From the page: "The sheer volume of imagery of 'modern architecture' rather than, say, 'traditional architecture' has effectively ended modernist's stance as the 'other', inverting the conventional relationship between the ordinary and the avant-garde. In fact, we'd go so far as to say that the conventional house, the pitched-roof, unironic, neo-vernacular, Monopoly-token symbol of domestic shelter is underrepresented, especially given its overwhelming dominance in the 'real world'. Do a google image search for 'house' and 5 out of 18 images on the first page correspond to 'modern' designs. Cast around the design blogs, and the archetype has been replaced by a new domestic object, the box, whether white, wooden, crisp, slanted, cantilevered, stealthy, or simple."
