This volume profiles 23 American homes inspired by Asian architecture, from traditional to modern designs. Color photos of interiors and exteriors are integrated. Information on architects, builders, designers, and square footage is given, along with descriptions of the homes and how they join Asian and American traditions, use nature as a key element, or are modular, for example. No index is provided. Langeteig writes about architecture and the arts for lifestyle magazines and literary journals. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
