Peter Salter has been a hugely influential figure in architectural education over the
last 30 years. While his drawings have inspired generations of students, they are
remarkably hard to find in print. Reconciling this peculiar absence, this richly illustrated book brings together all the design material relating to a single project: four houses on a tight and irregular site in west London. As his first completed building in Britain, the project makes physical for the first time the ideas and family of forms that Salter has been evolving over his long career. To be published on the building's completion, and in tandem with an AA exhibition, the book tracks the design's complex evolution from the drawing board through to its long-awaited realisation.
