Pattern Books: Printed Precedents in American Architecture
Books, serial publications, and advertisements play an outsize role in the transmission of architectural ideas and innovations in America. Since the first Georgian-inspired houses of the 18th century appeared in colonial settlements, Americans have been using printed sources. Often grafted onto deeper traditional building practice and locally available materials, the result is a creative and distinct architecture that influenced housing, civic buildings, and religious buildings up to the Second World War. Join us as noted architectural historian and teacher Janet W. Foster explores the role of pattern books, particularly in New Jersey’s buildings.
