Product Details
- Over the years, talented architects have occasionally indulged themselves with the challenge of designing small but perfectly formed buildings. Today, with reduced budgets, many architects have turned in a more focused way to creating works that may be diminutive in their dimensions, but are definitely big when it comes to trendsetting ideas. Whether in Japanese cities, where large sites are hard to come by, or at the frontier between art and architecture, small buildings present many advantages, and push their designers to do more with less.A dollhouse for Calvin Klein in New York, a playhouse for children in Trondheim, vacation cabins, and housing for victims of natural disasters are all part of the new rush to develop the great small architecture of the moment. The 2013 Pritzker Prize winner Toyo Ito is here, but so are emergent architects from Portugal, Chile, England, and New Zealand. From world-famous names to the freshest new talent, come discover architectural invention on a whole new, small scale.About the seriesBibliotheca Universalis — Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe!

Architecture Editorial Review
**** The reviews of "Small Architecture" unveil a customer experience that skews positively, especially among design enthusiasts and those studying architecture. Parents have expressed delight, with one noting that their son, pursuing a career in architecture, found immense joy and inspiration in the book’s portrayal of "Small Houses." The book’s appeal lies in its collection of diverse examples of small architecture from various global contexts, making it an intriguing resource for individuals interested in innovative designs. Several reviews applaud the beautiful photography, making the book a visually stimulating experience. It has been described as a lovely gift for anyone contemplating building a tiny house, which underscores its broad appeal beyond just design professionals. However, some users express a desire for more comprehensive information regarding the featured projects. There is a sentiment that while the images inspire, additional details like simple floor plans would better serve readers looking to apply the ideas to their own small building projects. One reviewer pointed out that the book might seem more fitting for architects showcasing their work rather than for typical readers seeking practical guidance. Overall, while "Small Architecture" is celebrated for its stunning visual content and creative concepts, it can feel somewhat lacking in practical application for those looking for direct inspiration or actionable ideas in small building design. **

“I ordered the Flowtime Biofeedback Headband from Ubuy. I reside in South Africa. I was very impressed with the ease of purchase, parcel tracking, and speed of service. My package arrived much earlier than anticipated. I am very impressed with the service and would highly recommend it. Hence the 5 stars.”

“I bought Huckberry Flint & Tinder blazer at Ubuy. My request for a return was rejected at first but later I received an apology message willing to resolve the matter without placing any burden on me. I really appreciate their resolution. The blazer was collected yesterday by DHL couriers on behalf of Ubuy. They can only do a refund and not offer a bigger size as i expected, but i am fine with that too. ”
