O książce Architects' Houses

Presenting 200 homes around the globe, mid-century to present, Architects’ Houses allows readers to step inside the minds of those who build our world

When it comes to designing their own homes, architects often see an opportunity to freely experiment with new ideas. It’s here that they can freely innovate and implement their design theories, building their residences around their dreams and beliefs. 

Architects’ Houses showcases the homes of 200 leading architects, from Frank Lloyd Wright, Lina Bo Bardi, and Charles Correa to Shohei Yoh, Deborah Berke, Ken Shuttleworth, Bjarke Ingels, and Omar Gandhi. Organized alphabetically by architect’s surname, each entry includes two to six images of the home’s exterior, interiors, and grounds, alongside a 400-word descriptive text from Bradbury discussing the architect’s design process. A foreword by featured architect Francine Houben further reflects upon the intersection of home and the profession, and an illustrated chronology of the homes at the back of the book allows readers to chart potential influences and movements.
