On Becoming an Architect - A Memoir (Hardcover)

A vivid memory and sharp focus on sensory detail--particularly
sights, sounds, emotions--enable Frank Welch to narrate the
extraordinary story of his life with great richness and insight.
From his boyhood in Sherman, Texas, through his education at Texas
A&M in the 1950s and his first professional ventures, Welch's
story is a remarkable memoir of how he became one of the
Southwest's most important architects.
Mentored by Harry Ransom, Welch and his fellow architecture
students, traveling in two-door sedans with "Property of Texas
A&M College" stenciled on the door panels, made pilgrimages
around the country to tour important architectural sites and meet
many of the nation's most prominent architects. Among them were
Frank Lloyd Wright, whom the group met in Arizona at Taleisin West.
In Chicago, Welch and his classmates met Mies van der Rohe. And on
the Pacific coast, Charles Eames gave the group breakfast at his
home on a bluff overlooking the ocean.
Welch's postgraduate years in Europe and his professional career
in Texas are beautifully rendered in a volume richly illustrated
with sketches, photographs, and floor plans of some of the most
intriguing architectural gems in the Southwest.
