In the early 1980’s with the customary dearth of commissions for
a young architectural practice Massimo Vignelli had designed a
series of prototypical houses. These were specifically affordable
houses, houses that could be built inexpensively, but without the
onus attached to “cheap housing.” Fundamental to the design was
the notion that these dwellings should have resonance with what is
deeply recognized in all peoples as “house.” Massimo noted that
the concept, indeed, the word “friendly” as applied to an
object was unique to the English language and that these houses
with their simple geometry and pitched roofs embodied the idea,
from which was born this book.
