Throughout the twentieth century the United States provided remarkably fertile ground for innovative residential architecture, from the Shingle Style pioneered on the East Coast in the late nineteenth century to the deconstructivist experiments in California today.
Twenty-one masterpieces of American twentieth-century residential architecture are presented in this lavishly illustrated volume, a condensed edition of the bestselling book of the same name. Extraordinary color photographs are accompanied by text that explores each house in depth and discusses its place in the progression of American architecture, its role in the architect’s oeuvre, and its broader relationship to the history of twentieth-century American cultural and artistic movements.
