Resumen:
House: American Houses for the New Century.House profiles new directions in American residential architecture, focusing only on houses that were built since 1998, most of which have never been discussed extensively in print before. The structures in this book represent the newest ideas in architecture about how to build houses, how they are rooted - and root us to their locale, and how we live in them. While profiling these buildings, the authors explore a number of issues central to contemporary architecture: the use of unusual materials and innovative building techniques; the relation of a house and its design to its immediate environment, including questions of landscape, climate, and aesthetics; and designing a home that fits the constantly changing structure and way of life of the American family. |
