"BETWEEN DEVOTION AND DESIGN pays tribute to the life and work of John Cyril Hawes, whose remarkable architectural works can be seen around the globe, from the sedate south of England, to the hurricane-torn Caribbean, to the dry rugged Mid-West of Western Australia. Hawes trained as both an architect and a priest, and it was the union of these two vocations that influenced his work. Sensitive to the elements of the environment and the different cultures he worked within, he developed an idiosyncratic and imaginative style. [...] Extensively illustrated with reproductions of Hawes' designs, buildings, paintings and sketches, Between Devotion and Design will inspire general readers, architects and scholars alike."
