Summary:
One glimpse of the cascading steel beams mirrored in the reflecting pond and it's clear that the Hugo and Brigitte Eppich house is a singular achievement, a daring experiment that embodies Erickson's West Coast modernist ideas about site, material, and form. Erickson's first steel residence explores both the structural and aesthetic possibilities of the material, with curved beams, dyed cladding, and milled furnishings designed by Francisco Kripacz- features that would have been near-impossible on a regular commission. But after seeing the first Eppich House, built for Hugo's twin brother Helmut, Hugo entrusted Erickson with creating and furnishing the entire house, inside and out- another first for Erickson- and made available the Eppic brothers' steel fabricating plants, which built virtually every component of the home.

Summary:
Every aspect of Dickinson's life was large, from his height to his wife - a former model - from his ambition to his social and professional standing. England could not contain him. He needed a larger stage and that is what he found here. The architecture he set into motion was like him: big, fresh, and bold. It was not only modern, it had an audacious individualistic style that twisted and turned in new and magnificent ways. This is the first major book on the Canadian architect Peter Dickinson.
