It seems logical that after the disproportionate growth of cities that took place for decades following World War II, a counter-development would occur.
And it did Stagnation of 'urban sprawl' runs parallel to the rediscovery
of the country house as a typology able to adapt to the demands of the new

country house together with plans, construction details and the many innovations
and interpretations to which it lends itself.
