Documented by way of text, pictures and illustrations by French artist Marie-Laure Cruschi, Cabins explores the inventive options devised by architects when presented with constrained space.
Aires Mateus, Cabanas no Rio Huts
“In eschewing extra, the cabin limits real spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, whilst in responding to its generally rustic setting, it foregrounds eco-pleasant remedies,” the publishers explained.
Todd Saunders, Salt Spring Island Cabin
“As such, the cabin comes to showcase some of the most inventive and forward-searching practice of modern architecture.”
Hidemi Nishida, Fragile Shelter
From a duo of timber huts in Portugal, to a bungalow on stilts in the Sri Lankan jungle, the guide aims to show the variety of types that cabins can consider.
