In the past decade, as our material existence and environmental footprint has grown exponentially, architects around the globe have become particularly interested in the possibilities of the \u003cb\u003eminimal, low-impact, and isolated abode\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCabins\u003c\/em\u003e combines insightful text, rich photography, and bright, contemporary illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi to show how this particular architectural type presents \u003cb\u003especial opportunities for creative thinking\u003c\/b\u003e. In eschewing excess, the cabin limits actual spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, while in responding to its typically rustic setting, it foregrounds \u003cb\u003eeco-friendly solutions\u003c\/b\u003e.
