Explore over 40 contemporary villas by today's most creative
architects. Their brilliant architectural designs integrate the
built structure and natural environment in open countryside and
urban spaces, realizing ideal places. Villas in deserts, mountains,
and meadows, with seaside or lakeside vistas, and in urban
locations are all revealed in informative text and 560 gorgeous
color photos and plans. Using modern techniques and au courant
design theories, these contemporary villas invite Nature to
participate in the design process, treating light, for example, as
a deliberate design element. All of these highly individualistic
villas deftly blend form and function. Clean-lined interiors eschew
ornamentation, placing emphasis on the exhilarating response to
voluminous space inside and infinite space viewed through walls of
glass that erase the boundary between interior and exterior. This
response cannot be experienced in traditional architecture.
Homeowners, architects, interior designers, and all who are
fascinated by contemporary architecture, with its new regard for
Nature as design partner, will treasure this book.
