Forward-looking living concepts
The book “Homes for Our Time – Vol. 3” offers a detailed overview of contemporary residential architecture worldwide. Based on 59 projects from 25 countries, it shows the impressive diversity of design and the technical innovations that architects are incorporating into their current designs. From India to Norway, from Brazil to Japan – the residential concepts presented represent a new era of architecture that harmoniously combines environmental awareness and aesthetic standards and demonstrates how strongly today’s architecture is characterised by the use of state-of-the-art technologies and sustainable materials.
Technology and sustainability
A central theme of the book is the crucial role that advanced technologies play in the design of sustainable and future-orientated houses. Many of the buildings presented use state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D printing to realise innovative and environmentally friendly construction methods. One prominent example is “TECLA” in Italy, a house printed entirely from clay, which was built almost emission-free and serves as a model for future sustainable construction projects. The rapid development of computer technology not only enables architects to work more efficiently, but also to create complex structures that were previously almost impossible to realise using conventional methods.
Diversity of architectural concepts
Another focus of the book is the integration of houses into their natural surroundings. Projects such as the “Peninsula House” in Greece or the “House of Gardens” in India are examples of how architects around the world are endeavouring to design buildings that are not only in harmony with nature, but also incorporate it into their design. These houses not only offer protection from external influences, but also create spaces that bring nature inside and enable residents to live in harmony with their surroundings, fostering a deep connection with the environment and natural beauty.
The future of architecture
The book “Homes for Our Time-Vol. 3” is an exciting anthology of contemporary architecture that vividly demonstrates how diverse and forward-looking residential construction already is today. The projects presented are more than just homes, they embody a new understanding of living space that harmoniously combines aesthetics, technology and sustainability. The book encourages reflection on the possibilities of architecture and provides a broad outlook on future trends that will shape the industry and change the way people live forever.
