Biography
Kevin Adams is a Teaching Fellow at the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA), a practising architect and the founding principal of kalm architecture.
"Adams’ book represents an informed dissection of a fundamental architectural element…….The selected case studies provide a well-rounded view, marrying genuine variety with a highly personalised view. Thus, Great Windows in Modern Architecture not only presents ‘great’ windows with considered commentary but also offers meditations on the role of apertures within a wider tectonic vocabulary."
James Haynes, Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland Magazine
