“Mike Welton is a natural writer. The craft of his language is equal to the craft of the buildings and artifacts he writes about. He is the Vasari of the contemporary scene. I read Architects + Artisans as much for the beauty of his prose as I do for the cool things he writes about. He’s the real thing. Mike discovers in each window, each bench and each type of building a unique expression of architecture.” — Frank Harmon, FAIA, Principal, Frank Harmon Architect, Author: “Native Places: Drawing as a Way to See,” Raleigh, N.C.
