{"product_id":"a-house-and-its-atmosphere","title":"A House and its Atmosphere","description":"\u003cp\u003eA House and its Atmosphere is a meditative essay about the experience of designing and building a house of oneÕs own. Told in seventy black and white photographs and a series of narrative excursions, architect Ben Jacks reflects on a lifetime of influences as he reveals the personal nature of inhabiting a place at the edge of a tidal cove on an island in Maine. A House and its Atmosphere quietly advocates for the simple logic and modest ease of direct experience and an observational perspective in architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA House and its Atmosphere is a grounded story about designing and building a small work of architecture. With students of architecture and amateur builders in mind, Ben Jacks makes a case for design informed by theories of place-identification, detail, and craft. The book is a primary source and a chronicle of experience of radical empiricism. As such it offers a kind of conceptual tool kit for those interested in thinking about the processes of architecture, designing, and placemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44274509152417,"sku":"9781683150053","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/12qek7jg-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1714066909","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/a-house-and-its-atmosphere","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
