Summary: Complete scale drawings including sectional elevations
Review: Who would've thought this famous architect would be living in a converted concrete block warehouse? It is a complete but non-technical photo essay with the obligitory highbrow analysis. We don't know what the roof is made of, for example, or how the house was constructed, or where he got those steel casement windows. We do know he just saw a For Sale sign while walking through this neighborhood one day, and now it's his personal museum, full of his collected artifacts, which he hopes to turn over to a foundation someday. His inimitable style is everywhere, and makes for pleasant page turning.
Most of the pics are of the interior and are in B/W. However floor plans and elevations appear at the end.

Summary: Right on Target
Review: Who would've thought this famous architect/spatula designer would be living in a converted concrete block warehouse? It is a complete but non-technical photo essay with the obligitory highbrow analysis. We don't know what the roof is made of, for example, or how the house was constructed, or where he got those steel casement windows. We do know he just saw a For Sale sign while walking through this neighborhood one day, and now it's his personal museum, full of his collected artifacts, which he hopes to turn over to a foundation someday. Anyway, his inimitable style is everywhere, inside and out, and makes for pleasant page turning. Most of the pics are of the interior and are in B/W. However floor plans, all elevations and several sections appear at the end.
