Bookroo's summary
Journey through a world of unique homes with Giles Laroche's intricate collages. Discover how people live in diverse dwellings, from a mountain-carved bedroom in Spain to a rotating floating house in the Netherlands. Each home tells a story, shaped by its environment and culture. Why are some built to blend into landscapes or confuse invaders? What tales do the decorated houses of South Africa or the yurts of Mongolia hold? This book invites you to imagine life in these fascinating abodes, revealing the reasons behind their construction and the lives they shelter.
From the publisher
Features intricately detailed, bas-relief collage spreads of dwellings in other world regions and historical times to explain how different people live and have lived–from a village house in South Africa that tells the story of its family to a floating green house in the Netherlands. 20,000 first printing.
