The place of houses

The authors establish the basis for good building by examining houses in the small Massachusetts town of Edgartown in Santa Barbara, California, where a commitment was made to re-create an imaginary Spanish past and in Sea Ranch, on the northern California coast, where the authors attempt to create a community. These examples demonstrate how individual houses can express the care, energies, and dreams of the people who live in them, and can contribute to a larger sense of place
