American Homes opens the window onto the rich landscape of all the places we call home; Award-winning architect, Lester Walker examines hundreds of styles of homes and helps us understand the history of each style, why it developed as it did, and the practical and historical reasons behind its shape, size, material, ornament, and plan; The hundreds of vivid, one-of-a-kind illustrations include Walker's trademark exploded diagrams, sequenced drawings that illustrate the evolution of our most influential housing styles, annotated floorplans, and detailed drawings that magnify gingerbread gables, stucco wall patterns, and more.
