The Tennessee Valley Authority: Design and Persuasion-a unique collection of essays by experts in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, graphic design, industrial design, and fine arts, and including new photography by Richard Barnes and an afterword by former Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr., specially examines the design work of the agency. The extraordinary elegance and power of the artificial landscape brought by the TVA's designs captured the imagination of everyone who saw them. They not only promised social and economic renewal but also shaped the nascent American design culture that would come to define twentieth-century architecture and design.
Tim Culvahouse, FAIA, is an architect specializing in the public communication of design ideas. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Tulane School of Architecture (1979) and a Master of Environmental Design from Yale (1986), where his thesis explored materiality and architectural criticism. He received his initial architectural license in New York in 1984 and is currently a registered architect in California.
His articles have appeared in a wide range of journals, including ANY, ArtPapers, Harvard Design Magazine, Modulus, Perspecta, Residential Architect, and World Architecture. Since 2000, he has served as editor of arcCA(Architecture California), the quarterly journal of the AIA California Council.
Additional information about the editor, Tim Culvahouse, and photographer, Richard Barnes, can be found by visiting their websites.
The only public exhibit to date of the Barnes photographs in the book was organized by the Tennessee Architecture Foundation, whose mission is to broaden public understanding and scholarship of the built environment and sustainable design in this region.
