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 shift towards sustainability and reduced environmental impact, as well as a bold challenge to change one's lifestyle. At a time when humanity faces unavoidable pressures, such as climate change, population growth, and dwindling resources, these solutions are helping to shape a vision of what the world could be like in the future.
The world of Tiny Houses can extend from the densely populated urban areas of Tokyo to the wilderness of Australia, from the forests of Canada to the rooftop of a building in Ecuador. The one characteristic they all have in common is a floor area of less than 100 m2. This book travels across 25 countries, including Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, the Netherlands, the United States, Japan, and Australia, showcasing homes designed by 57 architects, including Takeshi Hosaka's Love2 House, Aranza de Ariño's Casa Tiny, the works of Jakub Szczesny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre, among many others. It is not only a journey through the latest developments in design and architectural creativity, but also a step toward a more sustainable world.
