Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses Around the World by Philip Jodidio Pdf
Across small cottages and lavish villas, beach houses and forest refuges, discover the world's finest crop of new homes. This cutting-edge global digest features such talents as Shigeru Ban, MVRDV, and Marcio Kogan alongside up-and-coming names like Aires Mateus, Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia, Desai Chia, and Shunri Nishizawa. Here, there are homes in Australia and New Zealand, from China and Vietnam, in the United States and Mexico, and on to less expected places like Ecuador and Costa Rica. The result is a sweeping survey of the contemporary house and a revelation that homes across the globe may have more in common than expected. Among guava trees and abandoned forts in Western India is a sanctuary designed for and by Kamal Malik of Malik Architecture. The House of Three Streams is a sprawling spectacle with high ceilings, verandas, and pavilions, perched atop a ridge overlooking two ravines. A medley of steel, glass, wood, and stone, the house weaves along the contour of the landscape, almost as an extension of the forest. Encina House by Aranguren & Gallegos, an elegant, sloping structure reminiscent of a gazebo, similarly inhabits its surrounding vista. Ensconced in a pine forest north of Madrid, the lower level is embedded in rock and connected to the upper by a natural stone wall. Shinichi Ogawa's Seaside House is an immaculate two-story minimalist marvel in Kanagawa that overlooks the Pacific. Its living area spills onto a cantilevered terrace and infinity pool, almost dissolving into the ocean as one seamless entity. In Vietnam, Shunri Nishizawa's House in Chau Doc exudes tropical sophistication with exposed timber beams, woven bamboo, plants, concrete panels, and inner balconies and terraces. Its corrugated iron panels act as moveable walls and shutters, ushering in views of surrounding rice fields. These homes--along with more than 50 others--are each remarkably distinct in design. They all, however, toe the line between inside and outside, each one symbiotic with its surroundings.

There is no one way to design a modern urban house. Demand for space in cities the world over is higher than ever and new buildings must meet stringent energy saving requirements and negotiate a myriad planning regulations. But the best new urban architecture suggests invention and innovation are as critical as ever. The Contemporary House brings together seventy solutions, drawn from cities around the globe to explore the many ways in which architecture can enhance the experience of living in the city. Organized geographically, The Contemporary House offers a fascinating insight into the sheer variety of contemporary approaches to urban design, from reinventions of longstanding vernacular forms like terraces and townhouses, through to the fastchanging suburbs and inner cities of modern Japan, where the short lifespan of family houses provides architects with a template for aesthetic and technical experimentation. The book also provides an insight into the conditions that shape the architecture of some of the world's major cities, through recent history, signature styles, and current conditions on the ground. The Contemporary House is an essential guide to design in the modern city.

Le case private pongono agli architetti sfide del tutto peculiari. Le dimensioni potranno essere più modeste rispetto ai progetti pubblici, gli impianti meno complessi rispetto a un sito industriale, ma diventa prioritaria tutta una serie di aspetti relativi alle preferenze, ai requisiti e alle idee delle singole persone. Il compito più delicato è tradurre l&'insieme di emotività e richieste pratiche della &"casa&" in qualcosa di reale che si possa costruire. Questa pubblicazione riunisce 100 tra le case più interessanti e avanguardistiche costruite nell&'ultimo decennio in giro per il mondo, presentando numerosi talenti sia affermati sia emergenti, tra i quali John Pawson, Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Herzog e de Meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Álvaro Siza, UNStudio e Peter Zumthor. Capace di coordinare le routine quotidiane correlate a cibo e sonno con il concetto di &"riparo&" e l&'offerta di uno spazio dove coltivare le relazioni personali, questo ramo dell&'architettura è il più essenziale ma anche il più intimo.
