A little known pioneer in modern architecture:
I have known Mr. Geller and parts of his family for over 15 years. This book can only begin to explain the genius involved in the designs I have seen. I have stayed in a home of Mr. Geller's design which was absolutely remarkable in its use of open space while still allowing for privacy in a home that at the time was shared by 7 people. I am thrilled that this book finally gives some long overdue credit to one of the pioneers of modern residential architecture.
