Summary:
"Tiny taxonomy" describes the practice of gardening and the implications of strict classification. It seems that as the world around us gains complexity and intricacy, our biological world is trending towards monotony. As our experiences become more and more uniform, our capacity to apprehend transformation and detail diminishes. Using the scale of the individual plant, smallness becomes a design opportunity while classification embraces the aliveness of plants.

Summary:
In France no less than in Britain, the late 1960s saw a rebellion against the relentless anonymity of modernist planning. In the search for alternatives, Jean Renaudie showed an originality and a daring unrivalled up to this day. Conceived along structuralist principles, informed by research in molecular biology, his urban projects overturned the logic of the vast housing estates that were being steamrolled across France by the State. In the place of uniform tower blocks, he designed developments in which every dwelling was unique. Diversity – the spanner in the works of mass production – was for him a moral obligation. No concession was made in the name of type, be it human or architectural. ‘The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.’ Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Summary:
The private single-family house is by far the most popular form of housing, and because of its size, it is a popular project with architects. In this book, 15 international examples are presented, reviewing the most important aspects of construction including the use of wood, steel, brickwork and concrete which have all become established materials for this type of building. All plans and details from the base to the roof have been painstakingly researched with the high degree of competence typical of the review Detail and the uniform presentation makes the information immediately accessible, inviting comparison and analysis. The authors provide explanatory introductions to the fundamental aspects of planning, from the design of the floor plans to the realisation, and they set this type of building within the context of the 20th century, pointing towards the potential developments of the single family house. In cooperation with DETAIL, review of architecture and construction detail
