...typical new home was 1,500 sq. ft. Today the McMansion has pushed the figure to 2,300. A small but growing group of architects and homeowners, however, is rejecting the notion that bigger homes mean better lives and for economic, environmental and aesthetic reasons is embracing mini houses, which are often under 1,000 sq. ft. Books like Alejandro Bahamón's Mini House, Michelle Kodis' Blueprint Small, Azby Brown's The Very Small Home and Ricorico's Mini House Style explore how small spaces can be put to ingenious uses. --By Lisa McLaughlin...
Except there is no stage--anyway, not a stable floor. Instead, a void, out of which some ethereal miracles materialize. Many of them take place on two huge surfaces: a 1,250-sq.-ft., 175-ton slab (known as the sand-cliff deck) and a smaller one (the 900-sq.-ft., 40-ton tatami deck) that can simultaneously lift, rotate and tilt.

"ARCO is the most important week of the year for Spanish art," says Maria Porto, director of the Madrid branch of Marlborough, a London-based gallery.

...addition to rehiring original craftsmen, Suppancig, 44, also reconstructed both the company's product and its image. In September he opened a 500-sq-m store and headquarters on Milan's Via Manzoni. The minimal designs were soon back on the arms of fashionistas, including the house's trademark bag, "Punch," originally created in 1951. The bag comes in bright colors like kelly green and fuchsia and is made with 19th century techniques, including "boarding" treatment, or pressing the leather into a silky consistency using the palms of the hands.
