The definitive monograph on the ideas and work of the Canadian-born
(of Norwegian ancestry), Florence-trained, Ibiza-based architect.
The fusion of Ibizan traditions with modern function, form, and
taste is the hallmark of Blackstad's projects, which were dedicated
to conserving the cultural significance of the island within
today's architecture. Rolph Blackstad exhaustively studied Ibizan
architecture when it was still a living millennial tradition, with
peasant builders working with rules passed down by word of mouth
from father to son. The architect's study of these builders formed
the basis of his research, design and building for more than 40
years. This book is a tribute to Blackstad's work in the wake of
his recent death. In it, the reader will discover an unbroken
tradition reaching back to distant origins; a design based on
historical Mediterranean architecture, combining style and building
techniques to suit contemporary lifestyles.
