ArchitectureWeek Description
Drawing on a diverse array of historical material -- photographs, guidebooks, postcards, and posters -- Fred Gray offers a fascinating account of the cultural and social symbolism of the seaside resort and its role in the modern landscape. He examines the design processes that went into creating the diverse buildings and spaces within a seaside resort, giving full attention to ephemeral structures such as pavilions and summer gift shops as well as the trademark hotel buildings, fairgrounds, and open spaces.

Also available — Selected Architecture Posters and Prints
