Book excerpt: "Seaside, Florida, is a town designed as an "ideal" community, where houses have front porches and verandaas, picket fences and sleeping porches; here, streets are made of pebbles and seashells. The Seaside Institute has authored Views of Seaside in collaboration with more than 30 leading architects, designers, theorists and planners, each of whom has contributed an essay here that personally explores the town's impact."--BOOK JACKET.
