Designed for today's tastes by an architectural designer and, obviously engi­ neered by engineers. Under the sleek lines there are built-in answers to today's concerns: longer, carefree wear; higher energy efficiency, easier maintenance, more versatility, and all at reasonable cost. There is no visible gear box on the operating mecha­ nism. There are no visible hinges, inside or out. There arc no screws, rivets, miter laps or finger joints in any of the exposed clear white pine. The frame and sash are slim­ mer, creating a lighter look, and the exterior is made of extruded tubular aluminum for unmatched strength. ARIEL's modular concept allows you the freedom to design countless window variations ... bay and bow windows, sloping heads, even trapezoid shapes. Available in Nature Brown or Colonial White exterior finishes, with spring-held gray fiberglass mesh screens, ARIEL will give you a whole new outlook on windows. It all stacks up.

Language: Collection material is in English Biographical/Historical Note Philip Johnson is one of the most prominent and outspoken architects of the post-World War II era. During his long career from the 1940s until the present, Johnson has been a major participant in the architectural debate of his time and has contributed to all major architectural movements during those years. He started as a follower of Mies van der Rohe's most austere modernism, broke with this trend to design in a more "humane" modernistic vocabulary, and was one of the leaders of postmodernism during the 1980s.

    A LIFE IN CONTEXT: FINDING FORM IN LEWIS T. MAY by NATALIE A. STACKABLE Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2006 Copyright © by Natalie A. Stackable 2006 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lewis T. May so thoughtfully provided his time, project materials and insights which have enabled the creation of this thesis. I would also like to thank Ken Bailey, his studio manager for working with me to schedule visits and interviews and ensuring that I received the necessary information to complete this thesis. I also need to thank his associates who gave of their time: Nancy Fleshman, Verrick Walker, Sandy Lynch, Richard Rome, Van Cox, and M. David Low. Without these folks, it would not have been possible to obtain a full and complete understanding of the many roles and contributions May has made to the field. Additionally, I would like to thank my committee chair, Gary O. Robinette and the other committee members, Dr. Pat Taylor and David Hopman for having faith in my ability to complete the thesis while I resided three hundred miles away from their expertise and guidance. Last, but certainly not least, my husband, Phil, for encouraging me to remain focused and helping me overcome the obstacles I encountered during this process. This exegesis would not have been possible without his support and faith in allowing me to attend the MLA program at the University of Texas at Arlington while he remained back at the homestead in Houston.
