Description
Book SynopsisBreathtaking designs by one of the leading residential architects in the United States.
Trade Review"For anyone who’s ever marveled at the purity and austerity of homes designed by David Salmela, The Invisible Element of Place provides a fascinating look at the work of one of Minnesota’s premier architects." —Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine
"A wonderful coffee-table book for anyone who appreciates architecture—especially Salmela’s mastery of Midwestern vernacular." —Midwest Home
"The book creates a rich experience for the reader, evoking the close connections between residential architecture and other, seemingly unrelated disciplines. Architect readers will enjoy it for the poetry of Salmela’s buildings as well as the author’s intellectually omnivorous approach to covering them." —Residential Architect
