Project Gutenberg 2005-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 142 Various Verschillende Various, Various The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 01, No. 03, January, 1858 A Magazine of Literature, Art, and Politics Produced by Joshua Hutchinson, Robert Prince and Distributed Proofreaders "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 01, No. 03, January, 1858" is a literary magazine produced by various authors and contributors during the mid-19th century. This edition features a variety of writings, including essays and fiction, reflecting the prevailing thoughts and cultural discussions of the time. One of the key topics explored in this volume is the critique of domestic architecture in America, highlighting both the freedom and pitfalls of house-building practices in the U.S. and contrasting them with European traditions. The opening portion of the magazine begins with an essay discussing "Notes on Domestic Architecture," wherein the author critiques the lack of aesthetic and practical standards in American house design. The commentary reveals that while Americans have the liberty to build freely without binding traditions, this has often led to unsatisfactory results, with homes built for appearance rather than functionality. It describes a society where architectural pretension often eclipses genuine taste and quality. The author suggests that true architecture should harmonize with its environment and purpose, emphasizing that buildings should serve as lasting homes rather than transient displays of novel styles. The text also intricately weaves in themes of identity, culture, and societal norms as they pertain to the construction of domestic spaces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
