In this concise and informative study, Loew provides an historical background to the transformation of new architecture in France and public attitudes towards it.

Great architectural works are not necessarily those that aremeasured by the number of square meters. Creation depends on thespace and the possibilities that it affords.Therefore,architectural work in small spaces is often a challenge in whichone must achieve the seemingly impossible: to turn a small spaceinto a comfortable dwelling in which the lack of living space isnot perceived. The aim of this book is to show those designs that stand out fortheir skill in creating stim-ulating environments in small spaces.This is a complicated task that is not limited to removingpartitions, building mezzanines and incorporating specificfurniture for the needs of the space. A skillful use of a smallspace requires far more: one must also think of the requirementsand the comfort of the clients, and devise an aesthetic design inwhich the architecture can adapt to the restrictions of a limitedfloor area. A total of 22 works show the imaginative force of thedesigns in which small premises can be transformed into co

This book presents a selection of GUND Partnership's recent work, reflecting the firm's continuing commitment to the social and narrative power of architecture. Beginning with a respect for the principles of site and context as form drivers, the projects seek to knit together mission and materials in new ways. Whether an urban or campus intervention or a pristine landscape, the most successful solutions are those that tie into their organizing context. At the same time, these projects acknowledge their surroundings without imitation through a commitment to human scale, as clear conception of space and its progression, and a desire to provide delight through the unexpected. Led by founding partner Graham Gund, FAIA, the office is located in a restored courthouse in Cambridge, Massachusetts, originally designed by Charles Bulfinch. The firm is the recipient of more that 100 regional and national design awards for excellence.

In Bathrooms, Vinny Lee shows you how to achieve bathrooms that are functional as well as being places to relax and rejuvenate.
