Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First American Edition. Examination of mostly mid-century to early 1980s design, but reaching back through the last 200 years of avant-garde theory, "in part a manifesto and in part a noncanonical history of the most progressive and heretical experiments in the applied arts and design", looking at "architecture and urban design as well as graphic, interior, exhibit, industrial, and fashion design." The 'Hot House' of the title refers more to a place where things grow and flourish - Italy in the 1960s & '70s - rather than architecture, though architecture is certainly part of the study. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured; the first American edition (first printing), listing no later printings. Light wear to book, minor bumping to corners; jacket shows minor edgewear, light creasing; endsheets lightly tanned; magic marker spot/slash on bottom page edge.
