Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses Around the World. Vol. 3

Taschen's coffee table book "Homes for our Times," Philip Jodidio casts a glance behind the scenes of innovative homes and shows the evolution of contemporary global architecture - from Samira Rathod's House of Concrete Experiments in India to Tetro's Açucena House in Brazil, which adapts to the natural terrain.

The third volume of the Homes for Our Time series describes 59 groundbreaking projects from 25 countries - from Guatemala and Slovenia to Norway and Vietnam - and takes readers on an illustrated visit to contemporary architectural gems, discovering the architects driving change in the field now and in the future. These houses are the beating heart of creativity that will inspire architecture for decades to come.

The houses in this book may be the first full generation to use the ubiquity of computer power - from design to fabrication - but this high-tech approach in no way detracted from their variety and originality. In Italy, Mario Cucinella built TECLA - Technology and Clay, a 3D-printed house made entirely from raw earth. Printed in 200 hours with 60 cubic meters of natural materials, the unique house reveals potential low-cost, environmentally responsible approaches to architecture. In Hyderabad, India, Kanan Modi designed her House of Gardens not only to disperse and reduce heat within the structure, but also to invite the beauty of nature indoors - both essential in the face of rising temperatures and increasing urbanization.
