This massive, double-volume set aims at answering the question of what housing looks like in the 21st century, exhaustively detailing the challenges that today's architects face. Featuring a spectrum of residential typologies and lifestyles that spans the entire globe - single-family, mixed-use complex, multi-family, social housing - the projects illustrated here reflect various demands of the individual, create spaces for communication, value local culture and sustainability, and consider the city and environment in which they exist. Besides including full project info and a wealth of drawings, renderings, and photographs for each, the set gathers myriad quotes from the architects.
