Randolph Martz is a classical architect whose buildings have been mainly constructed in Charleston and elsewhere in South Carolina. His designs for buildings have also been constructed in the following states: Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina. This volume contains illustrations of most houses that have been constructed, but photographs were not available for some of them. His list of drawings includes approximately 500 projects designed from 1984 to the present, and approximately half of them are for completed buildings.
His degree in architecture was earned at Carnegie-Mellon University, where he also took courses in the history of architecture. He apprenticed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in Charleston, South Carolina. While completing his apprenticeship in Charleston, he worked as estimator from 1979-1984 for H. A. DcCosta Company, a contractor who specialized in restoration.
He has lived in Charleston since 1976, but he has also travelled in more than fifty countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas to enhance his knowledge of world architecture. At various times, he has spent a total of more than a year in Rome studying its ancient and Renaissance buildings.
The first volume devoted mainly to completed projects includes photographs, measured drawings, sketches made during travel and of historic details, a portfolio of early projects, essays, and a short story.
