内容简介
In this captivating collection of five houses
built in five different Asian-Pacific countries, Argentinian-born
designer Ernesto Bedmar explores his fascination with traditional
architectural styles and reinvents them for the contemporary world.
Using his deep understanding of the histories and building cultures
of these regions, Bedmar seamlessly knits his designs into the
collective memory of each site. The five houses in India, Thailand,
Singapore, Indonesia and New Zealand demonstrate the flexibility of
the designers trademark tropical architecture and showcase a
diverse set of modern forms that resonate deeply with the local
landscape and make use of water as a unifying and harmonizing
element. The book contains a wealth of drawings and plans that
detail the innovative construction techniques, and the resulting
houses are captued in a breathtaking series of photographs showing
the use of spaces and materials as well as spectacular sites on
which they sit.
