The Cohousing Handbook
The Cohousing Handbook
Cohousing offers an end to the isolation of the single-family suburban home. Balancing community and personal privacy, cohousing is a chance to create a modern village in an urban or rural setting. Residents own their own homes and can gather in common areas to share meals and socialize. An increasingly popular form of housing in both Europe and North America, cohousing addresses and alleviates many of the demands and pressures of modern life-everything from day care to aging at home is easier with the help of your neighbors.
As pioneers in the development of cohousing in North America, Chris and Kelly ScottHanson offer individuals and new groups a wealth of information and practical hints on how the process works. The Cohousing Handbook covers every element that goes into the creation of a cohousing project, including group processes, land acquisition, finance and budgets, construction, development professionals, design considerations, permits, approvals and membership. This revised and updated edition includes an expanded marketing chapter, as well as a foreword by Gifford Pinchot.
A source of comfort and inspiration for those who want to create their ideal community, The Cohousing Handbook is a groundbreaking and practical guide to building a better society one neighborhood at a time-a must-have for the growing number of people who want to create a cohousing community.

New Concepts in Apartment Buildings
New Concepts in Apartment Buildings
english / file DJVU
Apartment architecture has come a long way since the days when functionality took precedence over aesthetic conditions. Today, the two concepts go hand in hand. Each project in this volume goes that extra step beyond meeting basic requirements to providing qualities which add texture and beauty to daily life. As but one example: the building with entire facades of double layers of glass encasing living plants within. Photos, texts, ground plans and construction details all help provide thorough understanding of each project.

Private Mansions
Ouvrage trilingue (FR/ANGL/NL)
File : Djvu
Aux siècles passés, les citoyens nantis et autres notables ont fait
bâtir de prestigieuses maisons de maître, généralement le long des
boulevards des grandes villes, où les arbres poussent en nombre.
À
partir du XIXe siècle, de nombreuses avenues furent conçues,
conformément au modèle urbanistique introduit à Paris par Haussmann,
comme un large axe parfaitement rectiligne flanqué d’imposantes maisons
de maître arborant des façades classiques.
Ces façades
dissimulaient très souvent des décors opulents composés de cheminées
en marbre monumentales, des parquets en chêne et sols en pierre
naturelle, des ouvrages ornementaux en stuc, etc.
Au XXIe siècle, ces maisons de maître exclusives sont de précieux témoignages de notre riche passé architectural.
Les
reportages de cet ouvrage nous montrent cependant que ces maisons de
maître n’ont rien perdu de leur actualité : des architectes et
décorateurs d’intérieur contemporains restaurent ces bâtisses avec un
respect absolu pour les éléments architecturaux authentiques, tout en
apportant les adaptations nécessaires qu’impose notre style de
vie moderne. Le nouveau et l’ancien y sont toujours confrontés de
manière fascinante.

How to build your own underground home
How to build your own underground home
"Prehistoric man became the first underground home dweller by taking refuge from the extreme elements in caves. Even though materials and methods have advanced drastically, I will be the first to admit the subterranian home building has not appealed to the masses of modern times. Its concept is just as logical today as it was back in time, but the catalysts today are financial and ecological because of the continually rising costs and increasing shortages of fuel and electricity. The following is my method of constructing a comfortable, modern geothermic home.....Ray G. Scott"

That the projects vary so widely is indicative of the enormous variety and originality in the talent and design direction of architects from 'Down Under'. Although the featured projects are diverse in size, location, use, ambience, budget and taste, they are linked by some sommon themes, allowing them to be grouped into a loosely defined 'Down Under' aesthetic. Flipping through the pages of this beautiful coffee-table book, you will agree that the architects and designers of Australia and New Zealand have much to be proud of.

This issue of Space focuses on all kinds of restaurants from different parts of the world. The restaurants are a visual treat so that we enjoy a riot of colours; an exciting balance of light and dark or pools of glowing soft lights; and sleek or tactile finishes. We can just imagine the excited crowds, or intimate patrons, that these restaurants attract, and the heady aromas that waft!
After going through these designs, you will notice a common thread. Designers the world over are showing a greater concern for the environment. The modern ethic is to salvage and re-use. Discarded (and sometimes even lowly) objects such as Y sockets find a new lease of life as chandeliers. It’s not the collection of designer objects that ensures success but rather how the designer carefully brings diverse elements together.
Designers are forever asked what inspires them. The answer to that is just about everything - movies, books, painting, periods of time in history, location! What is unusual this year is that in Hong Kong/ China, at least three projects were inspired by the humble egg.
