Berlin-based JOVIS Verlag has published 'The Depth of the Landscape' by French architect and urban planner Jean-Pierre Pranlas-Descours. At a time when generic architecture increasingly homogenises the appearance of different territories, the book explores how Pranlas-Descours articulates the relationship between landscape and architecture through 16 site-specific projects.

Maison à Bordeaux by Rem Koolhaas, OMA

Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas of OMA, designed Maison à Bordeaux, a three-floor house on a hill overlooking Bordeaux. The house was designed for a couple. Following a car crash, the husband became wheelchair-bound and his brief to the architect was clear, 'I do not want a simple house. I want a complex house because the house will define my world'. The heart of the house is a 3m by 3.5m elevator platform that moves between the three floors and itself becomes part of the kitchen, living space or office, giving easy access to books, artwork or a wine cellar. The house was completed in 1998. Photo Hans Werlemann ©OMA. OMA
