Pine cloth, blue and color illus. dust jacket, 256 pp., many color illus. and BW drawings. Showcases select work of this California architectural firm. "Altoon + Porter treats context as an approach to the entire set of design problems. Rather than concerning itself with self-referential issues of style, Altoon _ Porter searches for the best possible relationship among buildings, people, and urban surroundings, from the point of view of human experience. For readers, especially those previously unaware of the technical and geographic range of the firm, this book documents the results of a fruitful search." (dj) Highly illustrated, as you may imagine. This copy appears to be WARMLY INSCRIBED BY RONALD ALTOON on the title page.
