Library Journal

January 15, 2010
Shaker architecture has been well documented in books like Paul Rocheleau and June Sprigg's "Shaker Built". What Plummer (architecture, Univ. of Illinois) brings to the subject is a focus on natural light. The author of a number of books on light and architecture (e.g., "Light in Japanese Architecture; The Architecture of Natural Light"), Plummer posits the theory that the Shakers found a spiritual dimension in natural light. The introductory essay makes the case for this idea, and the photographs that compose the bulk of the book provide compelling visual evidence. Brief passages accompanying the photographs spotlight the site planning, building practices, and material choices that create light effects in Shaker buildings. VERDICT These luminous photographs of light-splashed rooms and sun-washed buildings will appeal to a wide audience. The premise that natural light meant something more to the Shakers than a necessary source of illumination will resonate with those interested in a deeper understanding of their architecture.Amy Trendler, Ball State Univ.
