Summary:
Twenty-five recent residential projects from around the United States take the concept of “green living” to the next architectural level. Going beyond the simple use of sustainable materials, these houses are designed to frame a very particular vision of nature for their owners that brings them as close as possible to nature while remaining indoors. Featured are dynamic designs by today's most energetic architectural firms including ARO, Tod Williams/Billie Tsien, Diller Scofidio + Renfro as well as up-and-coming smaller firms. Houses vary in scale, complexity, and site to give a broad survey of the potential of this cutting-edge approach.

Prefab offers a glimpse into the history of prefabricated housing over the last century, revealing alternatives to the status quo. Arguably, these houses failed to capture the public imagination because of their emphasis on mass-production. Today, Arieff writes, prefabrication is embracing the concept of mass-individualization. Instead of cookie-cutter homes designed for anonymous residents, the potential now exists for affordable, well-designed homes that utilize the positive aspects afforded by factory production while also addressing the needs of the individual. Prefab features the work of over 25 contemporary architects and designers who are exploring the myriad possibilities that prefabrication offers for housing for the future.

This book on urban design extends and develops the widely accepted 'compact city' solution. It provides a design proposal for a new kind of sustainable urban landscape: Urban Agriculture. By growing food within an urban rather than exclusively rural environment, urban agriculture would reduce the need for industrialized production, packaging and transportation of foodstuffs to the city dwelling consumers. The revolutionary and innovative concepts put forth in this book have potential to shape the future of our cities quality of life within them. Urban design is shown in practice through international case studies and the arguments presented are supported by quantified economic, environmental and social justifications.

Summary:
For several years, architect Zhang Ke has been exploring alternative perspectives on the hutongs, considering them as living organisms and studying them both in micro scale units and as macro scale infrastructures. His goal is to show how traditional courtyard properties can be adapted for the 21st century to fulfill their potential as generators of community spaces and catalysts of social interaction. The result is a series of architectural interventions that breathe new life into these historic residential neighbourhoods while preserving the significant monument value of these unique cultural artifacts. With the exhibition and catalogue "YING-ZAO: Hutong Metabolism+", Chinese architect Zhang Ke and his firm ZAO/standardarchitecture present a series of realised projects related to this topic.

Dan Rubinstein and the editors of the Amsterdam-based magazine have selected projects on five continents that will shape how we think of domestic life for a long time to come. Where the great experimenters of the last century were stripping away ornamentation and creating free-flowing spaces for the first time, today’s pioneers are researching the potential of new materials and techniques to push the boundaries of environmental sustainability, as well as creating new forms and bold, sophisticated explorations in the adaptive reuse of spaces originally designed for any number of other purposes.

Summary:
Situated on the shore of the Lake Zurich, Le Corbusier's exhibition pavilion is his last realised design. Based on his Modulor proportional system and at the scale of a single-family home, it demonstrates the potential of prefabricated elements to form a perfect space for art and design. Commissioned in 1960 by Heidi Weber, Zurich-based gallery owner and patron of Le Corbusier the visual artist, this structure in steel and glass represents pivotal aspects of his architectural philosophy and also points to the future. Architects Silvio Schmed and Arthur Ruegg have carefully restored the Pavillon Le Corbusier to its original state, including the reconstruction of missing pieces of furniture and luminaires. This book documents their research and the restored building, featuring previously unpublished historic photographs and documents alongside newly commissioned images by Georg Aerni.
