Summary:
Are small homes going to be the new norm? By mid-century, a large number of people will be living by themselves, meaning it is time the building industry gave small homes more attention. In the Dutch city of Almere, BouwEXPO Tiny Housing launched an open ideas competition in 2016. The winners built sixteen permanent and greatly varied houses at one location in the city, all of which are actually lived in today. The houses naturally serve as inspiration for small dwellings elsewhere, whether on vacant lots, as infill, on a roof, or in completely new neighbourhoods. This book offers an in-depth reportage on the entire design, funding, and building process of the awarded small homes.

Micro: very small buildings
$26.50
(available to order)
Summary:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is(...)

Summary:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is followed by five thematic chapters: Public Realm, Community Spaces, On the Move, Compact Living, and Extra Space. The 53 case studies include a park bench that transforms into a shelter for the homeless in Australia, an inflatable treetop structure for rainforest observation, a portable house for victims of hurricane Katrina, a transportable church in Finland, and a suspended office in France.

Omniprésente, à portée d'oeil et de main et pourtant souvent indéchiffrable, l'architecture est avant tout écriture, rythme, expression, poésie, création.

Summary:
L'architecture est tout à la fois l'art le mieux partagé et le plus imposé qui soit. Omniprésente, à portée d'oeil et de main et pourtant souvent indéchiffrable, l'architecture est avant tout écriture, rythme, expression, poésie, création. À cet art se superposent des techniques et des matériaux, des savoirs et des pratiques d'une grande complexité. Création et maîtrise qui, conjuguées, débouchent sur des fonctions et des usages essentiels. Mais ce qui distingue l'architecture de la construction, c'est sa dimension créative, qui en fait un art en perpétuelle évolution, lié aux avancées technologiques, économiques, sociologiques, politiques, philosophiques.

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.
