This book looks at how four architects--Stanley Saitowitz, Jim Jennings, Philip Banta, and Mark Horton--have worked to produce innovative, unashamedly modern single-family houses appropriate to life in California at the end of the 20th century, after the devastating fire of October 1991 razed one of the most desirable residential locations on the American West Coast.

About the A History of Architecture series: An on-going 25-volume series stretching from the earliest signs of settlement in the Euphrates and Jordan valleys to the stylistically and technologically sophisticated buildings of the present day. Each volume sets the buildings described and illustrated within their political, social and cultural contexts, exploring architecture not only as the development of form but as an expression of the civilizations within which it evolved. The series focuses on the story of the classical tradition from its origins in Mesopotamia and Egypt, through its seminal realization in Ancient Greece and Rome, to the Renaissance, neo-classicism, eclecticism, modernism and post-modernism. This thread is supplemented with excursions to Asia and the Islamic world. Great gifts; compact and collectable.

"Fancy is a superb book, a masterpiece, and even (I think I think) a novel, surely one of the nerviest ever undertaken." --Harry Mathews, author of The Solitary Twin and My Life in CIA ***An elderly shut-in delivers a series of pet-sitting instructions to a young couple who've come to watch over his many, many cats. A story (or series of stories) about the ways that methodical, abstract systems interface with messy, personal obsessions, Fancy is a kissing cousin to the work of both the late Henry James and the early Thomas Bernhard: an object lesson in how our need to make sense of the world winds up devouring it whole.
