Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Landmarks of the human spiritEmphasizes the importance of many Spanish Colonial sites and puts them in context with American History.Donald A. Crichlow, architectRedochre burial mounds, mysterious artifacts in ponds, giant circles carved in limestone, Spanish mission chapels, frontier houses of worship, gothic cathedrals, courthouses, post offices: eight thousand years of Floridians lives can be experienced through the states humanmade environment.A sweeping saga of Floridas built landscape from 6000 b.c. to the present, Heart and Soul of Florida begins with preColumbian archaeological sites. Architectural historian Elsbeth Gordon recreates the original atmosphere of many such ancient places. These burial and worship arrangements serve as printed watermarks of Native American traditions, grounding Floridas identity as time passes.Spanish Colonial architecture provides Florida with a second important layer of cultural history. This book is filled with accounts of remarkable architectural activity from this period: it tells the story of the Spanish mission of Nombre de Dios (15801793) and compares the Spanish Royal Ordinances of 1573 with the town plan of St. Augustine today. Photographs, drawings, and maps make these tales even more absorbing and tangible.Ending with Floridas exciting pioneering and dynamic entrepreneurial era, Floridas newest era, Gordon provides a muchneeded broad synthesis of Floridas rich architectural heritage. She expands the definition of sacred space by including preserved historic civic buildings, like the State Capitol, to fully examine the multitude of places that nurture the spirits of Floridas people.Gordon inspires the general and professional public to see Floridas built environment as a rich continuum of history and identity that shaped and continues to impact Floridas culturefrom the mundane to the transcendent. These humanizing places, many of which endure permanently in the landscape, represent an architecture of the soul.
