Southern Built:
American Architecture, Regional Practice
by Catherine W. Bishir
Winner of the 2008 Antoinette Forrester Downing Book Award from the Society of Architectural Historians
The essays collected in this volume represent three decades in the career of Catherine Bishir, a leader in the fields of both regional architectural history and historic preservation. Just as the subjects of her studies are at once regional and national, the essays included here think globally while reaching locally.
“Ms. Bishir has written or coauthored the most important works on North Carolina’s architecture. This volume equals those in terms of its quality. . . . These essays represent the kind of interdisciplinary work that characterizes the best of modern architectural history.” —Claire W. Dempsey, Boston University
