architects are continuing to stretch definitions,perceptions and expectations in the quest to create small buildings that challenge our traditional ideas of shelter.This book,the third in the successful XS series,examines how the term 'extreme' is used to refer to different aspects of building.The projects here encompass structures that are designed for the earth's extreme regions and in urban areas closer to home,and that blur the boundaries between art and architecture.
