Więcej o książce

What defines a house beyond the fundamental notion of shelter? The diverse selection of extraordinary dwellings in this series showcases the concept's infinite malleability. From houses that hover above the ground to those embedded within it, the designs vary dramatically. Some feature stark minimal lines, while others boast lush tropical gardens; some are palatial, others monastic—all exemplifying remarkable structural and aesthetic mastery. This collection highlights the work of numerous architects and practices, including Amarterrance, Arkpabi, Eduardo Arroyo – No.mad Arquitectos, Atelier Bow-wow, Bellemo & Cat, and many others. Each entry reflects a unique approach to architecture, emphasizing innovation and creativity. The book includes contributions from renowned figures like Alberto Campo Baeza, Fearon Hay, Toyo Ito, Richard Meier, and Olson Kundig, among others. With a focus on both contemporary and traditional elements, the featured designs invite readers to explore the boundaries of architectural expression. This volume is presented in parallel text in English, German, and French, and includes an index for easy navigation. It serves as an inspiring resource for anyone interested in the evolving nature of residential architecture.
