After concluding his studies in 1990, Farré founded his own architecture firm, Farré Arquitectos, working in different fields over the years while maintaining its essence. The firm’s work includes renovations of the Centro Asturiano, a private club in Mexico City; chapels; and public squares. In addition, Farré Arquitectos has built well over 200 homes and more than 50 restaurants that are still standing today. Antonio Cordero Galindo is a Mexican author who is passionate about history.

This volume illustrates vividly the current collaboration between modern architecture, contemporaneous inner design, committed landscaping and environmental responsibility. It is an innovating book which presents ecological and sustainable dwellings; residences which add the sustainable design at the service of the quality design, as a premise on equal terms to sustainability. Each project is presented through a vast full-color photography collection, maps, details, schemes and diagrams of the solutions provided; ideas created by architects who are environmental conscious who have achieved practical, surprising and innovating solutions, adapting the program and the tastes and needs of their clients to the environment.

The books aim to gather the best of what has been done in residential architecture at the beginning of the new century and serve as inspiration material for anyone looking for ideas to transform their own home.

The award-winning designer and author of Rooms showcases inspiring opportunities for the exteriors, interiors, and details of houses in this lavishly photographed book

Celebrated designer Mariette Himes Gomez believes that a house becomes a home only when it is infused with personal touches, when its individual parts flow together logically, and when it assumes a warm and welcoming character. In Houses, Gomez begins by inviting readers to consider the many elements that unify a house. She reveals how each detail-from the doors, fireplaces, and staircase, to the more conceptual elements of balance, color, and movement-contribute to the home's overall aesthetic, and how each can be combined to create a certain effect. She provides practical guidelines for building, buying, or renovating to create the perfect home, while illustrating how to instill flow and harmony in your overall design. Subscribing to the philosophy that less is more, Gomez reveals how to create homes of unparalleled beauty and grace.

Projects in this book not only present impactive forms by application of eco-technology, structural distortion and twisting, but also change our mind for traditional architectural forms, which stimulate designers to reconsider new housing architecture forms.

46 international projects in this book all provide specific information, such as locations, areas, design concepts, renderings, floor plans, sections and models, showing the latest design trend of international housing architecture.

Affordable housing is an enduring political challenge. Cities have endeavoured to set international standards for this important field of architecture since the 1920s. Planners must work within a socially motivated tradition to find exemplary solutions both at the political and architectural level. This building catalogue documents over 130 residential buildings dedicated to affordable housing. It presents floor plans, large photos, key data, and clear diagrams, providing a comprehensive overview of the solutions being tested today.

The publication is rounded off with ten affordable housing concepts that were designed as part of the Housing for All competition, organised by the Frankfurt Department of Planning and Housing, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, and ABG Frankfurt Holding. Renowned architecture practices based in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France were invited to submit design concepts for building sites in the Hilgenfeld area of Frankfurt. These concepts will reignite the contemporary discourse on affordable housing – in Frankfurt and beyond.

Доступное жилье – один из важнейших вопросов политической повестки во всем мире. Еще с 1920-х годов города стремятся установить международные стандарты в этой области архитектуры. Чтобы разработать высококачественные и легкоинтегрируемые типовые решения в рамках системы социальной поддержки граждан, градостроители должны работать одновременно и на политическом, и на архитектурном уровнях. Данное издание документирует более 130 жилых зданий, относящихся к категории доступного жилья. В книгу включены поэтажные планы, крупноформатные фотографии, ключевые параметры и понятные диаграммы. Она представляет широкий круг проектов, реализуемых и тестируемых сегодня.

Публикация дополнена десятью концепциями доступного жилья, которые были разработаны в рамках конкурса «Жилье для всех», организованного Франкфуртским Департаментом жилищного строительства и планирования, Немецким архитектурным музеем и ABG Frankfurt Holding. К участию в конкурсе были приглашены известные архитектурные бюро из Германии, Австрии, Швейцарии, Нидерландов и Франции. Им было предложено представить свои концепции для определенных участков в районе Хильгенфельд во Франкфурте-на-Майне. Эти проекты призваны дать новый импульс современной дискуссии о доступном жилье.
