The monograph has become a fairly predictable format for architecture books, varying, it seems, only in terms of how much content is presented and what the page looks like. Collecting photographs of finished buildings, renderings of unbuilt or soon-to-be-built projects, conventional architectural drawings, descriptive [...]

Charles Pictet Architecte designed this house in Frontenex, France as an addition to an original building. I love how the new structure is visually integrated into the old through the use of concrete.
