This special issue focuses on architecture and urbanism, with a theme centered around houses. - Title: au Architecture and Urbanism May 2016 Special Issue - Theme: Beginning with the House - Publisher: ADM Publishing Co., Ltd. - Year of Publication: 2016 - Special Note: Special Issue This book explores the residential works presented at the beginning of the careers of 65 contemporary architects from around the world, accompanied by two Q&A sections. Q1. What vision did you have when designing this house? Q2. How has that vision changed over time? Houses, especially for young architects, are an excellent starting point for creating tangible works and expressing their architectural views. The houses included in this book range from complete debut works to those created a few projects into their careers. It examines how these architects, at the time they could materialize their fresh architectural perspectives, observed their surroundings, sought to connect the city, culture, and history with their homes, and how they now view that starting point, having gone on to design larger-scale architecture. Furthermore, the works included span approximately 60 years, and as you explore them, you'll see not only the architects' starting points but also the era in which these houses brought fresh surprises to people. Thank you for viewing.
