Architect Richard S. Requa traveled Spain and the Mediterannean,
documenting authentic architecture. Together with The Monolith
Portland Cement Co., Requa published his portfolio of images in
1926, helping to fuel architecture's Spanish Revival movement
(1915-1940) throughout the Pacific Coast and Florida. His images
were "selected and arranged especially for use in developing a
logical and appropriate style of architecture for California and
the Pacific Southwest," and they had a profound influence as they
were widely distributed to design professionals as well as schools
and libraries. Besides providing a wealth of inspiration regarding
overall architecture, the nearly 200 images also provide intimate
detailing of balconies, doors, hardware, and architectural motifs,
and serve as a wonderful resource for historians and restoration
experts. Because Spanish Revival is enjoying a resurgence in
popularity, the timing of this inspirational re-issue will aid,
once again, in focusing on the native roots of the widely loved
school of architecture.
