The typology of the free-standing house is as diverse as ¡t i surprising; in addition to the almost unbroken tradition o classical villa architecture, the English country-house style or the modernistic, detached family house, there are numerous other examples of innovative architect re for this type o building. In an almost playful way, the book documents a series of designs that translate universally familiar concepts into new architectural images. In the process, ¡t refers both to the tradition of architecture parlante and to concrete examples by architects including Ledoux, Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Meinikow and Libera.
These designs for villas and country houses represent buildings with outstanding identification value. They offer stimuli for a creative architecture of single houses; architecture which is not only desirable for mainly individualist clients, but also quite feasible to construct.
