Summary:
Cet ouvrage s'attache à suivre la démarche des architectes contemporains qui abordent ces espaces dédiés au culte ou à la méditation et se concentre sur 41 églises, chapelles, synagogues, mosquées ou temples, construits pendant ces dernières années et représentatifs de l'esthétique de ce tournant de siècle. Ces édifices illustrent la richesse de la contribution des architectures urbaine, domestique et publique à des projets conçus pour inspirer, prier ou méditer. Le texte dépeint la manière dont les architectes modulent la lumière et l'espace ; il traite aussi de l'insertion des constructions dans leur environnement.

Summary:
XS Future, the third volume in the successful XS series, focuses on two of today’s most challenging design problems—how to conserve space and help preserve the environment. The houses that are profiled here all represent striking, cost-effective, functional solutions located "at the edge of possibility"—remote locations previously deemed unbuildable, sites that face extreme environmental conditions, or simply, designs so daringly provocative that they are literally at the extremity of contemporary architecture. Each project shares the same basic design brief: build as small and efficiently as possible, harmonize with the site, use natural heating/cooling techniques, and, above all, combine aesthetic beauty with ecological sensitivity.

Audacieuses et souvent insolites, ces micro-architectures constituent un ensemble hétéroclite dont le seul dénominateur commun est la petite taille.

Summary:
Ce livre est une célébration des petits édifices, cabanes, kiosques et pavillons que l'on rencontre au détour d'une rue ou d'un chemin. Audacieuses et souvent insolites, ces micro-architectures constituent un ensemble hétéroclite dont le seul dénominateur commun est la petite taille. Étant donné la variété des fonctions et des styles qui les caractérisent, il est clair que la taille n'impose aucune limite à la créativité et que l'utilité n'est pas contradictoire avec la beauté. À travers les projets les plus innovants du moment, "XS" témoigne de l'originalité de ces structures et montre que «penser petit» peut s'avérer un exercice merveilleux et collectif.

Qu'est-ce qu'une approche «écologique» de l'architecture ? Cet ouvrage rend hommage aux constructions de petite taille, mais s'interroge également sur ce qu'une architecture «verte» peut apporter à l'environnement. Il présente un vaste éventail d'approches innovantes qui cherchent à minimiser les dégâts causés à la nature. Qu'il s'agisse de folies ornementales ou de structures utilitaires, les belvédères, abris ou pavillons présentés ici bouleversent les idées reçues sur la construction et les matériaux tout en inaugurant de nouvelles pratiques. «Toucher la terre avec légèreté», c'est-à-dire la ménager, est aujourd'hui une préoccupation majeure. A travers des projets aussi petits qu'audacieux, «XS Vert» montre comment des structures construites pour le bien-être des hommes peuvent contribuer au bien-être de la planète.

This book is the celebration of small buildings, those unexpected structures that make us momentarily pause to ponder their meaning, or our own meaning, or simply to appreciate the elegance of their creation. From the spectrum of functions and styles of these structures, it is clear that size imposes no limits on creativity, and utility is no constraint to beauty. Thonking small is a wonderfully constructive exercise.
