Architects' Houses by Michael Webb

Thirty of the worlds leading architects, including Norman Foster, Thom Mayne, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, talk about the houses they designed for themselves over the past decade. What inspired them, what were the constraints, Michael Webb explores the creative process and traces the influence of architects houses over the past two hundred years, from Jeffersons Monticello to the creations of Charles and Ray Eames, Toyo Ito and Frank Gehry. Texts, images, sketches and plans are interwoven to illustrate houses that differ widely, in size, material, character and location.
