Summary:
"Architectural record" is the premier architectural magazine in America, with a devoted following among architects, designers, and the increasingly design-minded public. Drawing from the roster of award-winning residences featured since 1956 in "Record houses", the magazine's prestigious “best of” annual issue, this revised and expanded edition of the 1996 Abrams book showcases more than 75 of the most innovative and influential houses built in the last 50 years. Designed by such luminaries as Philip Johnson, Richard Meier, Gwathmey Siegel & Associates, Frank Gehry, and the 2005 Pritzker Prize–winner Thom Mayne of Morphosis, these houses have helped shape the direction of residential architecture. Texts by six noted architectural writers provide commentary on the key trends and developments of residential architecture in the last half century, and each decade is represented by a portfolio of photographs, along with numerous plans and drawings.
