Utilization Creative Home Space Design | Lin Shijan

The nature of living space has undergone a profound shift in recent years. Changing societal values and the pressures of increased overcrowding have led to new paradigms in habitation. Indoor is out and outdoor is in as walls are removed to create great multi-use rooms where family and friends can come together for a variety of activities. Facades of buildings are created out of stacked wall-to-wall window boxes a dream for any inspired urban farmer. This shift from traditional to organic is radical, but healthy, creating adaptable spaces that are responsive to our natures as well as to the constraints of the new or converted buildings we inhabit whether narrow, oblong, submerged or multi-story. Contains a stunning selection of projects from around the world - all exemplary for their creative use of space and includes diagrams and floor plans.
