Excellent residential design process reference. Maybe best.
Ever since its arrival in the mid-1970's as a reference for architecture students and professionals alike, this book has been one of the finest references, also, for budding homeowners as well. It places into beautiful perspective the almost anatomical linkage between large and small scale; neighborhood, house and room. It further discusses, eloquently, the relationship -- the emotional relationship -- between architecture and its users. Moore, et al, uses examples of old American neighborhoods, discussing the evolutionary nature of their success, contrasting it with the tragic results of uneducated development in suburban sprawls. If I sustain one distant criticism, it is that Moore slightly overdid the use of his own design examples which, though helpful, present less variety in style than would have been helpful to the central point of the book. But let there be no doubt, this is quite a little gem for *anyone* interested in what makes for exquisite personal residential lives. It is timeless in its core content.

Excellent
Primarily concerned with the design of residences that are appropriate to their settings. Lots of photos of Moore's houses

Intermittently involving and pedestrian
The stories in this brief volume read more like anecdotal reminiscences than fiction. Reminded me of the tone of Joyce's "Dubliners" in their attempt to combine the mundane with the transcendent. However, their often flat tone distances the reader from identifying with the characters. This may be due to translation, but for an English-language reader, the interest conveyed through these wartime vignettes of Budapest Jewry endures more than their literary merit. Tbe final story, however, nearly redeems the interrelated collection with its epiphany of an imagined revival of the district today.
