Description
The first comprehensive review of the architecture of Alden B. Dow, this book examines Dow’s singular approach to the design of private houses and public buildings. Dow produced buildings with carefully balanced contrasts of texture, color, geometry, and volume. Beginning in the 1930s, the early years of modern architecture, Dow used square concrete blocks of his own design, geometric patterns, and landscape materials to create designs that embody Picturesque principles.
