Summary:
Villa de rêve ou modeste, habitation principale ou résidence secondaire, la maison individuelle a toujours eu en France une forte valeur symbolique et affective. C'est aussi un marché potentiel que les architectes s'efforcent aujourd'hui de reconquérir après l'avoir longtemps abandonné aux constructeurs. Sur le plan architectural, au fil de l'histoire, la petite échelle de la maison a favorisé l'éclosion de manifestes comme la villa Savoye, par Le Corbusier, ou la maison de Verre, par Pierre Chareau. Si cet aspect de l'architecture domestique continue à attirer les concepteurs, ils doivent aussi composer avec les contraintes urbaines, budgétaires, techniques et programmatiques qui pèsent le plus souvent sur ce type de commande. On trouvera dans ce livre un choix de 25 maisons récentes, très différentes par leur échelle et leur budget aussi bien que sur le plan esthétique et formel : maisons écologiques, économiques, maisons de ville, extensions, réhabilitations, maisons s'intégrant dans un paysage naturel, en France et à l'étranger.

Summary:
Joseph Eichler was a pioneering developer who defied conventional wisdom by hiring progressive architects to design modernist homes for the growing middle class of the 1950s. He was known for his innovations, including "built-ins" for streamlined kitchen work, for introducing a multipurpose room adjacent to the kitchen, and for the classic atrium that melded the indoors with the outdoors. For nearly twenty years, Eichler Homes built thousands of dwellings in California, acquiring national and international acclaim. Eichler: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream examines Eichler's legacy as seen in his original homes and in the revival of the Modernist movement, which continues to grow today. The homes that Eichler built were modern in concept and expression, and yet comfortable for living. Eichler's work left a legacy of design intergrity and set standards for housing developers that remain unparalleled in the history of American building. This book captures and illustrates that legacy with impressive detail, engaging history, firsthand recollections about Eichler and his vision, and 250 photographs of Eichler homes in their prime.

Summary:
In 1998 Périphériques edited the book ”36 propositions for a home”. The projects resulted from an international competition to design lowpriced single-family houses. Some of the competition entries have since been built and in this new book, the realization of these and similar houses which were designed in the same spirit, has been documented. These buildings are examples of contemporary residential forms, where creative use is made of prefabricated materials, buildings and surroundings are integrated in a highly individual way, and the feeling of spaciousness is emphasized in the designs. Examples from Abalos y Herreros, Atelier Bow-wow, Gallart, Lacaton-Vassal, Lacoste-Stevenson, Marin-Trottin, MVRDV, 2M2N, Paillard- Jumeau, Ricciotti, Tezuka-Tezuka are included and text contributions analyse the basic principles of low-cost building.
