About This Item
Salt Lake City: Gibbs Smith, 2007. Softcover. Published Salt Lake City: Gibbs Smith, 2007. 4to. wrappers with French flaps, 9" x 10" , 160pp., lavishly illustrated with color and b/w photos. "Wayne McAllister was an iconoclast, a designer with no formal architectural training who changed the fabric of cities, a quiet conservative who created some of the most outlandish and sometimes garish spaces in North America. His works are defined by the monumental roadside sign at the edge of the highway, the rambling, relaxing scale of everything-a leisurely freedom of space spread over vast acreage, with rolling lawns, open patios, winding paths and miles and miles of neon beckoning to the automobile." Fine. . Soft Cover. Fine/No Jacket, As Issued. 4to.
