An illustrated celebration of the work of forty contemporary architecture studios from around the world which specialise in house designs guided by different factors, with commentaries by the architects themselves. The result is a rich variety of architectural ideas and design solutions.
Some celebrated influential architects are featured, alongside emerging talents. They have offices spread out across the world, promoting their ideals and visions, and creating works that have the power of suggestion and that inspire emotion. The participating architects - through some of their most notable works - offer their own theories, technical innovations and design contributions to the built environment. Each architect, in his or her particular way, thrives to offer design solutions that lead to society's progress and well-being. Architecture Today: Houses is a compilation of a rich variety of house designs influenced by different factors. For a truly faithful presentation of the projects, the architects themselves explain their work in their own words. 900 full colour photos
