As a delightful companion to her widely celebrated The Language of Clothes, Lurie followed with The Language of Houses, a provocative and entertaining journey through the architecture of houses and buildings and the divided spaces within that come to reflect the attitudes and purposes of the organizations and people who inhabit them.
Advance praise for The Language of Houses "Alison Lurie, in her lucid, jargon-free way, allows us to read what architecture is saying. Anyone who is building or decorating a house or office will benefit from her helpful analysis. She has culled the best ideas from a vast secondary literature and passed it all through the sieve of her brilliant mind. " -Edmund White “The Language of Houses has every quality you would expect from a work by Alison Lurie: intelligence, authority, wit and charm.” - Louis Begley |
