Architectural Record posts their yearly survey of house design. Sorry, make that, house design for the affluent. Record didn’t create this problem, they just report on it. It is rare for modest projects (the link is to a student’s 3D renderings; offline you can find a monograph and some decent documentation elsewhere) to be realized, and even less so for them to be published, but the purist can wade through the entries properly blinkered. If the measure of great work is that which makes you forget issues like these, then Ando, as usual, wins hands down. For the locals, they also have selections from an admirable, but unrealized project, to bring a modicum of restraint to eastern Long Island.
