ArchitectureWeek Description Arkansas architect Marlon Blackwell is a described as a "radical ruralist," offering a new architectural language that celebrates the vernacular and transgresses the boundaries of the conventional. This book describes his widely acclaimed houses and institutional buildings in the Ozark Mountains, which he describes as "an environment of real natural beauty and, simultaneously, one of real constructed ugliness." His works seek to change that second characterization. Amazon Customer Average Rating:  Some Related Books...
