The New South, too, is fast on its way to evolving its own concept of modern comfort. Last week the American Institute of Architects, announcing the winners of a competition that drew 135 entries from the ten Gulf and Southeast Atlantic states, found that the New South still cherishes its breezeways, highceilinged rooms, and a taste...
