Description

A long-overdue book documenting a state with a growing population, this richly illustrated choice of homes displays the work of 34 Texas architects whose buildings embrace their region and place. These award-winning residences vary in style, scale, budget, and web page, but they’re all situated to incorporate the Texas light, landscape, and local materials. More essential, they’re designed and constructed to take care of the prospect of climate change, including Texas-size hurricanes, tornadoes, heat, and drought. Readers will appreciate the regional rigor of these buildings sited at the Hill Country’s arid escarpments, deep within the piney woods of East Texas, and within the insufferable heat of the southern coastal plain. Being Texas proud means being place proud, yet the entire projects showcase principles which can be surprisingly universal.
