The loft, which originally constituted a type of clandestine life, has become a concept applicable to large, renovated spaces, where the existing structure has been incorporated into everyday architecture. Consequently, old factories, storage areas and warehouses are being transformed to create homes and offices, or commercial studios and shops. The original architecture of these spaces is characterized by the use of materials such as concrete, aluminum, marble and wood, with smooth walls and large doors and windows. The decoration in lofts emphasizes simplicity, adaptability and functionality to create open-plan spaces, with separate rooms being formed using folding screens, medium-height walls or simply pieces of furniture

The materials used in the construction of single-family residences are increasingly important and can even become the focal point of the construction. Advances in the composition, fabrication and application of materials allow for the creation of structures and forms that were unthinkable just a few decades ago. This volume displays residences constructed using metal, glass, wood, stone and concrete. What sets these homes apart is the predominant use of one material, a design decision arising from the original concept of the house. The book is organised into sections by the material concerned. Each project is explained with detailed plans, images and descriptive text.

Collective housing has played a major role in the architectural advances of the last century, in the process provoking its fair share of controversy, admiration and disapprobation. While apartment blocks may be seen as more or less fashionable according to the prevailing wind, the decline of the nuclear family and the manifestation of new models of cohabitation have confirmed their value as high-density housing that can limit sprawl and allow for significant aesthetic expression.With other pertinent issues including sustainability and the built environment's carbon footprint, as well as urban cohesiveness, social living is right back on the agenda.

NEW PREFAB ARCHITECTURE

This book presents examples of prefabricated architecture in a contemporary context, with particular emphasis on the most ecologically sound projects.

This results in a diminishing ecological footprint, and in the case of housing may indicate the optimum balance between the module's size and estimated life usage time. The book also shows various forms of ephemeral architecture such as stands, mobile offices and pavilions, as well as situational architecture and public installations.
