Résumé:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is(...)

Résumé:
Very small buildings have a special appeal. The constraints of space and cost can actually liberate the imagination. Most of the projects in this book consist of no more than a few key spaces, in many cases just a single space. They are united only by their compact nature, the pleasure that they can provide, and the intelligence that they embody. A brief introduction is followed by five thematic chapters: Public Realm, Community Spaces, On the Move, Compact Living, and Extra Space. The 53 case studies include a park bench that transforms into a shelter for the homeless in Australia, an inflatable treetop structure for rainforest observation, a portable house for victims of hurricane Katrina, a transportable church in Finland, and a suspended office in France.

Résumé:
L'architecture est tout à la fois l'art le mieux partagé et le plus imposé qui soit. Omniprésente, à portée d'oeil et de main et pourtant souvent indéchiffrable, l'architecture est avant tout écriture, rythme, expression, poésie, création. À cet art se superposent des techniques et des matériaux, des savoirs et des pratiques d'une grande complexité. Création et(...)

Résumé:
L'architecture est tout à la fois l'art le mieux partagé et le plus imposé qui soit. Omniprésente, à portée d'oeil et de main et pourtant souvent indéchiffrable, l'architecture est avant tout écriture, rythme, expression, poésie, création. À cet art se superposent des techniques et des matériaux, des savoirs et des pratiques d'une grande complexité. Création et maîtrise qui, conjuguées, débouchent sur des fonctions et des usages essentiels. Mais ce qui distingue l'architecture de la construction, c'est sa dimension créative, qui en fait un art en perpétuelle évolution, lié aux avancées technologiques, économiques, sociologiques, politiques, philosophiques.

Résumé:
XS Future, the third volume in the successful XS series, focuses on two of today’s most challenging design problems—how to conserve space and help preserve the environment. The houses that are profiled here all represent striking, cost-effective, functional solutions located "at the edge of possibility"—remote locations previously deemed unbuildable, sites that face extreme environmental conditions, or simply, designs so daringly provocative that they are literally at the extremity of contemporary architecture. Each project shares the same basic design brief: build as small and efficiently as possible, harmonize with the site, use natural heating/cooling techniques, and, above all, combine aesthetic beauty with ecological sensitivity.

Résumé:
Ce livre est une célébration des petits édifices, cabanes, kiosques et pavillons que l'on rencontre au détour d'une rue ou d'un chemin. Audacieuses et souvent insolites, ces micro-architectures constituent un ensemble hétéroclite dont le seul dénominateur commun est la petite taille. Étant donné la variété des fonctions et des styles qui les caractérisent, il est clair que la taille n'impose aucune limite à la créativité et que l'utilité n'est pas contradictoire avec la beauté. À travers les projets les plus innovants du moment, "XS" témoigne de l'originalité de ces structures et montre que «penser petit» peut s'avérer un exercice merveilleux et collectif.

Résumé:
Whether representing pioneering spirit, implying large horizons and wide open spaces, or epitomising economic travel with a comfortable change of scenery, camper vans and RVs share a common aspiration: the need to create a ‘home away from home’. This book illustrates the culture, style and philosophy of camper van and RV travel by looking at the owners and their clubs. Stories of road trips, adventures and epic voyages provide an exciting backdrop to the extraordinary history and present status of freewheeling transportation. "Home away from home" explains the cultural and social history of the camper van and RV by looking at a range of phenomena from surf and hippy culture to family holidays and travel in retirement years. A range of iconic vehicles from the VW Bus and the Airstream to the Winnebago will be looked at in detail, within the context of their technical developments as well as the design strategies that dictated their appearances. Finally, "Home away from home" explores future possibilities for independent camper van and RV travel, alongside contemporary approaches to 'compact living'.
