![]() Witold Rybczynski takes us on an extraordinary odyssey as he tells the story of the designing and building of his own house. Synopsis of The Most Beautiful House in the World An eloquent examination of the links between being and building, The Most Beautiful House in the World offers insights into the joys of "installing ourselves in a place, of establishing a spot where it would be safe to dream." Rybczynski discusses feng-shui, the ancient Chinese art of locating a home in the landscape, and also considers the theories and work of such architects as Palladio, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright. In tracing this evolution, he touches on matters both theoretical and practical, writing on such diverse topics as the distinguished structural descendants of the humble barn, the ritualistic origins of the elements of classical architecture, and the connections between dress and habitation, and between architecture and gastronomy. Rybczynski's project began as a workshed through a series of "happy accidents," however, the structure gradually evolved into a full-fledged house. ![]() ![]() Overview of The Most Beautiful House in the World ![]()

I have carried them 800 miles across Alaska, through mountain passes and snow and then-90 degree sun that teased the Arctic tundra with warmth. Sixty-four pounds of fears and hopes rolled up in the sleeping bag and tent, stuffed between the soiled clothes, siphoned through the water filter into liquid I can drink, safely. These bags contain the essence of the past few weeks of my trip. I push my bike forward, its overstuffed rear panniers knocking against my leg. ![]() I try to remember what I’ve been told-that I should move away slowly and make a lot of noise if the bear follows, I should stand my ground. I can’t ride my bike or run, having injured my knee, so I stand and watch him in return, though he is barely a hundred feet away. He is a slow, lumbering giant, a world-weary emperor with golden fur and tiny eyes that squint at me with myopic curiosity. ![]() And not just any bear, but the first one of my trip. I would like to know what brings me to such moments of irony: When I am least able to flee, a bear comes.
