Peeking behind the scenes of innovative homes, Philip Jodidio illustrates the evolution of today’s global architecture—from Samira Rathod’s House of Concrete Experiments in India to Tetro’s Açucena House in Brazil, which adapts to its natural terrain.The houses featured in this book may be the first full generation to take advantage of the ubiquity of computing power—from design to fabrication—yet this high-tech approach has in no way diminished their variety and originality. In Italy, Mario Cucinella built TECLA – Technology and Clay, a 3D-printed house created entirely with raw earth. The unique house, printed in 200 hours with 60 cubic meters of natural materials, unveils potential low-cost, environmentally responsible approaches to architecture. In Hyderabad, India, Kanan Modi designed her House of Gardens not only to diffuse 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.These forward-thinking buildings were designed by capitalizing on technological advances such as video conferencing and 3D printing, fostering inventiveness and imagination, and yielding sustainable, site-specific homes. Atelier Bow-Wow virtually directed the construction of their Peninsula House on the Greek island of Antiporos during the COVID-19 pandemic; Mariko Mori’s Yuputira unifies her artistic and architectural aesthetics; and Anne Fougeron’s Suspension House breathes new life into a remarkable natural setting.Detailing 59 cutting-edge projects from 25 countries—ranging from Guatemala and Slovenia to Norway and Vietnam—the third volume of the Homes for Our Time series takes readers on an illustrated visit of contemporary architectural gems, discovering the architects who are driving change in the field now, and in the future. These homes are the beating heart of creativity that will inspire architecture for decades to come.
