Small Houses
Climate change, population growth, scarcity of resources: the hand is pointing to twelve. What do we do? Be inventive and use our brains to make the best of what we have. In 25 countries, grandiose small houses are being built from a maximum of 100 square meters, designed by 57 architects, which are in no way inferior to their big sisters in terms of spectacularity.
