Book excerpt: Small houses are no longer synonymous with cheap houses and lack of privilege. Instead, they symbolize a range of culturally coded values: compactness, efficiency, discrimination, discreteness, minimalism. Opening with a detailed exploration of the social and historical background behind compact housing in the twentieth century, this book goes on to feature 37 illustrated case studies that represent some of the best examples of small houses built worldwide within the past decade. Plan areas range from 7 to 150 square metres (75 to 1615 square feet) and each project embodies a particular design approach towards compact accommodation. The case studies are organized into three chapters - Rural Retreats; Urban and Suburban Bases; and Small Clusters and Multiples - and include work by such architects as Toyo Ito, Lacaton & Vassal, LOT/EK and Kazuyo Sejima.

Book Synopsis Village of the Small Houses by : Ian Ferguson
Download or read book Village of the Small Houses written by Ian Ferguson and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1959, just one step ahead of the law, Ian Ferguson’s parents left the sophisticated big-city life of Edmonton and ended up in Fort Vermilion, 846 km due north. It was meant to be a temporary move. Ian’s father lasted ten years before he made his escape; his mother remained until recently. Fort Vermilion, once a fur-trapping frontier town, was predominantly aboriginal, the third poorest community in Canada. Like their neighbours, the Ferguson kids—Ian and his six brothers and sisters—grew up without indoor plumbing, central heating or electricity. Living closer to the Arctic Circle than to the American border, without the influences of television or radio, Canada was a dream to them, as faraway and exotic as England or Australia. Beginning with the dramatic events surrounding his birth—including a paddlewheel ferry heading for destruction, a legendary rowboat trip, and a life-and-death race against time—Ferguson moves on to recreate adventures involving loophole ceremonies, life-saving encounters with indigenous medicines, tea dances, stolen hockey sticks and a boy lost in the woods. Funny with sad bits–and sometimes the other way around—The Village of Small Houses is an unforgettable story that lives, as Ferguson says, somewhere between Angela’s Ashes and Who Has Seen the Wind.

Download or read book Small Houses written by Claudia Hildner and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-21 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanischer Wohnbau faszinierte und fasziniert ganze Architektengenerationen. Gerade die kleinen, sehr konzeptionellen Einfamilienhäuser zeigen neben stringent umgesetzten Wohnkonzepten die grosse Experimentierfreudigkeit in Bezug auf Raumkonstellationen und Materialien und die Fähigkeit auch den kleinsten Raum zu organisieren. Sie sind wie Minilabore, die die Kreativität japanischer Architekten ebenso deutlich zeigen, wie den Umgang mit dem Ephemeren und den vielfältigen Ebenen der Abgrenzung zwischen öffentlich und privat. Durch die Schnelllebigkeit der japanischen Städte entsteht ein riesiger Architekturfundus für den Westen, den Small Houses dokumentiert und dem Leser gleichzeitig die japanische Kultur zugänglicher macht. Kleine Häuser stellt japanische Wohnhausarchitektur vor und richtet sich an Architekten, Innenarchitekten, Studenten und interessierte Laien. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Präsentation kleiner Häuser, vorwiegend Einfamilienhäuser. Die Auswahl der Projekte stellt eine Mischung namhafter Architekten, wie zum Beispiel Tezuka Architects oder Atelier Bow-Wow dar, zeigt aber auch ausserhalb Japans noch wenig bekannte Büros. Zu den einzelnen Projekten gibt es Vertiefungen, die dem Leser den kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Kontext sowie den spezifisch japanischen Umgang mit bestimmten Architekturelementen nahebringen. Auf die Darstellung von Details, die in der Regel ausserhalb Asiens keine Relevanz haben, wird verzichtet. Der Fokus liegt auf dem realisierten Wohnkonzept, das mittels Bild- und Übersichtsplänen (Grundrisse, Schnitte) dargestellt wird.

Book excerpt: An emotionally charged story about the power of dreams, and how passion can turn to obsession. Beck hates his life. He hates his violent mother. He hates his home. Most of all, he hates the piano that his mother forces him to play hour after hour, day after day. He will never play as she did before illness ended her career and left her bitter and broken. But Beck is too scared to stand up to his mother, and tell her his true passion, which is composing his own music - because the least suggestion of rebellion on his part ends in violence. When Beck meets August, a girl full of life, energy and laughter, love begins to awaken within him and he glimpses a way to escape his painful existence. But dare he reach for it? Thrilling and powerfully written, this is an explosive debut for YA readers which tackles the dark topic of domestic abuse in an ultimately hopeful tale.
Download or read book BIG little house written by Donna Kacmar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the challenges architects face when designing dwelling spaces of a limited size? And what can these projects tell us about architecture – and architectural principles – in general? In BIG little house, award-winning architect Donna Kacmar introduces twenty real-life examples of small houses. Each project is under 1,000 square feet (100 square meters) in size and, brought together, the designs reveal an attitude towards materiality, light, enclosure and accommodation which is unique to minimal dwellings. While part of a trend to address growing concerns about minimising consumption and lack of affordable housing, the book demonstrates that small dwellings are not always simply the result of budget constraints but constitute a deliberate design strategy in their own right. Highly illustrated and in full-colour throughout, each example is based on interviews with the original architect and accompanied by detailed floor plans. This ground-breaking, beautifully designed text offers practical guidance to any professional architect or homeowner interested in small scale projects.
