Descripción de la solapa
The return to nature and a more natural "Asian" aesthetic in house design has greatly accelerated in recent decades. The typical house has transformed from a rigidly conceived structure with a set floor plan and standardized building methods to a structure with an open plan, emphasis on natural materials in harmony with the site, and greater transparency between indoor and outdoor space. This integration has strong appeal for those looking for alternatives to Western home standards. More than a healthy trend to bring a natural aesthetic into the home, this shift in perspective confirms a greater environmental awareness. The increasing emphasis on the ecology of house design represents an important response to significant environmental concerns. The urgency of these concerns has compelled architects to think more creatively about sustainable, site-sensitive design solutions in the interests of promoting global well-being. The New Asian Home features twenty-three of the most interesting and innovative Asian home designs, including not only custom-built homes but more modest, handcrafted structures by master craftsmen, as well as affordable modular homes. They are built in beautiful private locations-in the midst of the woods, on the shores of the ocean, high on a mountain ridge-special places designed to provide refuge from the cares and eyes of the world. Let this book be a guide to create a sustainable sanctuary of your own home.
Kendra Langeteig works as a freelance writer. Her rich experience in the arts as literary critic, literature professor, amateur painter and musician encouraged her appreciation for architectural forms, especially the modernist and Asian-inspired designs she writes about. She lives in Colorado.
