Summary:
Ce sont des visites, parfois inédites. de maisons réalisées par des architectes des années 1920 à nos jours, à Paris et en région parisienne, que propose ce bel ouvrage, préfacé par Claude Parent. On pourra ainsi découvrir ou redécouvrir la maison-atelier Ozenfant de Le Corbusier, la maison-atelier pour Chana Orloff des frères Perret ou la maison-atelier Bachelet d'André Lurçat villa Seurat, dans le 14e arrondissement, l'hôtel Martel de Robert Mallet-Stevens dans le 16e, la maison André Bloc et la maison numéro 7 de Jean Prouvé à Meudon, ou encore la maison-agence de Christophe Lab dans le 19e ou la maison Trapèze de Louis Paillard à Montreuil. Qu'elles soient historiques ou contemporaines, toutes ces réalisations illustrent l'art de vivre dans une maison d'architecte. Car cet ouvrage entend offrir un regard nouveau sur la vie domestique qui s'est installée dans ces maisons remarquables, que nous connaissons souvent à travers des photos exemptes de vie humaine. Les habitants de ces lieux qui ont accepté de jouer le jeu, nous ont ouvert leurs portes et raconté leurs histoires, toujours singulières.

Summary:
This publication presents projects in recent years in Japan, which respond to the need for new forms of housing. The architects are developing solutions that allow residents to live together but still maintain enough distance and privacy. The presented apartment types and their layout allow for a variety of life models. Particularly interesting here is the use of spaces that provide a gradual transition from public to private space - an approach to building that, according to experts, could revolutionize western residential architecture. The publication portrays these new forms of building and living based on prominent Japanese examples that include Shigerun Ban, Sou Foujimoto, and SANAA.

Summary:
Everyman's Castle restores people to the panorama of domestic architecture. Philippa Lewis turns an affectionate eye to the characteristics of British types of houses - cottages, farmhouses, semi-detached, suburban, flats, terraces, bungalows, country houses - and charts their rise and fall. How were they perceived when they were built, and what happened to them subsequently? How were the interior spaces used and altered over time? This books provides insight to all these questions, even what sort of message the design of a house sends about the inhabitants, from stairs up to the front door (implying servants living below) in a Victorian terrace to bay windows (implying private ownership) in the twentieth century.
