Dear Readers,
Ask Americans if they prefer modern or traditional house designs and most will answer without hesitation: traditional. Ask architects what they wish to design and most will say: modern work.
Are both sides really as far apart as they seem? Whether adding on or building new, our fourth annual Reinvention will examine the various ways architects can engage the past, present, and future to improve the practice and the art of residential design. Imagine—architecture that satisfies both your client and the muse within you.
