Résumé:
Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age, and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Considering the many options for reusing building materials, this book offers a viable alternative to using those manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book is an antidote to the unsustainable use of materials, focusing on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categoriesbrick— timber, metal, and a range of recycled materials— every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture. Featuring twenty-four unique houses and apartments, from a barn-inspired house made entirely with reclaimed bricks to a semidetached Edwardian with recycled benchtops and cabinets made from plastic chopping boards and bottle tops, every project shows what can be achieved with creativity and flair. Reclaimed showcases clever design while celebrating the myriad possibilities of closely aligning building with ethics and sustainability.

Résumé:
All over the world, housing units with miniature formats are en vogue. The trend towards the Tiny House and other micro-living concepts is more than just a short-term hype. The limited available floor space promotes a focus on the necessary, at the same time constituting an attitude towards life, a contemplation and concentration on the essentials in a universal sense. This volume presents a wide variety of sophisticated approaches from every continent. The multitudes of architectural styles, interior design and construction methods show how space can be used most efficiently through intelligent floor plans, cleverly conceived storage solutions and nesting of functions. They highlight in very different ways that great living quality can be wonderfully created in small spaces.

Résumé:
Built in Tokyo in 1961, the Umbrella House is the smallest residential home created by Japanese architect and mathematician Kazuo Shinohara. More than 60 years later, a stroke of good fortune made it possible to save the Umbrella House from demolition and move it to a new location, where it now stands on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The wooden house’s post-and-beam construction references traditional Japanese domestic and temple architecture. Experts from Japan and Europe supervised the dismantling of the house in Tokyo and its reassembly in Weil am Rhein. This concise volume traces the long journey of the Umbrella House, in illustrations including impressions from 1960s Japan, architectural designs and plans, and photographs documenting its dismantling and reassembly at its new location. Texts by Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), Shin-ichi Okuyama and David B. Stewart discuss the Umbrella House against the background of Japanese architectural discourse between 1960 and the present.

Résumé:
''Room 606'' preserves the definitive masterwork of the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen, in microcosm. Room 606 is the only surviving interior of the SAS House; the combined luxury hotel and satellite air terminal that Jacobsen designed for the Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) and completed in 1960. The SAS House was the most complete commission of Jacobsen’s career, in which he exercised the full range of his talents as a designer of furniture, lamps, textiles, gardens, tableware and graphics. As the fragment that encapsulates the basic ideas of the whole building, Room 606 provides a lens for reconstructing Jacobsen’s vanished masterwork in words and images. Richly illustrated with nearly 500 photographs and drawings, this book guides the reader on a virtual tour through the Royal Hotel and SAS Air Terminal as they stood in 1960. Along the way, the author reveals the connections between the SAS House and Jacobsen’s earlier buildings and objects. As a result, the tour that begins in Room 606 provides a general introduction to Jacobsen’s career. Based on his ongoing study of modern Nordic architecture, Michael Sheridan has developed ideas established in his 2003 cult classic- also titled ''Room 606'' and long out of print- to arrive at a fresh perspective on Arne Jacobsen’s life’s work. Using new text and images, Sheridan reveals the essence of Jacobsen’s creative practice, in which he employed technology to heighten the presence of nature.

« Les architectes ne font pas des bâtiments, ils les imaginent et les dessinent. » Cet ouvrage explore des situations qui troublent la frontière entre conception et construction qui met en perspective une valorisation du''faire'' à l'œuvre en architecture à travers différentes pratiques : l’enseignement par la production à l’échelle 1:1, les expérimentations matérielles en situation de construction, le réemploi de matériaux, la fabrication digitale, la construction en terre crue ou encore l'autoconstruction. / ''Architects do not make buildings, they design them. '' This book explores situations which challenge this division between design and construction. It investigates the growing prominence of making architecture through a series of case studies: design-build pedagogies, material experimentations in the design process, the use of reclaimed materials, digital fabrication, the crafts attached to raw-earth construction, or practices of self building.
