First sentence: To think, design, create and build with a view toward the "new" necessarily involves introducing the unprecedented; it means throwing out the rule book, ignoring what you have always understood to be the "right" or "wrong" way to do things.
Description: The ultra-modern homes of this volume present unusual and sometimes radical solutions to building in various spaces with all kinds of materials. Fifty-one houses are featured in entries that contain color photos, groundplans, and drawings accompanied by a short description of the project, the materials employed, and the architect's conception.
