48 int'l residences in color photos,

This review is from: Home (Hardcover)
48 international houses and apartments located in the city, beach, mountains, countryside in hundreds of color photos of the best possible quality showing used materials. All houses are evenly spread between 7 chapters, one of which is separately emphasizing utilizing concrete, stone, brick, metal, wood, light, and recycled materials. The text is minimal, and there is a very few small plans, elevations, sections, and a site plan. The modernistic style and derivatives, and rather warm to hot climates dominate, but there are a few more traditional houses, and a cooler climate is represented as well. The design is excellent.
