Homes For Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World. Vol. 3

The third volume of the Homes for Our Time series brings together 59 cutting-edge projects from 25 countries and offers an illustrated tour of some of the most innovative homes on the current scene.

The book shows how contemporary architecture is evolving on a global scale, combining imagination, sustainability and site-specific solutions, from Guatemala and Slovenia to Norway and Vietnam.

Throughout its pages, we see homes that harness the versatility of digital tools, from design to construction, without sacrificing a shred of formal diversity. In Italy, Mario Cucinella’s TECLA – Technology and Clay is a 3D-printed house made of raw earth, built in 200 hours using natural materials, an example of environmental responsibility and the pursuit of low-cost solutions.

In Hyderabad, Kanan Modi’s House of Gardens is designed to reduce heat and bring nature indoors, responding to rising temperatures and urbanisation. The book also features stories where technology is changing the way we build, such as Atelier Bow-Wow’s Peninsula House, which was managed virtually during the pandemic, or projects that connect art and architecture, such as Mariko Mori’s Yuputira. A volume that focuses on the architects driving change and the houses that will shape the imagination of the coming decades.

Key features:

  • Cover: Hardback.
  • Pages: 488.
  • Language: German, French, English.
