Suburban space : the fabric of dwelling / Renee Y. Chow.

xvii, 193 pages : illustrations, maps ; 29 cm

"Renee Y. Chow has made comparative studies of neighborhoods in Cambridge, Charleston, San Francisco, Levittown, and Radburn and housing by Rudolf Schindler and Irving Gill, as well as other residential settings. Her argument for a fabric of dwelling is founded not on generalizations about how people live, but on documented observations of the particular ways in which people organize their daily lives. This ground-breaking book demonstrates how one of the most disparaged yet common types of housing in the United States can become more environmentally and culturally viable."--BOOK JACKET.
