Reviews

From diagram to type, from thickness to thinness, and from raw material to elaborate details, the book thoughtfully dismantles what it means to make a book as much as it takes apart the domestic structures that are its subject. In doing so, it also reveals to us how lessons from a simple house may yet have wider and far-reaching implications, whether confronting buildings of larger program, sites of urban complexity, or narratives of greater consequence. --Nader Teharini, Architectural Record


The duo has taken the house apart and put it back together in accordance with 13 themes and houses, each replete with wider cultural contexts that include literature, art, architectural precedents, and film. - Nader Tehrani, Architectural Record
