THE leading article in this issue is by Sir Lawrence Weaver on the subject of “The Architect and Industrial Design. ” At a time when the efforts of the A. I. A. are being lent to further co-operation amongst the arts and crafts, this article will be sure to have unusual interest and value. As previously
announced, the leading article in the October 5th issue will be by Frank J. Foster and the subject will be Stone and Brick Work. Mr. Foster recently returned from a trip through Normandy and brought home with him many interesting photographs of details of French farm houses. Perhaps a dozen of these photographs will be used as illustrations to his article.
We are being continually requested to publish more good small
houses. The American Architect is taking the lead in striving to impress upon prospective home owners that the design of any house, no matter how small, is a problem which is worthy of architectural service. In this issue, under the department of Interior Architecture, is illustrated a small house in North Carolina which we feel is a successful solution of a problem in domestic architecture. We would be only too glad to have architects forward to us any small houses which they have designed and which they feel possess unusual architectural value.
Gilmore D. Clark, landscape architect to the Westchester County Park Commission, is preparing an article for us on the development and design of “Playland” — an unusual shore resort at Rye, N. Y. The entire project was laid out under the supervision of the Westchester County Park Commission and the architectural features were designed by Walker & Gillette. This article, which will be very fully illustrated with general views and details, will
be sure to have a very great interest to many readers of The American Architect. September 20th, 1928.
