"In European House Now, Susan Doubilet and Daralice Boles showcase current trends in domestic design as represented by extraordinary projects from across the European continent, where contemporary architecture is thriving.

"Beautiful exterior and interior photographs, plans, and sections of each house are accompanied by individual essays and captions. Together with the introduction they provide a meditation on the meaning of domestic space, as privacy and individuality become both more relaxed and more scarce."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

As in the first volume, we have continued to define the word "architect" very broadly, so as to include planners, theorists, structural engineers, and landscape architects whose work seems to be central to the enterprise of creating habitable spaces in our day." --Editor's note.
Christoph Mäckler's architecture is distinguished by its reconciliation of tradition and modernity. This is the first monograph on this leading contemporary German architect.
