Review: Archetecture in 1990s

For economic, technological and historical reasons the period between 1985 and 1995 will be remembered as one of fundamental change in art and architecture. The 1980s were of course a time of economic excess, when "Golden Boys" ruled the financial markets, and record prices were paid even for insignificant work of art. Easy money and uncritical demand went hand in hand to boost construction and to encourage a closer link between a certain conciousness of fashion, and artistic and architectural creativity. This was all to end for reasons linked to such events as the october 1987 collapse of the New Yark stock market, or the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. In a new climate of doubt and economic restrictions, architecture would be obliged to take New Forms.

Review of Compact Houses:

Compact Houses is a compact book on Architecture written by Gerald Rowan, The designs in the book are not intended to be final plans. Even if you fall in love with one particular design shown here, you’ll want to tweak it to make it work for your site, living needs, and aesthetic, and you should work with a builder, architect, or construction engineer to arrive at a working building plan. The designs are roughly organized first by the number of floors (single-story homes followed by two-story ones) and then the square footage, from smaller to larger. Each design notes the square footage of the home, the number of bedrooms, the number and size of bathrooms, and any unique features, such as a fireplace or an open living plan. Feel free to mix and match elements, incorporating those you like into whatever turns out to be your dream-home design. Kitchens and bathrooms are particularly interchangeable. And don’t feel limited to using these designs just for new homes; many of the ideas suggested here can be incorporated into existing houses (see chapter 4 for more on that topic).
