Abstract
The building of Reston started there with a seamless match of residential and commercial structures opening upon pathways and a plaza on the shores of a man-made lake, free of automobiles, overhead cables, and platitudinous architecture. In defiance of economic rules, founder Bob Simon erected in his newly-acquired wilderness a residential tower named Heron House, thrusting upward above his lake to mark then and now the site of an audacious new discipline in community building which joined aesthetics to the traditional planning goals of residential convenience and economic feasibility.
