"Home is where the heart is, and when applied to architects the proverb rings especially true. As the basic building block of the human environment, the house has served as an inexhaustible playground for architects to experiment with theories, styles, forms and materials. This detailed history of the modern house examines the major paradigm shifts in international domestic design over the past century as it highlights over one hundred of these fantastic, unusual homes.".

"Illustrated with 400 photographs and architectural drawings, Twentieth-Century Residential Architecture is an essential resource, not only for architects and designers, but for anyone engaged by these landmark houses."--BOOK JACKET.
