Summary:
A visual feast of 500 iconic houses and traditional dwellings from all over the world. "The house book" presents a view of architects and designers responsible for some of the most diverse international houses through the ages. From Hadrian’s Villa to Palladio’s Villa Rotunda and Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye through to the contemporary houses of Richard Rogers and Frank Gehry, it features the widest range of both architect-designed and traditional dwellings. "The house book" presents 500 architects in A-Z order, offering an easily accessible and informative sourcebook for experts as well as readers coming to an architectural survey for the first time. Some of the houses are acknowledged for their role in architectural history, others will be iconic for the individual features or structure, but all are seminal forms of dwelling. The selection ranges from the palaces of kings to the individual huts of the Hutu, but the book illustrates that the essential qualities of the house or dwelling remain greatly unchanged over the centuries. Each architect or designer is represented by a full page reproduction mostly in colour of their most significant house and accompanying text that describes the image and its designer. Each page includes cross-references to other architects working in a similar style, movement or time period. The book also includes an easy-to-use glossary of architectural terms and movements and a directory of houses open to the public.
