Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Rybcznski here describes the act of designing and building a house, questioning the nature of architecture and the architect's role. "This delightful ramble through the creative process will beguile architecture buffs and general readers alike," remarked PW. Illustrated. 75,000 first printing.

From Library Journal
Young architect decides to build boat, needs boat house to work in, ends up years later with country place and no boat, and meditates thereon. An extended reflection on the meaning of a house to its inhabitants, this personalized extension of the author's earlier Home ( LJ 9/1/86) does reveal some of what an architect does, albeit when the same person is architect, client, and builder, and it is simply written. More revealing, more detailed, more particular, and preferred is Tracy Kidder's House ( LJ 8/85).
