Five hundred houses--from all over the world and widely varied in terms of architecture, materials, style, design movement, and cultural tradition--are arranged in alphabetical order by architect (when an architect is known) or by dominant characteristic. Each house merits one large photo, a few paragraphs of description, and a cross-reference or two when appropriate. There's an edifying glossary of terms and styles at the end. Architects, aspiring architects, or house junkies of all ilks will find The House Book fascinating--and a reference necessity!
