ARCHITECTS - Colony collapse (part) 28.03.2014 WARSAW - Video
Here are a few truisms about tiny homes: They are ecologically friendly. They are generally inexpensive. They can help avoid house debt. They reduce one's carbon footprint. They offer the possibility for a freer, simpler life.
Plus, they're cute.
And now, tiny homes have something else: a coolness factor. Architectural innovation has become part of the tiny home movement, with some of today's top designers testing the boundaries of imagination and possibility, transforming ultrasmall spaces into marvels of eco-sustainable, microminimalist design.
Just look at what a tiny home can be: A "free-spirit" tree sphere, hanging above the forest floor. A steel hut constructed of salvaged car parts. A plastic "loft cube" that can be airlifted by helicopter. A Space Age microhouse with round, rotating rooms. A diamond-shaped glass house suspended on a pole.
"There are a lot of architects today who are pushing the envelope," said California architect Cate Leger. "We're among them. It's fun."
Leger and husband Karl Wanaselja, founders of Leger Wanaselja Architecture, are "green builders" who recently designed a residence in Berkeley, Calif., the McGee House, that utilized car windows and 100 salvaged car roofs. Needing a storage shed during construction, the team quickly slapped together a metal hut-like structure using some of the leftover car parts, and the result was unexpectedly appealing. It looked futuristic yet primitive, like a prop for a science fiction movie. Leger and Wanaselja were intrigued.
"In the next five years or so, you'll see us turn that idea into tiny house architecture," Leger said. "I believe tiny homes are the future. Or they should be. It's hard to tell people you have to live small. But building ecologically responsible housing is essential to our survival as a species."

Many architects agree, and are putting that idea to work. Tiny homes are being retrofitted with ecologically conscious features like solar panels, rainwater collection systems and compost waste management systems. Some even have state-of-the-art internal heating and cooling systems that can be digitally controlled by laptop computers or smartphones.
Some of the most cutting-edge design is happening outside the U.S., such as in Tokyo, the world's most populated city and one of the most expensive. There, living tiny is often not a choice or a philosophy but a necessity. Radical tiny homes abound there, such as the microcompact Paco House cube or the bullet-shaped Lucky Drop House, which is only 30 inches wide at its narrowest point. Even tinier housing possibilities include portable Tricycle Homes that can be joined together like Legos, or prefabricated Pop-Up Houses.

Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) -- The Architects Union of Korea marked its 60th anniversary.
The Union is a social organization of architects and construction technicians of the DPRK aimed at equipping its members with the Juche-based idea and theory of architecture of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) and working hard for their materialization.
Covering six decades of its glorious path since its foundation, the union has left shinning traces in the history of the development of Juche-oriented architecture.
It has effectively organized the May 21 Architectural Festivals and the Symposiums on Architectural Beauty and conducted the work for disseminating advanced science and technology in diverse forms and methods, putting strong spurs to the nation's development of architectural technology.
Its members have invented a lot of peculiar designs, advanced construction methods and technologies of producing building materials, contributing to making a new history of Juche-based popular architecture.
In recent years they have provided a scientific and technological guarantee for the work of building grand monumental structures representing the present era and turning urban and rural areas into socialist fairylands and contributed to ushering in a heyday of construction.
The union has positively conducted the work with architects unions in other countries including the International Union of Architects.
A meeting took place at the People's Palace of Culture on Wednesday to observe the anniversary.
Present there were Kwak Pom Gi, secretary of the Central Committee of the WPK, Kwon Song Ho, minister of State Construction Control, Tong Jong Ho, minister of Construction and Building-Materials Industry, Kang Yong Su, minister of Urban Management, Kim Kyong Jun, minister of Land and Environment Protection, members of the Central Committee of the union, officials concerned, exemplary members of the union and designers, builders, teachers and students in the field of construction and relevant fields.
A congratulatory message of the Central Committee of the WPK to the officials and members of the union was conveyed at the meeting.
