Contemporary Houses. 100 Homes Around the World. XL

Italian edition. The design of private residences presents very particular challenges and nuances for the architect. The scale may be more modest than a public project, the technical setups less complex than an industrial site, but the preferences, needs and vision of particular personalities become priorities. The delicate task is to translate all the emotional associations and practical needs of "home" into a realizable and constructed reality.
This publication brings together 100 of the world's most interesting and pioneering homes designed over the past two decades, featuring an array of both new and established talent, including John Pawson, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, ​​Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Álvaro Siza and Peter Zumthor. Accommodating the daily routine of eating, sleeping and sheltering, as well as offering space for personal experience and relationships, this is architecture at its most basic and intimate.
