lately, it seems that there is a good deal of growling and muttering among the architectural critics about the "inhumanity" of the architecture being thrust upon us...

Two good, small books on the subject, CS Lewis The Abolition of Man and Tom Wolfe's From Bauhaus to Our House

I had one customer on a rural route who designed his own house with no obvious front door. The first time I took a letter up to the house for a signature I walked all the way around the house looking for some place to knock; there were several sliding glass doors, but none of them gave a clue as to which might be the 'front'. The dude who lives there is some sort of eccentric genius. Designed optical systems for the space shuttle, but otherwise is looney as a jaybird.
