The complex issues of what it means to live and dwell in the physical world are essential elements of the agenda for the Center for American Architecture and Design. These issues were the subject of the conference, “Dwelling,” hosted by the Center in April 1992 at the University of Texas at Austin. This subsequent volume of CENTER continues and deepens the inquiry into the conference’s central question: beneath all that we have dreamed of and made, lost and maintained, how do we at one place or another, at one time or another, dwell?
