Praise for Get Your House Right:
“[A]n important and much needed book.”--Sarah Susanka, FAIA,
architect and author of The Not So Big series and Home by
Design
“Marianne Cusato translates architectural language into the
vernacular and, by doing so, into the reach of the average
consumer, where such knowledge is guaranteed to do the most
good….this 'Rosetta stone' of design will guarantee Cusato a place
in the history of twenty-first century American architecture.”--
The Philadelphia Inquirer
“[Cusato] provides a vision of how we live together and build on
our planet, and points out the consequences of flawed building
practices not only to our environment, but to our spirit and our
soul.”--Michael Lykoudis, Dean, University of Notre Dame School of
Architecture
