Continuing the theme of the previous two Small Spaces books, Minimum Spaces Maximum Living M2 by Philip Jodidio, is a new look at a variety of small spaces from around the world that includes not only intriguing small residential projects, but retail, commercial, and other spaces as well. Ingenuity is the common trait that makes all these spaces work, despite their physical constraints. Floor plans, drawings and detailed photographs throw light on the architect's clever and carefully considered responses to the many challenges posed by restricted spaces.

Manuelle Gautrand established her architectural practice in 1991, and has since produced a significant body of work. The firm spans a range of commission types, from domestic housing through to institutional, cultural, industrial and infrastructure projects. Sophistication of design, originality of intent and judicious choice of materials mark the work of Manuelle Gautrand Architects. The modern treatment of program, form and materials provides a refreshing excursion into the possibilities that a creative team of architects can achieve at the turn of the twenty-first century, and is all the more true given that many of the firm's projects have been realised on sites with historic fabrics. This NeoArchitects monograph examines seventeen remarkable projects, built and unbuilt, providing an insight into the workings of a modern European practice.

Making the Most of Small Spaces

With a move to smaller and more flexible living spaces, architects and designers are pushing the parameters of available space. For example, in a bed-sit the lounge might become the bedroom at night, with the kitchen taking shape only when the need arises. This book visits a number of extraordinary homes, from apartments to townhouses. It is testament to the fact that what small spaces may lack in size, they certainly make up for through creative design ideas. It features everything from lofts nestled into warehouse spaces to townhouses hidden in laneways and the localities are often as intriguing as the spaces themselves. Text by Stephen Crafti, a well-known freelance writer who has been published extensively in magazines and newspapers both locally and internationally.

This collection of houses illustrates a splendid diversity of stylistic approaches and range of creativepossibilities. An obvious love of the traditions of architecture is evident in each one — no matter what the historical precedent or geographical location. The common language is decidedly Classical, yet American architect Ken Tate's personal interpretation and intellectual rigours allow each building to stand apart as an individual work of art — beautiful, livable and utterly engaging.

Marg Thornell’s sumptuous photographs transport you from one garden to the next — in locations as diverse as Australia, England, Europe and the United States — and reveal how to make the most of your own garden space. This valuable sourcebook can be used in many ways: from browsing for inspiration with nothing particular in mind to a more purposeful search to help with a particular project on the drawing board.

Peter Gisolfi Associates: Finding the Place of Architecture in the Landscape

Peter Gisolfi is an architect, landscape architect and educator whose substantial design practice extends over 20 years. Most of his work consists of carefully crafted buildings that relate to a larger setting. A variety of public and private projects completed throughout the United States are featured in this first monograph. The projects in this book are organised thematically as landscapes and buildings, gardens and houses, campuses, townscapes, and transformations. The common threads in these projects are that indoor and outdoor spaces are created in harmony with each other, that buildings are placed to define outdoor spaces, and that natural context and man-made context strongly influence the design. From an understanding and response to these factors comes a timeless and permanent architecture.
