| Περίληψη: | "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.
