Dramatically sited in rugged terrain of the Sonoran Desert, David Hovey´s most recent houses explore the fundamental dichotomies in architectura: natural and built; machine and craft; shelter and exposure; rationality and romance. All are held in taut balance as these extended out over the landscape.

Throught his career, David Hovey has designed space for living, exploiting structure and materials to create buildigns of streenght, simplicity, and grace. The Nature of Dwellings presents a comprehensive view of the seven single- family houses Hovey has designed, three near Chicago and four in Arizona, and relates them to his award - winning portfolio of multifamily housing developments.

Lavish suites of photographs reveal the sweep of space through the interiors and the relationship of the houses to the land. Through a series of comments accompanying these lush photographs, Hovey describes his design intetion and the palette of materials that creates a unique solution for each site. These houses merge into landscape, and with names like Ravine Bluff, Cloud Chaser, and Shadow Caster, their ties to the land and climate are clear.

    First used in the 15th century, the word transparent has origins in the Medieval Latin – transparere, meaning to show through.
