This Week's Quiz -
House sizes around the world have been increasing even as
family sizes have been shrinking. As of the mid-1990s,
the average family size in the United States was four,
according to a report from the United Nations, while the
average size of a new U.S. home was 1,600 square feet
(150 square meters). At that time, only one of the
following had a larger average new house size. Was it
Japan, Kuwait, Israel, or Great Britain?

Architecture Answer - for last issue's quiz...
The first exterior glass elevator built in the United
States was for the El Cortez Hotel in San Diego,
California. Dubbed the Starlight Express, the elevator
carried passengers to the twelfth-floor Starlight Room
Restaurant. Was this elevator constructed in 1938, 1956,
or 1967?
