Review Quotes: Worth picking up, whether you know everything or nothing about architecture... It's clear that author and photographer love these houses in the way that the architects and owners did... The Iconic House may seem like a book for aficionados, one more attractive coffee table book for a carefully styled living room. But this book is also for people who know little about architecture and want to learn about it from an approachable instructor. Read one lively case study a night. Dog-ear the pages. Then look up and see that our homes are reflections, too, of our views and our values at this moment in time.-- "The Washington Post"
