Iowa Architect: Promoting The Noteworthy Design Of Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow, M. Monica Gillen

M. Monica Gillen

To create, fashion and construct is to design. Ideas begin in the mind and are brought out through various acts of creativity, including but not limited to drawings and writings. An underlying theme governs the process and the plan becomes the means for articulating its execution.
