Today I finished and submitted my final paper to ACSA Houston conference in a month. This paper is one of the four chapters of my dissertation – The Machine and the Craftsman in Modern American Architecture: Tournalayer Housing in the 1940s. Here is a link to the finished paper: http://www.greenboarstudio.com/uploads/2011-09-06_ACSA_Paper-Houston-EverettHenderson.pdf Earlier in this blog I uploaded the Abstract with reviewer’s comments. The one image I changed out from the original abstract was the experimental house: the Igloo as it was referred to in Vicksburg.
