Books leaving home, Architecture, January 2025

 Book lovers love to collect and grieve when the books need to go.  Here's the list leaving home in January, 2025

Architecture as space; how to look at architecture. Bruno Zevi. Horizon Press, 1957.

202 outstanding city house ideas.  Manuel Gutierrez Couto. Firefly Books, 2016.  We kept this on the coffee table for several years and browsed as needed.  Someone will enjoy.

The old house book of cottages and bungalows. Compiled by Lawrence Grow. Main Street Press, Pittstown, New Jersey, 1987. Here's the problem with "weeding."  On p. 103 is the floor plan of the home of my friend Lynne in Mt. Morris, IL described as California mission styled bungalow. Many adorable 2 bedroom homes.

The plywood house. Prepared by the School of Architecture of Pratt Institute. 71 p. Internet record says published in 1966, but I can't find it on the piece. I think it was part of an exhibition.

Your new house; the alert consumer's guide to buying and building a quality home. by Alan & Denise Fields, Windsor Peak Press, 1993.

Historic houses of America open to the public (An American Heritage guide) 1971. 320 p.

Arkkitehti [Finnish architectural review] v. 7, no. 8, 1976.  It's my guess this came from Erkki Alanen who lived with us when he first came to Columbus.

Plans for concrete houses. 3rd ed. Portland Cement Assocation, 1925. Insert is an order blank to buy more books, 79 p. This was my grandparents'.

F.A. Hayek on totalitarianism of the Leftists

How should we conservatives think about race and critical theory, CRT; the misnamed gender affirmation or transgenderism; the climate change cult; abortion on demand at any stage of pregnancy; free and open borders ; mandates that didn't reduce the toll of the pandemic and had never been tried before? F.A. Hayek had some thoughts.

" Incredible as some of these aberrations [spirit of totalitarianism] may appear, we must yet be on our guard not to dismiss them as mere accidental by-products which have nothing to do with the essential character of a planned or totalitarian system. They are not. THEY ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF THAT SAME DESIRE TO SEE EVERYTHING DIRECTED BY A "UNITARY CONCEPTION OF THE WHOLE," of the need to uphold at all costs the views in the service of which people are asked to make constant sacrifices, and of the general idea that the knowledge and beliefs of the people are an instrument to be used for a single purpose. Once science has to serve, not TRUTH, but the interests of a class, a community or a state, the sole task of argument and discussion is to vindicate and to spread still further the beliefs by which the whole life of the community is directed. As the Nazi minister of justice has explained, the question which every new scientific theory must ask itself is: "Do I serve National Socialism for the greatest benefit of all?"

The word TRUTH itself ceases to have its old meaning. . . it becomes something to be laid down by AUTHORITY, something which has to be believed in the interest of the unity of the organized effort and which may have to be altered as the exigencies of this organized effort require it. p. 178 "The Road to Serfdom; text and documents. F.A. Hayek, 1944, 2007. https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/R/bo4138549.html
