"O'Neil Ford (1905-1982) was the most influential Texas architect of the twentieth century. In this book, David Dillon undertakes the first critical study of Ford's architecture in both its regional and national contexts, illuminated by glimpses into the life that shaped Ford's work.
In particular, Dillon explores Ford's links to the regional and eclectic movements of the 1920s and 1930s, his use of postwar technology and materials (lift-slab, prestressed concrete shells, new metals), and his influence on other architects in Texas and the Southwest."--BOOK JACKET.
"Extensively documented with plans, drawings, photographs, and sketches, this book offers a thoroughly researched, yet highly readable portrait of a larger-than-life master architect whose best work was clean, understated, pragmatic, quietly elegant, and timeless."--BOOK JACKET.
