Reviews

An impressively documented work on an important, generally overlooked postwar homes competition. What makes the book exceptional is that it covers 'architecture and design for everyday life, ' created by trained architects along with others, including those who were talented amateurs. That populist aspect makes Moroney's work compelling and very different from many other books. --John Zukowsky, author of Building Chicago: The Architectural Masterworks
