This remarkable new book celebrates village architecture in four Mediterranean regions the hilltowns of central Italy, the Aegean islands of Greece, the Dalmatian coast, and the Andalulsian region of southern Spain. It showcases a collection of drawings, photographs, paintings and maps presented in a cohesive and holistic manner. Steven and Cathi House have been able to capture the essence of Mediterranean architecture, which is a significant achievement. Their drawings and photographs trigger memories for those who have travelled the Mediterranean and offer insight for those who have not. Mediterranean Villages: An Architectural Journey is a handsome, meaningful record and a thoughtful interpretation of a classic theme.
