Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. 'Rosemary Beach is far closer to the casbah in Tunis or the French Quarter of New Orleans than to an American suburb. And in this regard, from an American perspective, itis new and urban in a profound way. '--from the prefaceDesigned by planning pioneers Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberkothe same husband-and-wife teamwho rose to prominence for their design of SeasideoRosemary Beach is a decidedly different community. Whereas Seaside evokes small-town America, Rosemary Beach evokes the ambiance of a preindustrial city, featuring a more urban landscape than previous New Urbanism developments. Three concepts are integral to the design of Rosemary Beach homes. First, the incorporation of the European Colonial architecture of the West Indies, New Orleans, and St. Augustine, ideal for tropical climates, became the prototypical house design, including facade-length porches, large windows and doorways, and steep roofs. This design also mandates that the structure be raised on a masonry base so that the main living level is sufficiently elevated to catch the ocean breeze. Second, the building of a wooden frame above a masonry base, providing an enclosure for off-street parking as well as a guest unit, is an ingenious design that also makes the houses more private and secure. Rosemary Beach incorporates additional architecture and city planning designs from around the world: the pocket parks evoke medieval Prague with their angular intersections balanced by small open spaces; the parapet wall on the community swimming pool exudes the designs of Morocco and Spain; the boardwalk was inspired by Rockport, Maine; and the town hall proclaims a Dutch Colonial influence. Third, it was decided that cars should not be a dominant part of the Rosemary Beach streetscape, as they are in Seaside. This aesthetic evolved into the creation of alleyways interspersedbetween the major streets, providing vehicular access to the rear of the houses. Book has some shelf wear at bottom edge. Otherwise book is bright, clean, and crisp. Binding feels great.
