A book which touches an interessting concept: a home for under 80 000 US Dollars (construction costs and architects fees included)where new approaches, concepts and ideas are put together. Interessting from my point of view, as to how the traditional home might be in a world where things are changing so rapidly. Should architects continue proposing a fixed architecture or a renewable one? Where users of architectural spaces have a higher degree of intervention allowing their expressions to manifest the space which they occupy. This book has 36 prototypes of homes ranging from a DIY Home, a home as a commodity which can travel with you, to the home ( as a living and working space) linked through telecomunications to the outside world. This book is the result of Peripheriques having invited 36 European architects to participate in this assignment, which simultaneously produced an exhibition with the architects models which is currently touring Europe. If you are an architect you will apprecitate the ideas in this book. Enjoy it :)
