Summary: American Houses
Review: Two former editors at Architecture have selected 21 recent houses that offer a promising vision, in their frugality or inventiveness, for the future of residential architecture. They are scattered around the United States-often in unfamiliar locations-Canada, and Mexico. There's no overarching message beyond Ho's lament that so few can afford a house like these, leaving the rest little beyond the retro offerings of home builders.
