A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

The American West abounds with romance. It is a mythical place filled with lore and passion and history. It is a place of dreams. As the region welcomed humanity we developed shelters that both suited our needs and our technological abilities. Replete with the rugged, weather torn cabins of settlers from ages long ago such homes dot the countryside and are there for the visual enjoyment for all those wishing to feel the meaning of the West. Today the same small log cabins from years past have spoken deeply to us and are influencing our approach to the modern homes of today. The function of this book is to explore the romance of ever evolving Western architecture. With its many nuances the modern homes of the West have enculturated the passions of the region and have incorporated both the aesthetics and the history of the region. The homes in this book are examples of how the rugged environment of the west has influenced modern architecture
