Su questo libro

Recensione:

Published under a single cover is a most wide-ranging presentation of moveable structures. The big and the small, the sensible and the quirky, the rustic and the deluxe, the serious and the entertaining, even the exotic, are offered on the pages of this new book. In the times in which we currently live, these projects some more than others, of course- cannot help but inspire ideas and cause one to ponder the possibilities of an alternative approach to habitation. Now, let us imagine for a moment that everyone lived in a yurt or a tree house. --Anna Sansom in DAMnº, A Magazine on Contemporary Culture
