This Is Not a House takes a close look at spaces that reformulate the idea of what “home” means, in innovative houses in cities around the globe. This Is Not a House
showcases recent projects that represent the vanguard of architects
creating innovative spaces for living in the twenty-first century. Dan
Rubinstein and the editors of the Amsterdam-based magazine have selected
projects on five continents that will shape how we think of domestic
life for a long time to come. Where the great experimenters of the last
century were stripping away ornamentation and creating free-flowing
spaces for the first time, today’s pioneers are researching the
potential of new materials and techniques to push the boundaries of
environmental sustainability, as well as creating new forms and bold,
sophisticated explorations in the adaptive reuse of spaces originally
designed for any number of other purposes.
This Is Not a House
presents the latest built residential projects by such design
luminaries as Sou Fujimoto, Plasma Studio, and Michael Maltzan, as well
as emerging ones such as Johan Selbing, among others, in an array of
locations across the globe, including New York, London, Los Angeles, and
Tokyo.
