Full Description
This volume focuses on 42 key contemporary buildings that radically reconfigure the architectural parameters of the house. It examines the various ways in which architects have tried to create striking new solutions to familiar problems of form, function, materials and constraints of space. Opening with a historical review of experimental houses since 1500 - with a particular focus on the 20th century - the book covers the work of Adolf Loos, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Pierre Chareau, Frank Lloyd Wright and others. It also outlines some of the key social, political and economic driving forces behind the development of houses in the 20th century. Each chapter opens with an essay outlining the theme. Outstanding examples from all over the world are then examined in depth, with analytical commentary accompanied by sections, plans and photographs.
