Summary:
A-Frame constructions emerged in the mid-20th century and have been forgotten for decades. In recent years we are seeing how the spirit of A-Frame style houses is gradually being revived by avant-garde architects who have adapted this approach to more modern times. It is not uncommon nowadays to find examples of modern houses with A-Frame architecture as a hallmark in leading design magazines. This type of construction stands out for its structural simplicity, which in most cases reduces costs, and also for its great capacity for thermal and acoustic insulation, greater speed of construction, elimination of the need for columns, greater strength and structural consistency, among many other benefits. A-Frame homes have a better environmental impact due to energy savings in both construction and utility costs, not to mention a smaller carbon footprint for the environment.

Summary:
The intuitive design, sun-lit spaces, and tranquil vibe of modernist houses have an enduring appeal today. But can these homes be updated for contemporary living while maintaining the integrity of the original architecture?

Summary:
Les 100 maisons présentées dans cet ouvrage proposent non seulement un large panorama des styles de construction et de décoration intérieure, mais racontent également l'histoire de 100 architectes et de leurs quatre murs : une vision inédite de l'histoire de l'architecture européenne. Lorsque Gennaro Postiglione a lancé son projet d'exposition, en collaboration avec de nombreuses institutions européennes, il ne s'est pas contenté d'y inscrire des vedettes aux noms célèbres. Comme cet ouvrage le démontre, les réalisations d'architectes de moindre renommée ont elles aussi largement contribué à l'émergence d'idées et de styles innovants dans toute l'Europe.
