Rating: Summary: nothing to see here Review: I disagree with reviewers who said the book did not have enough words. My complaint is that the pictures don't say anything new. This book is a waste of money.
Rating: Summary: awesome Review: I love this book, gave me tons of idea for my future house. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: No Solutions Review: I made my selection based on the editoral review. However, I found the review very misleading. This is a picture book with practically no text, not even captions for the pictures. All of the text would probably fit on 10 pages and most of the pictures are too small to show much detail. Very disappointing to say the least. Imagine watching a movie on a 9" screen with the volume turned off.
Rating: Summary: A real disappointment Review: Is this what passes for book publishing now? I opened the book to find that someone threw together a mishmash of photos that I guess they happened to like and then wrote practically nothing about them. If i want pictures put together scrapbook fashion like this, I can clip photos from magazines and tape them into a blank book. Which is what this is.
Rating: Summary: clearly underrated Review: listen, this book clearly and susinctly establishes a degree a minimalism and clarity in design that most books disregard in order to be "hip" and "modern". ths book relishes in providing ideas that approach the limits of functional simplicity but avoid breaching the realm of practicality. occasionally, the book moves away from the minimalism to appreciate the creativity of working with those materials that are readily available, however, te focal point is the efficient usage of spaces to create modern designs that give proper recognition to the masters who initiated these designs.get it and love it.

Rating: Summary: elegant idea book Review: perhaps the book is mistitled. i can't believe anyone would actually buy this book thinking it had home depot how-to "solutions," as some reviewers claim. what it is, is a beautiful, elegant, modern *idea* book. i saw it in the bookstore of a modern art museum and wrote down the title to come home and buy it online. it is a visual documentary of possibilities, powerful in its simplicity and convincing in its aesthetic. as a graphic designer, an architecture student, and a dabbler in interior design, i can say it's one of my favorites.
