Description
“Houses” is a memoir of a life in which architecture was a source of considerable interest, perhaps best described as a pleasant hobby. In short Mr. Work makes the case that architecture plays a more important role in how we live than is commonly understood. Mr.Work hopes that the primary audience for whom this volume is intended, his children and their children, will also find therein some stories they might enjoy and some additional things that matter.
