Il s'interroge aussi sur ce qu'une architecture "verte" peut apporter à l'environnement Ouvrage très utile pour aborder de petits projets d'architectures où l'on peut aborder une série d'expérimentation dans le domaine des structures (structure métallique, bois, béton...), et qui donne un vaste éventail d'approches innovantes.

Abstract

Above presents attic and loft conversions, showing how to work within rooflines, sightlines and ideosyncratic spaces. Behind investigates back extensions and conservatories and suggests how to improve links to the garden, bring the outdoors in or add new architectural statements. Beside examines side extensions, considering smaller, transitional spaces that improve the flow of older or vertical floor layouts, or admit more light into a dark house. Below looks at basements and subterranean levels, revealing how to make the best of restricted space and limited natural light. Around tackles interventions at different points in a house, when extending a property is not simply a question of adding a room to the roof, side or basement. A section at the back of the book focuses on materials - concrete, glass, wood - and building details - windows, stairs, floorlights - for the creative homeowner.

Abstract

What does it mean to be green? This book, a follow-up to the cult hit XS, is a celebration of idiosyncratic small buildings, and asks what we mean by building ‘green’ and how doing so enriches the world around us.The projects here are not only about building well, but about seeing well. They embrace the spectrum of small structures from traditional nature huts and ornamental follies, to the charmingly surreal. Buildings that look after people can also be the ones that look after the earth.

Abstract

L'une des philosophies de conception les plus puissantes de ces dernières années a été la notion de l'architecte Glenn Murcutt selon laquelle les bâtiments devraient «toucher légèrement la terre». Aujourd'hui, le changement climatique, les nouveaux matériaux et l'utilisation restreinte des terres ont donné une nouvelle impulsion pour trouver des solutions légères pour nos habitations. Les 40 maisons réunies ici par Phyllis Richardson - auteur de la série XS à succès et Nano House - nous montrent que les bâtiments peuvent peser moins et avoir un impact minimal sur leur environnement, et que cette légèreté - visuelle, matérielle, écologique - peut créer de belles maisons éthérées qui offrent de nouveaux modes d'habitation naturels et une plus grande communion avec notre environnement. "One of the most powerful design philosophies of recent years has been architect Glenn Murcutt's notion that buildings should 'touch the earth lightly.' Today, climate change, new materials, and restricted land use have given fresh impetus to find lightweight solutions for our dwellings. The 40 houses gathered here by Phyllis Richardson-- author of the highly successful XS series and Nano House-- show us that buildings can weigh less and have minimal impact on their environments, and that this lightness-- visual, material, ecological-- can create beautiful, ethereal homes that offer new, natural modes of habitation and greater communion with our surroundings."--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

One of the most influential design philosophies of the past 25 years has been Glenn Murcutt's dictum that buildings should touch the earth lightly. While architects have always sought to liberate architecture from its solid foundations through the use of new materials and spatial reconfigurations, climate change, new materials and restricted land use have given new impetus to finding lightweight solutions for our homes. Superlight houses combine two strands of thinking: that lightweight buildings have less impact on their environments, and that this lightness (visually, materially, ecologically) can lead to more open living and greater communion with their surroundings. Each of the 41 houses presented here is shown through photographs, plans and lucid explanations. Residences that appear to float, ingenious constructions using local materials, innovative structures, inflatable spaces, high-tech hyper-intelligent houses superlight takes many forms, in many places from the urban jungle of Tokyo to rural China and mountainous Chile.

New sacred architecture.
