Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Este libro recopila una coleccion de casas del siglo XX que por su pequenas dimensiones se han venido calificando como casas minimas. Este termino engloba casas (o bungalows, cabinas, refugios, ...) de superficie reducida, programa sencillo, sistemas constructivos elementales, materiales basicos y presupuesto modesto, pero resuelto con grandes dosis de ingenio y sensibilidad. Esta edicion profusamente ilustrada contiene una seleccion de obras y proyectos que van desde los anos 20 hasta nuestros dias de los grandes arquitectos de nuestro siglo (Schindler, Le Corbusier, Oud, Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, ...), junto con arquitectos contemporaneos de reconocido prestigio como Herzog & de Meuron, Norman Foster, Philip Johnson, Souto de Moura, Toyo Ito o Sverre Fehn.

Synopsis:

Remarkable for its diversity and style range, this book assembles essays about unusual small houses from modern-movement to present-day design. Each article describes the challenges of particular sites, owners' needs, and the talents of their architects. Original architectural drawings accompany photographs of interiors, exteriors, and noteworthy details.
