Small Houses

Italian edition. A Small House is a tribute to the immense artistic inventiveness of architects and an innovative approach to the perception of familiar and well-known ideas. It is also a conscious turning point towards sustainability and the reduction of environmental impact, as well as a bold challenge to change one's lifestyle. In an era in which humanity faces inevitable pressures, such as climate change, population growth, and resource decline, these solutions are helping to shape a vision of how the world could be in the future.
The world of Small Houses can extend from the high-density urban areas of Tokyo to the wilderness of Australia, from the forests of Canada to the roof of a building in Ecuador. The only feature they all share is a surface area of less than 100 m2. This book covers 25 countries, including Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, the Netherlands, the United States, Japan, and Australia, to illustrate houses designed by 57 architects, including the Love2 House by Takeshi Hosaka, the Casa Tiny by Aranza de Ariño and the works of Jakub Szczesny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG and Fran Silvestre and many other projects. It is not only a journey through the latest developments in design and architectural creativity but also a step towards a more sustainable world.
