The House as a Garden
by Xavier Monteys
Description
A cross between an academic article and ingenious reflection in a journalistic style, in this book the concept of the house is extended to the garden, not only in a literal sense, but also metaphorical: houses with gardens, gardens inside houses, the house understood as a garden. The journey includes well known historical examples as well as rarities from architects such as Le Corbusier, Lina Bo Bardi and Bernard Rudofsky to popular or anonymous architecture to expand upon the idea of the house and garden.

Author Biography
Xavier Monteys has, for many years, studied the notion of the
House, not just as an architectural space but also as an occupied space, as the space for an after-dinner conversation with the family, for children to play, a territory transformed by DIY, a warehouse of personal objects —an endless list of uses that determine a way of living. His studies have been published in
a series of books by Editorial GG: Casa collage: Un ensayo
sobre la arquitectura de la casa (Casa Collage: An essay on the architecture of the home), La Habitación: Más allá de la sala de estar (Rooms: Beyond the sitting-room) and La Calle y la casa: Urbanismo de interiors (Street and Home: The Urban planning of interior spaces).
