Summary:
Figure pionnière et incontournable de la géographie française, Pierre Deffontaines publie ce texte majeur en 1972, peu de temps avant sa mort.Le géographe a alors dans ses bagages de « voyageur actif » d'innombrables lectures, carnets de terrain et dessins sur le vif; de quoi nourrir abondamment plusieurs monographies régionales mais, surtout, donner corps à cet ambitieux volume sur la diversité des hommes au prisme de leur « marque essentielle » : la maison.De branchages ou de pierre, souterraines ou dominantes, bourgeoises ou agraires, groupées ou dispersées… les habitations des cinq continents sont ici répertoriées dans un souci d'exhaustivité et de description méthodique. Toutes spécifiques et adaptées à leur milieu, elles apparaissent sous la plume de ce passionné comme des structures dont la trame répond aux exigences d'ordre physique, économique et symbolique de leurs occupants.Sous-tendu par la conscience d'une uniformisation progressive de l'habitat et de la fin annoncée des modes de vie traditionnels, ce travail de synthèse s'entend comme une entreprise de recueil des principales empreintes humaines avant que ne s'éteigne un monde séculaire.Mais outre un précieux témoignage historique teinté d'ethnographie, les pages illustrées de ce classique de la géographie humaine recèlent entre leurs lignes un enseignement remarquable; une leçon magistrale sur la science, sinon l'art, de l'attentive observation.« La maison est le reflet de la vie des hommes, de leur effort physique, de leur pensée, de leur état social, de leur degré d'évolution. » Pierre Deffontaines

Summary:
Good homes are places where lives unfold, families grow up, dogs jump on sofas, and friends share meals. They’re also spaces to find some solitude—a quiet corner to read a book or have a Saturday afternoon nap. Homes need to do it all—they sustain you, inspire you, and tell your story through architecture, design, and collections. Monocle has always celebrated everything that makes a space a home when covering residences—whether featuring a city hideaway, a modernist seaside residence, or a summer outpost in a forest. The Monocle team brings this all together in one volume that explores individual homes, housing projects old and new, communities of self-builders, even whole neighborhoods where a simple philosophy of building well has created quality of life for many. "The Monocle book of homes" is packed with great photography that delivers the bigger picture and the smallest details alongside fascinating essays full of advice by key thinkers, writers, and designers. As we spend more time at home than ever, this is a book that could change how you live.
