Author Description

"This monograph on the architecture of Ralph Allen explores much of his work, through his use of concrete, masonry, or simple wood frame design. His unique perspective of form and proportion is documented in color, alongside the classic black and white photography of award-winning architectural photographer Julius Shulman (who also wrote the Forward.) Allen's architecture is noted for its strong presence, its play of shade and shadow, and its integration with the site. Many of his works literally become part of the landscape."--Dust jacket inside flap
