An essential book on modern architecture: one hundred of the most significant
houses of the past hundred years. From the first stirrings of modernity in the
early twentieth century to the present, the house has served as a test bed of
design experimentation, the place where architects have sought to create new
forms and to offer new domestic lifestyles. Alvar Aalto, Buckminster Fuller,
Rudolph Schindler, Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, Eileen Gray, Charles and
Ray Eames, Charles Gwathmey, Carlo Scarpa, Herzog & de Meuron: most great
architects of the past hundred years have begun or catalyzed their careers with
an iconic house. The introduction looks at the historical and social
motivations behind epoch-making residential architecture, showing in sidebars
twenty of the most important early examples. Then eighty houses—sixty of which
have been specially photographed—are presented chronologically. The text
describes the all-important relationship between architecture and client, the
physical context in which the house is set, and the pivotal role the house
played in the development of the architect’s career and architecture in
general. Concise architect biographies and a list of key buildings accompany
each house, while photographs and easy-to-read plans bring the words to life.
