"The problem of the house is a problem of the epoch," declared the French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier; architecture, he felt, should focus on everyday life and produce housing that is 'made for living in.' In The Problem of the House, Alex Anderson explores a group of like-minded designers in France, the architects-décorateurs, who also committed themselves to designing and equipping the modern house.

Alex T. Anderson is associate professor of architecture at the University of Washington.
