Summary:
This book considers the contemporary house through close scrutiny of works designed by Ian MacDonald, and the ideas that are embedded within them. The architect explores boundary and illusion, and considers site and sightings in both the city and countryside to create houses that appear, disappear, and re-appear. Energetic explorations of land and considerations of weather provide the basis for MacDonald's designs of residential spaces that capture particular views, establish sequences of movement, and make inspiring places to live in nature.

Summary:
The second in a series of publications on mid-century architecture in the Buffalo Books series, this book commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery extension, a black modernist box, designed by Gordon Bunshaft, set adjacent to the original Neoclassical gallery. Bunshaft’s ideas were progressive in the post-war era and anticipated transformations finally emerging today. He once said “…the building industry, as a whole, not just the architectural aspects of it, is a slow moving device…but eventually we will have pre-fabricated, light constructed, rapidly constructed, clean buildings.”
