Contributors include Mathias Klotz, Stephen Atkinson, Ply Architecture, and Tod Williams and Billie Tsien. Highlights include plexus r+d's analysis of the domestic condition in the films American Beauty and Fight Club, Todd Hido's eerie, suburban photographs (one finding its way to the cover) and Frank Harmon's design for a house in the Abacos Islands of the Bahamas. |
