“Just as a composition of music has the potential to be spectacular, every house possesses the potential to be a real home. But the stakes are high. Architecture itself is a uniquely latent art form. There is a risk that success is not always guaranteed, that human experience may or may not be enriched by the walls that enclose it or the built environment that surrounds it.”
Introduction by Sam Lubell
Essays by Anthony Laney & Mebra Kisaka
