The Place of Houses – Three architects suggest ways to build and inhabit houses by Charles Moore, Gerald Allen, and Donlyn Lyndon (Holt, Rinehart and Winston 1974) explores principles of successful housing design.
“We are writing for those of you who still think it important to make a place of your own and who have the energy to struggle with the problems of making it, whether with your own hands, or with the aid of an architect and builder, or by renovating a place already built.”
Richly illustrated with houses large and small, old and new, with photographs, plans, and cutaway drawings, The Place of Houses is a book for people who want a house but who may not know what they really need, and who probably do not know what they have a right to expect. The authors believe that individual houses still have an important place in our society, that they can happily express the care and energies, even the pretensions and dreams, of the people who live in them.
