Meer over het boek

Seeking to reveal the cutting edge of the architecture scene in the USA, this text brings together examples of recent American housing and examines the meanings and origins of the abstract forms which have become prevalent. The book features over 20 houses by such architects as Frank O. Gehry, Frank Israel, Michael Graves, Richard Meier and Steven Holl, as well as less well known, up-and-coming architects. Each description is accompanied by photographs, drawings and floorplans.
