A Natural System of House Design: An Architects Way

Groundbreaking module system simplifies house design. Hailed by Charles Gwathmey as ``both passionate and disciplined,'' A Natural System of House Design by Charles G. Woods offers you a simple-to-use module ``system'' of design, developed over a period of 25 years. This expert design tool shows you how to apply a highly adaptable (to rectangles, angles, and curves) 4'0" square module that will be invaluable in both design and construction drawings--and in the construction process itself. Blending philosophy and practical design skills, the book includes dozens of beautiful sample drawings and photos of Woods' own module house designs, both in progress and completed--plus the author's tip on energy efficiency and low-cost design methods, as well as illustrations by Malcom Wells.
