Women and the Making of the Modern House a Social and Architectural History
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Harry N Abrams Inc
- Publish date: 03/01/1998
Unlike previous studies of these buildings, this book focuses on people and their lives as well as on the history of built form. Each chapter follows one house from conception to completion and beyond, looking behind the scenes at the complex process of give-and-take as design decisions were hammered out.
Detailed portraits -- fashioned from personal letters, diaries, office records, photo albums, and interviews -- not only reveal the private passions and struggles that women and men of talent and creativity brought to these projects, but also suggest the rich cultural and artistic context in which each house was created. Through these fascinating stories our knowledge of these icons of 20th-century architecture is deeply enriched.
