Summary:
A tiny house is an experiment of space but also a challenge to simplify ways of life. Tiny Houses brings together an international collection of over thirty prefab homes and living concepts under 1,000 square feet—some are practical and others are cheeky, ranging from treehouses and compact dwellings to floating houses. The book presents conceptual building plans, detailed illustrations, and vivid photographs of the homes, architects, and proud enthusiasts who live in them. How much space is unused and "wasted" in your own home? This book will inspire the reader to think about architecture and interior design in a new and enlightened way.

Summary:
Depuis des siècles les extensions de petites dimensions représentent une source indispensable d’activité pour les architectes, mais elles sont rarement reconnues à leur juste valeur et le plus souvent négligées par les revues d’architecture ou de décoration. Aujourd’hui les choses ont changé. Sous l’effet de plusieurs facteurs, à commencer par la flambée des prix de l’immobilier et la flexibilité des styles de vie, les ajouts ou modifications de l’espace d’habitation sont devenus l’un des domaines les plus féconds de l’innovation en architecture. Ce livre présente une quarantaine d'extensions conçues par des architectes dans onze pays. Chaque exemple détaille les besoins du client et la solution de l’architecte, ainsi que les principaux obstacles et problèmes rencontrés au cours de la conception et de la réalisation. Les résultats se distinguent par leur diversité et leur ingéniosité, mais tous ont donné une nouvelle vitalité et une valeur ajoutée au bâtiment d’origine. Les études de cas se répartissent en chapitres consacrés à divers types d’extensions suivant leur position : en surélévation, en sous-sol, latéralement ou à l’arrière. L’ouvrage inclut aussi des conseils pratiques pour aider les détenteurs d’une habitation à établir la définition de l’ouvrage, trouver un architecte et réduire les coûts du chantier.

Summary:
The materials used in the construction of single-family residences are increasingly important and on many occasions become the focal point of the construction. Advances in the composition, fabrication and application of materials allows for the creation of structures and forms that were unthinkable just a few decades ago. This volume contains chapters that display residences constructed using materials like metal, glass, wood, stone or concrete. The singularity of these homes is marked by the predominant use of one material, which in turn is linked with the original concept of the house.

Summary:
In this new manifesto, ''People’s Architecture Office'' (PAO) show how low-cost pre-fabricated homes can be used to address homelessness, housing scarcity and gentrification.

This visual and practical guide, full of colourful assembly manuals and graphic novel-style personal stories, calls on architects and urban planners to consider this revolutionary approach, and provides a template for a possible way out of the housing crisis.

Summary:
Veruska Vasconez is a Brazilian architect and academic whose work spans practice, research, and teaching. This volume gathers seventeen voices – architects, historians, practitioners – who illuminate how housing, design, and infrastructure act as mediators for the most urgent challenges of our time. These essays are not isolated reflections but rather interwoven inquiries into architecture’s capacity as a form of social imagination, a vehicle for justice, and a medium for re-envisioning urban futures. The collection emerges from the graduate seminar Housing, Infrastructure, and Transportation at the University of Miami, originally developed by architect Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk.

Summary:
"Extra-ordinary" is edited by Périphériques/IN-EX project, the group of young architects based in Paris who also edited the successful publication "36 Propositions for a Home". The theme which runs through all of the chapters is that of the unusual, the extraordinary found in ordinary architecture. The first chapter consists of a photo documentary by the Parisian art photographer Cécile on so-called "normal" interiors in everyday use. This is followed by a sensational documentation on anonymous architecture in Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand. Anonymous in this context refers to building without an architect, and the topics examined include Do-it-Yourself, the many aspects of the banal and building outside the city. The third chapter presents a selection of mostly unpublished buildings and projects from younger architects who all received an ordinary commission but who all produced extraordinary results.
