Houses In Extreme Places

Sometimes the architect must face a difficult challenge, whether of program, budget, or, as in the cases analysed in this innovative book, location. An extreme plot can become into a valuable project, as an area of difficult access or construction may represent the perfect occasion for showcasing the architect and the ideal opportunity to create an innovative and unique building. During the compilation of these projects, particular emphasis was placed on showing them from different points of view, as well as including detailed, organized information on structural techniques, building procedures and materials employed.
