"...the structure of G. E. Kidder Smith Builds, which traces his
career first through books and then with exhibitions, means the
book is more bibliographical than biographical... it illuminates
many aspects of his life not widely
known." — Archidose George Everard Kidder Smith
(1913–1997) was a multidimensional figure within the wide-ranging
field of North American architectural professionals in the second
half of the twentieth century. Although he trained as an architect,
he chose not to practice within the conventional strictures of an
architecture office. Instead, Kidder Smith “designed,”
researched, wrote, and photographed a remarkably diverse collection
of books about architecture and the built environment. His work and
life were deeply interwoven and punctuated by travel related to the
research, writing, and promotion of books that sought to reveal the
genius loci of the countries whose built environments he admired
and wished to share with a broader audience. From the early 1940s
to the late 1950s his interest in architecture led him to describe
visually the architectural and historical identity of many European
countries. After his far-flung travels over the decades, with his
wife Dorothea, Kidder Smith focused on his own country and produced
a series of ambitious books focused on the United States. Kidder
Smith’s vision and narrative betray the gaze of the traveller,
the scholar, and the architect.
