire for travel inspired a new breed of innovative entrepreneurs to support this emerging form of mobility. In the 1920s, eye-catching structures emerged along roadsides, enticing motorists to stop for snacks, supplies, keepsakes, or a brief meal. Despite being labeled as "monstrosities" by the architectural critics of the time, these unique buildings thrived, especially throughout America's Sunbelt and notably in Southern California. Here, business owners freely expressed their creativity with larger-than-life, quirky designs that included owls, dolls, pigs, ships, coffee pots, and fruit. Though their purpose was straightforward, these structures were initially overlooked by history. However, in the last 40 years, California's architectural oddities have regained their respect and are now celebrated in the updated collection, "California Crazy."
