Description
Now available in paperback, this book gives a detailed, comprehensive treatment of the history of the modern house, covering all the key examples together with many others that are less well-known but equally important.
It is organized semi-chronologically around major themes: the house as a work of art; the modern house; machines for living in; place, climate and culture; the American dream; Scandinavian modernism; the post-modern dwelling and the continuity and transformation of contemporary house architecture. Through these themes the author tells the story of innovative domestic architecture from the Arts and Crafts period in the late nineteenth century up to the present.
