Not just a house, design a whole neighborhood,

This review is from: The Architectural Pattern Book: A Tool for Building Great Neighborhoods (Paperback)
Most of us like architectural books because we think, or possibly just dream of building our own ULTIMATE house. Here, however, is a book not on building a house, but on building an entire neighborhood.
It starts with a bit of history, the pattern books written in roman times. It brings them up to date with a survey of several American neighborhoods dating from turn of the century times. And finally it goes on to show what the authors have done as they designed blocks, sub-divisions and the like. It is intended to show what can be done to replace the common cookie cutter houses common in recent developments. It is a fascinating book that leads to thinking.

This was a needed reference and excellent compilation of information on architectural patterns in varying urban contexts. I highly recommend it to "TRUE ARCHITECTS"
