Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World. Vol. 2 documents a genuine revolution in contemporary housing.

Featuring photographs, plans and descriptions, it explores new approaches to construction and showcases ingenious, eco-friendly homes from around the world, designed by emerging talents such as Suzuko Yamada, Gurjit Matharoo and the Frankie Pappas collective. Far from the spotlight, this volume celebrates the diversity of perspectives and contexts, showing how climate, environment, history and technology are transforming residential architecture on a global scale.

Through more than 60 buildings in countries such as Vietnam, South Africa, India and China, the book raises key questions about the role of homes in the face of current threats and how architecture can drive innovation.

You’ll find inspiring examples such as Palinda Kannangara’s Frame Holiday Structure in Sri Lanka, designed to be dismantled and moved; Luciano Lerner Basso’s Casa Fortunata in Brazil, built around a protected tree; and Miller Hull’s Loom House near Seattle, renowned for its environmental ambition, recycled materials and energy efficiency. With precise texts and stunning visuals, this volume invites you to dream and to understand housing as a laboratory for the future.
