BEACH HOUSES
HOUSES OF ASIA
As Asian cities become more densely populated, dwelling spaces become increasingly smaller and, in some cities an entire apartment may be the size of a single room. The homes featured in this artfully photographed volume may be restricted in square footage, but unlimited in terms of innovation. One apartment, for example, features an efficient arrangement of kitchenette, bathroom, and laundry areas in a space dominated by white, transparent materials for an airy effect.
LATIN AMERICAN HOUSES
Since the early twentieth century, Latin America has been home to some of the most compelling architecture - from the large-scale and otherworldly civic structures of the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer to the more intimate work of Mexico's Luis Barragan. In her new book "Latin American Houses", historian Mercedes Daguerre shows that this tradition of architectural innovation lives on in the work of such contemporary architects as 2006 Pritzker Prize-winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha (Brazil), Mathias Klotz (Chile), Angelo Bucci (Argentina), and LBC Arquitectos (Mexico), among others.Focusing on one-family houses that have been built over the past decade, this lively new title explores the elegance and innovation with which today's Latin American architects evolve their modernist heritage.
