In the nineteenth century, architects and family reformers launched promotional campaigns portraying houses no longer as simply physical structures in which families lived but as emblems for family cohesiveness and identity. Clark explains why, despite the fear of standardization and homogenization, the middle class has persisted in viewing the single-family home as the main symbol of independence as as the distinguishing sign of having achieved middle-class status.

The American Family Home, 1800-1960
Shigeru Ban is one of my favorite architects and human beings out there! His social commitment and passion for structures and experimenting with different materials and methods of construction is astounding and highly commendable. His furniture house is so functional. He has some simplicity that is beautiful to experience, I wish I could go to Japan and just go to experience the spaces he's talking about and feel what he's describing. It is something very alluring and the light is so warm as its projected into the building! Gosh, I hope I can meet him when I'm a professional and work with him. It would be a dream come true.
This books is a compilation of Shigeru Ban's work cataloged by the material: paper, wood, bamboo, concrete, and skin. It is not a comprehensive list 'cause I've read other books that showcase more of his works. However, this book details the construction system he used plus more details.
