| Discussion | Smith House Commentary
"There is a formal layering, giving a sense of progression, as one moves across the site from the entrance road down to the shore, and the 'line of progression' determines the major site axis. Perpendicular to this axis, the intersecting planes in the house respond to the rhythms of the slope, trees, rock outcroppings, and the shoreline." — Richard Meier. Richard Meier, Architect. New York: Oxford University Press, 1976. p23. | ||||
