Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Houses for all Regions: CRAN Residential Collection is the first in a series on international residential architecture produced by The IMAGES Publishing Group in partnership with the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The projects are divided into four climate zones: arid/semi-arid, temperate, arctic/cold-climate and tropical/sub-tropical, and each illustrates how architects adapt their designs to accommodate the challenges posed by the local topography and variations in climate. Containing cutting-edge residential designs by leading architects from across the world, including North America, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe, and featuring rarely seen images, Houses for all Regions: CRAN Residential Collection underlines the sensitivity of today’s architects to the natural environment, as well as the care and attention paid to interior design and everyday living.
