Progress
in the past 2 days i have been looking at the way in which residential housing developments are designed and built and what they look at to make them work. I am hoping it will give me a good direction in ways to make a sustainable design appeal to the public. I have found 2 books at the library on malcolm wells and will be picking them up today at temple. As for the disection of toll brothers housing, i am working on finding information, but only find sites published by toll brothers. But i do have previous knoledge of their houses from then ive worked on them. Ive seen the materials used when i did demo on them.

please firstly be aware that the posts don't have to be polished or final - in fact it is far better for you to use it as a way of updating us well in advance so we can aid in your search.
second, the 'dissection' i'm talking about is an analysis of those very sites, your not going to find any book criticizing them specifically, you may find some articles, but the resource you should use is the stuff like their 'design your house by adding crown molding' websites - the dissection is your own critical response to that process. It is that process which simultaneously makes them so environmentally unfriendly and so consumer-friendly. That's the process you need to analyze.
