66 HOUSES /5
Sixty-six exceptional buildings showcase the possibilities of contemporary construction and diverse, always original responses to the requirements of the assignment and location. The book is the fifth in the best-selling series 99 / 66 HOUSES, which focuses on the construction of family houses in the Czech Republic.
“If you want to build a house, or are interested in quality architecture, who is behind it, and how they think about houses, then you are holding the right book in your hands. The hardest thing is to find good clients with good architects.“
Petr Hájek, architect
“These books have long filled the gap between popular lifestyle magazines and complex professional publications. They make the topic of architectural quality accessible and interesting to the general public in a sophisticated yet understandable way. This is precisely what can have a widespread impact on the overall quality of the environment.“
Pavla Melková, architect and architectural theorist
“Architecture is the foundation of culture because it creates the environment in which we live our lives, thus giving form to both. Everyone is influenced by the environment in which they grow up, and later influences the environment in which we live. Family houses are certainly not a home for everyone, but everyone experiences them in some way; they are a reflection of their inhabitants and thus reflect the culture of the country. It is good to cultivate this, and this book is a contribution to that.“
Petr Pelčák, architect
