Albert Frey, architect

Description:

"Albert Frey, Architect, a heavily illustrated study of his life and practice, was compiled by author Joseph Rosa after extensive archival research and interviews with Frey and many of his colleagues. In addition to providing biographical detail and descriptive analysis of his work, this volume also contains an annotated list of structures designed by Frey, a bibliography of writings on and by Frey, and reprints of letters between Frey and Le Corbusier. Featured projects include the Raymond Loewy House, Palm Springs City Hall, North Shore Yacht Club, and Frey's own Houses I and II. Numerous duotone photographs, many taken by Julius Shulman, as well as plans and sketches are also included. An introduction by David Gebhard discusses Frey's relevance within the modern movement and the connection to nature and to historical precedent in his designs."--BOOK JACKET.
