For over 60 years, architect Phil Korell has created buildings of exceptional beauty and delight. Raised on a ranch outside Utica, Montana, and educated at the Univ of Washington in traditional methods of design, he learned to shape buildings in harmony with our distinctive Western landscapes and traditional Montana culture. The influence of Western landscape and culture infuses his designs with a deep, satisfying sense of authenticity. To help others who would like to create this authenticity in their own buildings, the book explains Phil's methods, uncovers many of his key design concepts, and provides examples of his most distinctive work. An Authentic Montana Voice is intended to help designers in different locations and cultures to assess their own conditions and then derive their own authentic ideas.
