Résumé:
Architects face many challenges when designing a modern urban house. Environmental performance, aesthetics, technical logistics, material concerns, site constraints—these are all considerations that have the potential to limit what architects can achieve, but that also can inspire creative solutions. In addition, each city’s history, obstacles, and opportunities influence local design approaches. Jonathan Bell and Ellie Stathaki have selected urban structures from around the world to serve as both exemplary solutions and standout works of art—in Beijing and Mexico City, Athens and Tokyo, Los Angeles and Cape Town. By examining buildings on six continents, from both emerging architects and established studios such as Zaha Hadid Architects, MVRDV, and Johnston Marklee, this stunning volume explores the many ways in which architecture can enhance the experience of dwelling in a modern city by responding to traditional styles and challenges of site and providing a broader understanding of place.

Résumé:
De Londres à Casablanca, en passant par Singapour, Sidney ou San Francisco, l’architecture doit prendre en compte les réalités de l’environnement et de la population. Les grands principes du modernisme sont ainsi adaptés aux différents climats, aux densités urbaines, aux usages locaux. La maison individuelle en ville est un terrain d’expérimentation pour les architectes. Les questions d’intimité, de luminosité et d’occupation de l’espace sont au cœur des réalisations présentées dans cet ouvrage.
