Single-Family Housing: The Private Domain

Single-Family Housing: The Private Domain by Jaime Salazar and Manuel Gausa (Birkhäuser / ACTAR, 1999) takes an alternative look at individual housing and architectural design of private houses. The authors approach single-family housing as a laboratory for development in typology, form and the relation with the landscape. The book explores the topic through theoretical analysis and an array of contemporary, experimental housing projects. The projects discussed include works by leading architects sculpture as Neil Dinari, Toshiaki Ishida, Lacaton & Vassal, MVRDV, Shigeru Ban, Ben van Berkeley, Foreign Office and many more.
