中文简介：

本书以多种方式颂扬了现代主义设计。“STRATA”是在亚利桑那州建造的一栋现代主义住宅，使用了大量玻璃创造内外模糊的效果，深悬的屋檐和玻璃墙提供了透明度和采光，使人想起赖特和诺伊特拉的作品。本书讲述了该住宅的建造过程，并通过知名建筑记者James Moore McCown的文章将其放置在历史的角度。它记录了所有三位设计师的工作，强调了他们的贡献和成就，是对美国西南地区的大胆和美丽的庆祝。

英文简介：

STRATA celebrates modernist design in multiple ways. Its vast use of glass blurs the inside with the outside. Its deep overhanging eaves intersecting with each other at various angles recalls the best work of Wright. Its expansive glass calls to mind Neutra's work and his insistence on architectural transparency.

This book is about the process of building STRATA and also puts the house in historical perspective with an essay, "Building in the Sonoran Desert," by James Moore McCown, a prominent architectural journalist based in Boston. This work is careful to chronicle the work of all three collaborators - without one of them, the results would not have been possible. The Architect. The Interior Designer. The Builder. All get their due in STRATA, a celebration of audacity and the beauty of the American Southwest.
