| book description |

In the early 1980â€™s with the customary dearth of commissions for a young architectural practice Massimo Vignelli had designed a series of prototypical houses. These were specifically affordable houses, houses that could be built inexpensively, but without the onus attached to â€œcheap housing.â€ Fundamental to the design was the notion that these dwellings should have resonance with what is deeply recognized in all peoples as â€œhouse.â€ Massimo noted that the concept, indeed, the word â€œfriendlyâ€ as applied to an object was unique to the English language and that these houses with their simple geometry and pitched roofs embodied the idea, from which was born this book.
