From the 1920s, architects such as Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe sought to create both functional and comfortable living spaces, utilising new and constantly developing technologies. Their experimental visions and innovative ideas became widely disseminated, transforming people’s daily lives. This book showcases houses designed by architects who embraced modernity by re-examining the fundamentals of living. Each shares an ethos of creating a new architecture connected to their specific time, region, climate, and social context. Included are works by Frank Gehry, Lina Bo Bardi, Alvar Aalto, Jean Prouvé, Kenji Hirose, Antonin Raymond, and several others.
