Small Eco-houses
The emergence of a greater awareness of the environment, the application of new technical knowledge, and the use of traditional construction methods such as orientation towards the sun, are motivating a growing number of owners to have ecological houses built on a small scale. These small eco-houses are a first step towards a culture of sustainable and responsible construction, based on the use of natural materials which save energy and contain environmental contamination, but also on the creation of small oases that offer a high quality of life. There are numerous examples of how pleasant ecological houses can be from an architectural viewpoint, and the variety of ecological materials now available allows architects to select their own approach. This books presents a selection of small eco-houses: considered architectural anomalies for some time, these houses have laid the foundation for tomorrow's construction. Издание на английском, французском и немецком языках.

Jodidio Philip White Houses
Devoted to all-white houses, this book celebrates the ever- popular "non-color" as a perfect backdrop for contemporary lifestyles Sometimes seen as an absence of color, white in fact reflects the purity of the entire spectrum. In the history of design, white houses often embody the bright, clean clarity associated with twentieth-century giants Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Richard Meier. White Houses presents the most striking, innovative, and unusual white houses by contemporary architects, spanning the globe from Asia to the Americas. The featured houses represent every scale and a wide range of locations and terrains, from seaside retreats to space-saving urban homes and grand country residences. From radical new takes on traditional building forms in Latin America to state-of-the-art urban projects in Europe and Japan, each house employs the apparent simplicity of white to reflect light and accent materiality, pressing the frontiers of form to the point of abstraction. No longer an anonymous box, the contemporary white house is the embodiment of the architectural archetype, reinterpreted and refreshed. 260 illustrations

Harris Joanne A Pocketful of Crows
I am as brown as brown can be, And my eyes as black as sloe; I am as brisk as brisk can be, And wild as forest doe. (The Child Ballads, 295) So begins a beautiful tale of love, loss and revenge. Following the seasons, A Pocketful of Crows balances youth and age, wisdom and passion and draws on nature and folklore to weave a stunning modern mythology around a nameless wild girl. Only love could draw her into the world of named, tamed things. And it seems only revenge will be powerful enough to let her escape. This is a stunning and original modern fairytale.

Neil Jackson Koenig
There are few images of 20th century architecture more iconic than the nighttime view of Case Study House #22 set on its eagle's-nest site high above the lights of Los Angeles. With his two innovative houses for the famous project of the Arts and Architecture magazine, American architect Pierre Koenig (1925-2004) became one of the leading figures of the Modern movement in America. While still a student of architecture, he designed and built his first exposed steel house in 1950, proving that the use of prefabricated materials could allow for spatial freedom in affordable houses. Koenig's houses, like the Johnson House (1962) or the Oberman House (1962), are a direct response to Southern California's extremely warm and dry climate. His work is deeply marked by his commitment to environmentally and socially responsible design. His houses have thus become characteristic of the spirit of a whole generation: they perfectly capture the excitement and optimism of the American postwar society. Издание на английском языке.

Tiny Houses
In the spirit of treading a bit lighter on the planet, Tiny Houses explores the microgreen side of sustainable architecture-tiny homes where architects and owners challenge themselves to live with less, but to get more out of the experience. This eco-aware idea springs from the need to conserve resources and reduce our individual carbon footprints. A wee alternative to McMansion sprawl, this low-impact movement asks people to lighten-up. Tiny Houses brings together an international - collection of over thirty unique homes and living concepts under 1,000 square feet-some practical and others conceptual-ranging from tree houses and prefabricated dwellings to floating houses. The book presents building plans, vivid photographs of the homes, arid inventive compact living solutions.

Book of Houses
More than any other kind of building, the family house reflects social change and technical innovation. It thus has a particular model character, allowing a high degree of experimentation with materials and spatial concepts. This is true of all the houses presented here: their interiors depart from the traditional division of space in favor of integrated rooms and functional solutions, while the exteriors are characterized by a careful choice of surface materials, the sensitive treatment of the plots and resources, and the attention paid to the surroundings and landscape. Bearing the stamp of the personal ideas and wishes of the clients, not to speak of the available budget, the result is a set of highly individual houses. This volume demonstrates in more than 550 illustrations, plans, elevations, and diagrams how modern architectural challenges can be met successfully.

Crichton Smith Iain Consider the Lilies
'When she rose in the morning the house at first seemed to be the same. The sun shone through the curtains of her window. On the floor it turned to minute particles like water dancing. Nevertheless, she felt uneasy ... What had the girl said? Something about the 'burning of houses'. They just couldn't put people out of their houses, and then burn the houses down. No one had ever heard of that before. Not in the country...' In this modern classic, from one of Scotland's greatest writers, Consider the Lilies captures the thoughts and memories of an old woman who has lived all her life within the narrow confines of her community during one of the cruellest episodes of Scottish history - the Highland Clearances.
