Yet all these interiors share an intelligence and an integrity that give them great impact. Beautifully illustrated with original photographs by Judith Watts, Inside Architecture reveals the avant-garde residences of architects on the putting edge of design, and illustrates how such I roasters as Michael Graves, Charles Gwathmey, Hugh Newell Jacobsen, and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown live today.
