AV Monographs 247 - Casas 2022 / Houses of the Year

Inserted in built-up urban spaces, located in sprawling suburban areas, or embedded in natural landscapes, the eighteen houses collected in this publication – which travels from the United States to Australia via Ecuador, Brazil, Paraguay, Spain and Portugal, South Africa, and Japan – all show that engaging in dialogue with the environment is one of the key factors in the design.
