"Der Trend hin zum Tiny House, eingedeutscht ""Tiny Haus"" - und auch dem Mikroapartment - ist mehr als nur ein Hype. Es ist eine Lebenseinstellung, diese Besinnung auf das Wesentliche, die viele Menschen überzeugt. Und die vergangenen Monate haben uns gezeigt, was wir wirklich brauchen, und das ist oft weniger als wir dachten. Überall auf der Welt sind Häuser und Wohneinheiten im Mini-Format ein Thema, sie sind eine Möglichkeit, sich den Traum vom Eigenheim zu erfüllen. Die sorgfältig ausgewählten Projekte aus aller Welt dokumentieren, wie sich durch Konzentration auf das Wesentliche, intelligente Grundrisse, durchdachte Stauraumlösungen und funktionale Verschachtelung Raum gewinnen lässt. Sie zeigen auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise, wie große Wohnqualität auf kleiner Fläche durch überzeugendes Design möglich wird. "Raum ist in der kleinsten Hütte Für ein glücklich liebend Paar." Friedrich Schiller"

Die Aufgabe von Schulen ist es, heranwachsende Menschen auf das Leben vorzubereiten. Darüber hinaus sind sie auch immer Identifikationsträger für ihre Gemeinde und bestimmen deren jeweiligen Charakter und das Selbstverständnis mit. Die Institution ist immer mehr vom Lern- zum Lebensraum für Kinder und Jugendliche geworden, der auch umfassende soziale Funktionen und außerschulische Aktivitäten beinhaltet. Diese Aufgabenerweiterung beeinflusst maßgeblich Form und Gestaltung von Schulbau und Schulgelände. Mit einem Fokus auf Funktionalität, Nachhaltigkeit und überzeugende ästhetische Konzepte präsentiert dieser Band eine Vielfalt an Ansätzen, die die Schullandschaft von morgen prägen werden. Von Grundschulen bis hin zum Gymnasium bietet das Buch Einblicke in innovative Konzepte, die das Lernen und Lehren transformieren, und zeigt, wie Pädagogik heute zeitgemäß und qualitätvoll in Architektur umgesetzt werden kann.
