Small Structures
Par le lièvre • 17 sept, 2010 • Catégorie: Architecture, Nouveautés •Détails livre
Building on a small-scale is as challenging as it is fascinating for architects and designers. Small, often temporary structures are frequently found at the interface between various design disciplines. Micro-architecture represents experimentation and improvisation and the creation of designs that employ unusual materials and products. It also requires maximum possible precision, because every detail and every function requires particularly careful consideration when space is a rare commodity. The variety of these small, often autonomous structures is particularly astounding, encompassing not only small structures in urban spaces such as kiosks, bus stops, summer houses and versatile pavilions, but also high-tech residential architecture for extraordinary landscapes. Even portable emergency shelters can be striking with their simplicity of structure and function.
Be they everyday, experimental, pioneering, of simple means, efficient, mobile, temporary or permanent, in the end, what matters is finding creative solutions for special locations or where space is limited. Small Structures reveals the broad scope of these small, often charming, necessities.
