Review: "Small Houses begins with an introduction that explores in detail the social and historical background behind compact housing in the twentieth century. This is followed by 37 illustrated case studies that represent some of the best examples of small houses built worldwide within the past five years or so. Plan areas are around 100 square metres (1000 square feet) or less and each project embodies a particular design approach towards compact accommodation. The case studies are organized into three chapters - Rural Retreats; Urban and Suburban Bases; and Small Clusters and Multiples - and include work by such architects as Toyo Ito, Lacaton & Vassal, LOT/EK and Kazuyo Sejima."--BOOK JACKET.
