American Urban Typologies: Key West, Florida (American urban typologies)

Summary: The complete guide to Key west Building types.
Review: If you are looking for an architectural guide that covers the unique built environment of a special place this is it. Key West, along with other seaport cities from Portland Maine to New Orleans offers us a unique chance to see how the cross reginal influence of architectural styles developed in 19th centuary America. Dealing only with housing and urban planning, we see how the influences of New England formality, Mid Atlantic practicality and southern climatic responses, along with Bahamian building types, create the unique and not so unique stew that is Key West. A must for vistors with a serious interest in architecture and the built environment. Plans, sections elevations, maps and rendered drawings (no pretty pictures just some useful photos to show context). Get it and enjoy your next walk around old town Key West as you never have before.
