Description: "Alabama Architecture is an illustrated book that interprets the state's rich architectural landscape in a fresh manner that appeals to general readers as well as design professionals. With the use of spare, engaging text, careful building documentation, and artful photography, Alice Bowsher and Lewis Kennedy focus the reader's eye and understanding on the variety of ways ideas come to life in the hands of architects and builders.". "With more than 150 original, full-color images, the book is organized into chapters devoted to basic design elements: place, form, space, balance, materials, light, movement, proportion, context, and delight. Featured are 100 Alabama sites from all regions of the state, dating from the antebellum period to the present day, both grand and modest."--BOOK JACKET.
