John Portman

Rate this book
An architect who designs for himself plans and constructs a house designed to physically embody his own vision of life and, at the same time, architecture. This is the real meaning behind Entelechy II, the beach house on Sea Island, Georgia, that John Portman has created for both himself and his family. This book traces an architectural adventure which has been-and still is-a spiritual journey.

I need more of these books detailing projects from other important contemporary architects, please. Even though this book was published 32 years ago, the content is still relevant.
