Description

Alden Dow (active 1930s-1970s) produced more than five hundred-often daringly modern-structures. This book traces his life and work as well as the intensely personal philosophy that governed everything he did: houses, churches, schools, business and civic structures, and even a new town in Texas. Dow changed the face of his hometown of Midland in Michigan, leaving more than one hundred buildings, including his Home and Studio, a US National Historic Landmark.
