Summary:
Are small homes going to be the new norm? By mid-century, a large number of people will be living by themselves, meaning it is time the building industry gave small homes more attention. In the Dutch city of Almere, BouwEXPO Tiny Housing launched an open ideas competition in 2016. The winners built sixteen permanent and greatly varied houses at one location in the city, all of which are actually lived in today. The houses naturally serve as inspiration for small dwellings elsewhere, whether on vacant lots, as infill, on a roof, or in completely new neighbourhoods. This book offers an in-depth reportage on the entire design, funding, and building process of the awarded small homes.

Summary:
One of the difficulties about reexamining the subject of realism lies in the passage from the initial idea of magical realism to the concept of new objectivity. Actually it is possible to return to the initial notion, elaborating the concept of marvelous reality which with that idea of a mixture of the real and the fantastic seeks to maintain something of the heroic and(...)

Summary:
One of the difficulties about reexamining the subject of realism lies in the passage from the initial idea of magical realism to the concept of new objectivity. Actually it is possible to return to the initial notion, elaborating the concept of marvelous reality which with that idea of a mixture of the real and the fantastic seeks to maintain something of the heroic and the sublime. The realistic way of preserving the sublime that, in defiance of the 'real' world, succeeds in living that illusion: this is the direction in which we want to interpret the symptoms of a return of the real in architecture. In short magical realism does not make us long for normality, but invites us to look beyond every norm hidden by conventions.

In this text, Wilde uses his decadent ideology in an attempt to reverse and therefore reject his audiences' 'normal' conceptualizations of nature, art and morality.

Summary:
"The decay of lying" includes two of Wilde’s most comprehensive–and witty–explorations of his aesthetic philosophy: "The decay of lying" and "The critic as artist." In this text, Wilde uses his decadent ideology in an attempt to reverse and therefore reject his audiences' 'normal' conceptualizations of nature, art and morality. Wilde's views of life and art are illustrated through the use of Platonic dialogue where the character Vivian takes on the persona of Wilde. Wilde's goal is to subvert the norm by reversing its values. Wilde suggests to us that society is wrong, not him. Calling on diverse examples - from Ancient Greek sculpture to contemporary paintings - Oscar Wilde's brilliant essay creates a witty, paradoxical world in which the only Art worth loving is that built on complete untruths.

He founded Tato Architects in 1997 - the name Tato being derived from the decomposition of the kanji character “outside,” which can be read in multiple ways: "outside" or "outsider", referencing to his status as an architect without formal architecture training and who creates work that stands outside of the norm. His body of work comprises a great number of residential projects, which are thoroughly explored in this monograph. The book features 22 houses—from House in Rokko to House in Shoji—all in Japan except for one project in Australia. Characterised by openness, dynamic spatial layouts, and integrated furnishings and stairs, Shimada’s designs are at once efficient and alluring, embracing the everyday in an aesthetically pleasant and refined manner.

Now firmly established as one of the world’s greatest photographers, Saul Leiter (1923–2013) was relatively little known until the 2006 publication of "Saul Leiter: Early Color", when he was already in his eighties. Choosing to shoot in color when black and white was the norm, Leiter portrayed midcentury New York’s street life with a gorgeous painterliness that evoked the sensuality of his Abstract Expressionist contemporaries Rothko and Newman. His studio in the East Village, where he lived from 1952 until his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation, which has commenced a full-scale survey of his more than 80,000 works. This volume contains works discovered through this project—specifically, color photography from slides never before published or seen by the public.
