FAMILY HOUSES
Making houses that are liveable. "Family Houses" presents a compilation of examples of the emerging residential architecture, which are linked by the manner in which they propose innovative and experimental solutions. Refinement in the selection of finishes, restraint in the distribution of rooms, and pains taken in integrating these spaces into their surroundings represent just some of the skills exercised by their designers.
MOORISH ARCHITECTURE IN...
Spain owes her special historical position in Europe very largely to her intensive encounter with the Orient. In the summer of 710, a small force under the command of a Berber named Tarîf ibn Mâlik landed to the west of Gibraltar. The Islamic armies that followed in its wake succeeded in conquering large areas of Spain within a short span of years. The conquerors gave the country the name of al-andalus. Thus began a period of cultural permeation that was to last for almost 800 years.
