Publisher's Synopsis
The definitive monograph on the ideas and work of the Canadian-born, Florence-trained, Ibiza-based architect. The fusion of Ibizan traditions with modern function, form, and taste is the hallmark of Blackstad's projects, which were dedicated to conserving the cultural significance of the island within today's architecture. Rolph Blackstad exhaustively studied Ibizan architecture when it was still a living millennial tradition, with peasant builders workng with rules passed down by word of mouth from father to son. This book is a tribute to Blackstad's work in the wake of his recent death.
