|  | Where We Live by Adrian Bode, Andreas Linke, Michael Frey
Whether a treehouse or a cave, an igloo or a tent, a mansion or a castle, a skyscraper or a single-family house -- there are all sorts of individual homes. All human beings need a dwelling of some sort. But why is no one house exactly like another? Because the people who build and live in them are so different and have adapted to the needs of their environment. Let`s look at some of their homes! Where We Live shows how architecture has developed from its early beginnings right up to the present day. It shows the diversity of dwelling types, which were designed by people at different times and different places. AUTHOR: Adrian Bode, Andreas Linke, Michael Frey

 | Architecture & Cubism by David Cottington, Eve Blau, Nancy J. Troy
A collection of essays stemming from a colloquium on cubism and architecture. Because Picasso and Braque's Cubism of the early 1900s sought to depict three dimensions on a two-dimensional picture plane, architecture--which is by definition three-dimensional--can not be labeled Cubist. The contributors to this volume conclude that Cubism and architecture have little to do with one another, with the exceptions of the work of Leger, paintings by the architect Le Corbusier, and Cubist garden design.
