In their words:
"STORIES OF HOUSES
feature examples of dwellings from which we can all learn - both the
clients during their contemplation about building a house, and the
architects to understand and evaluate the life of the clients... This series of articles tries to
give answers to questions concerning intimacies and origins of important
international houses. They try to fill the gap left by so many History
of Architecture books which, when neglecting these extreme personal
sources, forget the multidisciplinary character of architecture. The
houses analysed have been selected for their good architecture and for
having been designed by a famous architect. But more than that, there is
also an indispensable ingredient of having clients tell a passionate
story that generates the project. Stories of Houses include information
about the clients, their requests and needs, without which one cannot
begin to understand the final result."
