HOMES FOR OUR TIME VOL.3

HOMES FOR OUR TIME VOL.3

Philip Jodidio examines what's behind the most innovative housing to illustrate the evolution of today's global architecture, from Samira Rathod's Concrete Experiment House in India to Tetro's Açucena House in Brazil, which molds to the natural terrain on which it is built.

The houses featured in this book may be the first generation of housing to take advantage of the versatility of computer applications, but this use of technology has not diminished their variety and originality one iota. In Italy, Mario Cucinella built TECLA - Technology and Clay, a 3D printed house constructed entirely from raw earth. This unique building, which was printed in 200 hours with 60 cubic meters of natural materials, exemplifies an architectural approach that pursues both low cost and environmental responsibility. In Hyderabad, India, Kanan Modi designed his Garden House not only to diffuse and reduce heat inside the building, but also to bring the beauty of nature indoors, two essential goals in the face of rising temperatures and increasing urbanization.

These visionary buildings were designed by harnessing technological advances such as video conferencing and 3D printing, encouraging inventiveness and imagination and producing sustainable, site-specific housing.

Taschen

Benedikt Taschen, con tan solo 12 años, empezó a vender comics. Con 15 años ya era económicamente independiente y con 18 ya había abierto una tienda, Taschen comics. Es ahí, en Colonia, en 1980 cuando nace la marca. Desde ese momento se dedicó a la reventa de libros, hasta 1982 que edita su primer libro. Este era un libro de fotografías de Annie Leibovitz. Posteriormente le siguieron otras ediciones, casi todas dedicadas a pintores. La misión de la compañía es publicar libros que bien diseñados e innovadores a precios asequibles. Hoy en día es una de las editoriales más importantes que existe, con sus ediciones sobre arte, fotografía, arquitectura, etc. Hoy en día Taschen dispone de series de básicos a precios más asequibles, ediciones en tamaños XL o ediciones limitadas de ciertas publicaciones que son auténticas obras de arte. Nos encanta por la imagen, las temáticas y las ediciones tan atractivas que realizan, que además tienen un precio asequible y son libros para toda la vida, que de vez en cuando apetece volver a echarles un ojo, e inspirarnos con sus contenidos.
