Each firm presents a small representation of their work with a brief philosophical statement of their chief designer followed by gorgeous color photographs of their houses. Unfortunately, floor plans, not to mention elevations and sections or other drawings are missing, which is a serious drawback in my view, As a result, I give this book four stars instead of five.
