+ Quim Larrea and Katherine Bedwell's Neutra inspired v-shaped Rembed House at Arch Daily, "The foyer acts as the 'rotula' or joint of the house from where two zones are distributed: night/day, public/private.".


+ Sou Fujimoto's 90 sq. meter "one-room" T house at Arch Daily.


+ rico turu architect studio's 128 sq. meter Setagaya-D House at What We Do Is Secret, "The site is a long and slender rectangle... Four wings of differing volumes, stand in a line from the road frontage along the site shape.".

+ Remodelista 's Architect Visit: Asfour Guzy.


+ Supersudaka's Kiltro House, "This project is almost a statement of how to accomplish architecture in Latin-america.

+ Architectural Record's Design Vanguard 2008, "None of the firms in this year's Design Vanguard tried to overturn the current order or present a radically new vision of architecture. Reflecting the busy times in which they have been working, they built a lot and created some stunning projects: houses that provoke thought while satisfying the senses, places for art that engage visitors, new buildings that initiate dialogues with old ones.".
