There, Ken struggled to keep up with the hard-edged modernism being taught in school and longed to design beautiful houses with soul. His quest led him on to Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama, where he found what he was looking for in two creative professors, Jim Jones and Lewis Lanter, who mentored him. That tutelage led him to write his architectural thesis, "Architecture in Search of a Soul".

Following graduation from Auburn, Ken journeyed to work for eccentric talent Bruce Goff in Texas and afterwards for Sambo Mockbee in Jackson, Mississippi. He established his own firm, Ken Tate Architect, in 1984 in Jackson, Mississippi, which began a lifelong career of designing houses in an alchemical way where an inner essence was breathed into them.

Full of rich detail and texture, the book follows Ken’s 35-year career from Jackson to New Orleans and on to Palm Beach where the firm has opened their second office. Covering his approach to design, how architecture relates to cinema and photography, advice, reflections, and even epiphanies, the book is a must-listen for any fan of the profession. 0aArchitectural photographyzFrancevExhibitions. 7aArchitectural photography.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00813301 7aExhibition catalogs.2fast0http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1424028 7aExhibition catalogs.2lcgft1 aRichardson, Vicky,d1968-einterviewer.
