During the academic year 2000-2001, Yale professor and New York City-based architect Peggy Deamer led two innovative courses: first, a focused seminar on the state of contemporary
residential design; second, a creative studio
offering house designs that drew on the discoveries of the seminar. This book, the second in a series documenting work at the Yale School of Architecture, combines work from both courses in a thoughtful and provocative study of
the state of the house at the turn of the millennium.
