Constructions : buildings in Arizona

By Alfred Newman Beadle. Tempe, Ariz: Gallery of Design, College of Architecture and Environmental Design, Arizona State University, 1993.

Constructions: buildings in Arizona is the accompanying catalogue to the one and only exhibition of Alfred Newman Beadle V’s architectural work, mounted by Arizona State University in 1993. Interestingly, due to persistent demand, Gnosis, Ltd. has published a second edition, generously illustrated with 31 black-and-white photos and 25 drawings that includes a new foreword by ASU Professor Emeritus and architectural historian Bernard Michael Boyle. The Cooper Hewitt edition is the original catalogue.

Beginning his architectural career in 1951, Alfred Newman Beadle V (1927-1998) designed and built a wide range of projects, mostly in and around Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to dozens of residences, he was responsible for numerous banks, hotels, restaurants, and apartment buildings, from a modest three-unit complex to a 22-story tower, the largest residential building in Phoenix at the time. Although Beadle won many awards and his buildings were published nationally and internationally, he is probably best remembered for his residential projects, known fondly as “Beadle Boxes,” many of which are pictured in the catalogue. These remain highly prized by homeowners.
