The book 'Key Houses of the Twentieth Century. Plans, Sections and Elevations' features more than 100 of the most significant and influential houses of the 20th century, including classic works by such seminal architects as Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe and Alvar Aalto, as well as those by more recent masters, such as Tadao Ando, Rem Koolhaas and Glen Murcutt.

For each of the houses included there are numerous accurate scale plans showing each floor, together with elevations, sections and site plans where appropriate. All of these have been specially redrawn for this book and are based on the most up-to-date information and sources. There is also a concise text explaining the significant architectural features of the building and the influences it shows or generated, together with colour images.
