"Binning House has many commendable attributes and the short text certainly conjures up much of the enduring appeal of this house and, more broadly, the regional legacy of the modern movement in architecture, planning, and design. The format of the book, its physical form, is both appealing and attuned to the strategy of UBC SALA (School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture) /West Coast Modern House Series of studies of single houses to which it belongs." --The Ormsby Review "In this fourth book in the West Coast Modern House Series from UBC SALA, architect and author Matthew Soules takes a phenomenological tack in his narrative on the famed BC artist and his house. Again along with Leslie Van Duzer, Sherry McKay, Christopher Macdonald, book design by Pablo Mandel and photography by Michael Perlmutter, Binning House is a wonder as a revelation of both Binning the artist as well as the archetypal house he built in 1938. With a balance of erudite text and impeccable photography--along with the sumptuous colour palette selected for the book covers--the book is also complimented this time around by a series of meticulous section drawings done by recent UBC SALA graduate Lorinc Vass." --Spacing.ca
