"This is the story of one of Florida's premier architects, whose elegant homes and design aesthetic shaped the architectural character of Winter Park and influenced urban development throughout central Florida." "James Gamble Rogers II (1901-1990) created homes known for their human scale and proportion and for their suitability to the environment. Highlighting twelve residences designed for Winter Park, the beautiful town adjacent to Orlando and the headquarters of the Rogers family architecture firm, coauthors Patrick and Debra McClane show how Rogers developed a style that ingeniously met the special needs of Florida's climate." "The McClanes also present an entertaining biography of Rogers, with information on his schooling, a history of the firm he founded, and his familial connections with the architectural profession. They describe his success in the areas of governmental, military, and university architecture, including his designs for buildings at Rollins College in Winter Park, and evaluate his impact on twentieth-century architecture."--BOOK JACKET.
