All have been specially drawn for  the purpose and are based on the most up-to-date information and sources. Amplified with  full-color views of the houses, a concise text  explains the significant architectural features  of each building and the influences it shows or  generated. Cross-references to other buildings  in the book highlight the various connections  between these key houses. The introduction  discusses the idea of an architectural canon of  houses and gives an overview of the development  of the house in the twentieth century.\nThe  quality and number of the drawings allow the  houses to be understood in detail and, together  with the authoritative text and images, make  this book indispensable for all students of  modern architecture. As an added bonus, the book includes a CD-ROM containing digital files of all the drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eColin Davies\u003c\/b\u003e is professor at London Metropolitan University and the author of a number of books, including \u003ci\u003eHigh Tech Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), \u003ci\u003eHopkins: The Work of Michael Hopkins and Partners\u003c\/i\u003e (two volumes, 1996-2004), and \u003ci\u003ePrefabricated Home\u003c\/i\u003e (2005).\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46553417154721,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780393732054","price":52.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780393732054.jpg?v=1781730212","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/key-houses-of-the-twentieth-century-paperback-by-colin-davies","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
