Résumé

The idea and function, image and built reality of the house vary from culture to culture. Houses do much more than provide a roof over our heads.They are sanctuaries, havens – our private kingdom, our personalized cocoons. They are economic indicators. For Architects, they are dream jobs, test beds, manifestos.

The houses in this book represent new ideas about how to build houses, how they are rooted (and root us) to their locale, and how we use and regard them. The first chapter ‘Tectonics', features houses that explore the novel application of materials and building tectoniques in the domestic realm. Next, ‘Context' showcases houses that actively engage in their site, drawing inspiration, wether in texture, form, or topography, from their surrounding landscape. Lastly, ‘Revolution'adresses the significant shifts our lifestyles have undergone and house has responded to them.

House features twenty recently-built houses that have been designed by some of today's leading architects, including Steven Holl, Toshiko Mori, Alberto Kalach and Rick Joy. By leading readers to the cutting edge of today's architecture, authors Ho and Barreneche relate today's building trends and hint at what await us in the future. Featuring more than 200 colour photographs and plans, Houseis the essential book for architecture bookshelves everywhere
