In a fascinating look at this architectural phenomenon, Chad Randl tells the story of the triangle house, from prehistoric Japan to its lifestyle-changing prime in the 1960s as a symbol of play, leisure, and outdoor living. Part architectural history and part cultural exploration, the book documents every aspect of A-frame living with cartoons, ads, high-style and do-it-yourself examples, family snapshots, and an appendix with a complete set of blueprints in case you want to build your own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Princeton Architectural Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45356130042007,"sku":"9781616899059","price":1815.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781616899059.webp?v=1769291949","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-frame-9781616899059","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
