before i started on this journey i came across this book at Cliff's Books in Pasadena. one of the few great used bookstores left in the world. it's a book of plans and ideas for houses ranging from 2000 square feet and down. quite modest by today's McMansion super size me world of overindulgence. most were 1100-1400 square feet and ranging anywhere from $8-15 dollars per square foot, yes, that is correct. pretty amazing when most houses sell for $500 per in the SoCal area. the house were designed by such imminent architects as Neutra and Craig Elwood. it's a great time capsule of design sensibilities when modern architecture was becoming more accepted and common place. the whole idea behind it was simplicity and smarter use of materials.
