Alfred Newman Beadle
Constructions:
Buildings in Arizona
Gnosis Book Release Event
November 23, 2008
Book Release Event: a second edition, revised, of Professor B. Michael Boyle's catalog which accompanied the 1993 ASU College of Architecture and Design's exhibit of Al Beadle's work.
Modernist architect Al Beadle (1927 - 1998), who created a new vocabulary for building on challenging sites in the harsh, arid landscape of the majestic Sonoran Desert, left a 40-year legacy in the Valley. Much of his built environment is undocumented and few resources referencing his work are available.
Originally published in 1993 in a very small edition, Constructions: Buildings in Arizona by Alfred Newman Beadle is a long out-of-print book still in demand, no doubt because awareness of the importance of his work in the history of modern building has spread from the narrower professional community to the wider public and is still growing.
