Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
A vivid memory and sharp focus on sensory detailÂparticularly sights, sounds, emotionsÂenable Frank Welch to narrate the extraordinary story of his life with great richness and insight. From his boyhood in Sherman, Texas, through his education at Texas A&M in the 1950s and his first professional ventures, Welchâs story is a remarkable memoir of how he became one of the Southwestâs most important architects.
Mentored by Harry Ransom, Welch and his fellow architecture students, traveling in two-door sedans with ÂProperty of Texas A&M Collegeâ stenciled on the door panels, made pilgrimages around the country to tour important architectural sites and meet many of the nationâs most prominent architects. Among them were Frank Lloyd Wright, whom the group met in Arizona at Taleisin West. In Chicago, Welch and his classmates met Mies van der Rohe. And on the Pacific coast, Charles Eames gave the group breakfast at his home on a bluff overlooking the ocean.
Welchâs postgraduate years in Europe and his professional career in Texas are beautifully rendered in a volume richly illustrated with sketches, photographs, and floor plans of some of the most intriguing architectural gems in the Southwest.
