| Summary |
This book is an overview of the most innovative houses built around the world in recent years, following the successful publication of Phaidon's 'Modern House' (1993) and 'Modern House 2' (2000). This book presents 33 houses in 15 countries, by both distinguished architects and up-and-coming young designers, including David Adjaye (London), Tadao Ando (Japan), Carlos Ferrater (Spain), Sean Godsell (Australia), Kengo Kuma (China), Richard Meier (United States), Julie Snow (Canada), and Warner Sobek (Germany). The houses are organized in three thematic sections that address integrating architecture and landscape, negotiating unusual programs and client needs, and building with new materials and energy-saving technologies |
