COVER
 The North Tower of the Royal Palm Plaza Building, Boca Raton, Florida, by
 Robert E. Roll, A.I.A., Boca Raton, Florida. A part of a regional shopping
 center under development by Archer Investment Company, Inc. The quasi
 Spanish motif has been recreated throughout the complex in an effort to effect
 a homogeneous relationship with the familiar, adjacent Boca Raton Hotel and
 Club. Although basically a contemporary architect, Roll found this challenge
 as programmed by the client a rewarding experience and has succeeded in
 recreating a part of Spain in what promises to be one of the few shopping
 centers devoted to relating the architecture to the visual enjoyment of the
 shoppers. Lavish landscaping, broad vistas and lawns complete with statuary
 and fountains make shopping an aesthetic sojourn.
