Modern architects seem to
be engaged in an all-out effort
to discredit the cave-with its
dungeon-like gloom - as a
form of shelter.
The houses they design are
becoming lighter and lighter.
the windows bigger and big
ger, the roof lines higher and
higher to entice the sun inside.
The truth is, nobody likes
caves any more except paleon-
tologists and psychologists
and even they don't want to
live in them.
Everybody seems to want
more windows on the world
these tlays-in houses. auto
mobiles, on the beach and even
in clothing and shoes.
It's not strange, therefore.
that a house should be de-
signed with its own system Of
built-in sunlight that pours
through inside windows as well
as outside windows.
This is the kind of house
