Very fine. - First edition. ?The discovery and recording of the ?vernacular? architecture of the Americas was a unique adventure. There were no guide books. Sibyl Moholy-Nagy?s search involved some 15,000 miles of travel between the St. Lawrence River and the Antilles by every conceivable means of transportation. Here in this handsome volume, illustrated with 105photographs and 21 drawings, are some of the amazing examples of architecture?from 1600 on?to be found in the Americas. Everybody concerned with today?s problems of shelter will be fascinated by the masterly solutions of these natural architects who settled away from the big cities in search of a happier, freer, more humane existence.?
