    This review is from: Houses: Modern Natural/Natural Modern (Hardcover)

    A fine collection of 21st century houses from Asia, Europe, South America and the USA which employ various strategies to achieve an intimate and respectful relationship with nature. The use of traditional house forms with a twist; rustic materials; juxtaposition of the rustic and the machine made; softer takes on the modernist pavilion, as well as other innovative approaches are showcased.

    The presentation does full justice to the architecture. Each of the 29 houses is covered in its own 6 to 12 page chapter. Along with informative text, plans and variously elevations, sections, axonometric or exploded views illustrate each house. The spectacular color photos are generously sized: most often covering the entire page, occasionally spanning two full pages and, on pages containing multiple images, never sized at less than 5 inches square.

    Plenty of inspiration here for the nature loving professional and layman alike. My highest recommendation!
