Krátky popis
At the dawn of the automobile age, Americans’ predilection for
wanderlust prompted a new wave of inventive entrepreneursto cater
to this new mode of transportation. Starting in the 1920s,
attention-grabbing buildingsbegan to appear that would draw in
passing drivers for snacks, provisions, souvenirs, or a quick meal.
The architectural establishment of the day dismissed these roadside
buildings as “monstrosities”.Yet, they flourished, especially along
America’s Sunbelt, and in particular, in Southern California, as
proprietors indulged their creative impulsesin the form of giant,
eccentric constructions — from owls, dolls, pigs, and ships, to
coffee pots and fruit. Their symbolic intent was guileless, yet
they were marginalized by history. But, over the past 40 years,
California’s architectural anomalies have regained their integrity,
and are now being celebrated in this freshly revised compendium of
buildings, California Crazy.Brimming with thebest examples of this
architectural genre, California Crazyincludes essays exploring the
influences that fostered the nascent architectural movement, as
well as identifying the unconventional landscapes and attitudes
found on Los Angeles and Hollywood roadsideswhich allowed these
buildings to flourish in profusion.In addition, California
Crazyfeatures David Gebhard’s definitive essay, which defined this
vernacular movement almost forty years ago. The California
Crazyconcept is expanded to include domestic architecture,
eccentric signage, and the automobile as a fanciful object.
