Archilab's Futurehouse: Radical Experiments in Living Space

Archilab's Futurehouse: Radical Experiments in Living Space

by Marie - Ange Brayer (Author), Beatrice Simonot (Author)

Synopsis

Looking to the most innovative talents from around the world, FutureHouse presents ninety private and community housing projects that challenge the accepted norms of our living spaces and offer a dazzling array of ingenious solutions that meet the widely changing needs and desires of our global society. Against the background of globalization and urbanization, these designers - most of whom were raised and educated in the drawn of the digital age - confront such issues as individualizing collective housing and spatial multi-generational flexibility, radically reimagining how we can - could - live. Essays by such international critics as Frederic Migayrou (France), Bart Lootsma (The Netherlands), Andreas Ruby (Germany), Manuel Gausa (Spain), Kyong Park (USA) and Christian Girard (France) complement the work of avant-garde and experimental architects, whose work originates in every corner of the globe and address a rich spectrum of local and international issues and conditions.
