{"product_id":"9781568989631","title":"Five Houses, Ten Details","description":"Edward Ford's forty years of practicing and teaching architecture have focused on one area: the architectural detail. Yet, despite two hugely influential books (\u003cem\u003eThe Details of Modern Architecture\u003c\/em\u003e, volumes 1 and 2), numerous articles, and lectures given from Vancouver to Vienna, there are two questions Ford has, remarkably, never answered: \"What is a detail?\" and more importantly, \"What is a good detail?\" Ford is an architect as well as a writer, so it is not surprising that rather than answering these questions in a third book, he spent six years on the design and construction of a house. Building it was not an exercise in the application of ideas about detail; it was, rather, a mechanism for answering those two simple questions.","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128688722160,"sku":"9781568989631","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781568989631_p0.jpg?v=1763775895","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781568989631","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
