overall , I enjoy this magazine and look forward to it arrive in my mailbox . like all periodical , some issue be hit or miss , but overall it be a interesting read . the feel of the magazine be exceptional -- with a beautiful matte cover , and substantial page , it be like a little picture book unto itself . the main push be in extremely cunning , modern design , so if you prefer a more traditional look -lrb- read : not less-is-more -rrb- or be not interested in modern technology for the home , perhaps this be not you bag . I enjoy article profile designer , get a glimpse into other ' home , make the most of small space , and learn about home on a more global basis . they fresh take on technology and go green be very refreshing , and waaay beyond the old `` install a CFL light bulb and you be green ! '' . I must admit , however , that Dwell do seem to be california-heavy and have a lot of article on architect and they home or extremely expensive furniture , but they still branch out enough to give one a sense of , say , the use of color in India , float home in the Netherlands , or home build as urban infill . they have also be do a great job recently explore smaller home and apartment , a breath of fresh air from other in this business . it be a good and worthwhile read that will help you explore non-traditional material , design , and thought on the industry of `` home '' .
