"Close to nature, sustainable, healthy, social, spectacular... We ask a lot of our future homes and the architects that design them. Over time, innovative domestic design has taken many forms. Different eras, shaped by specific needs, challenges and opportunities, have given their own interpretation of this most essential of buildings - the home - defining what it could look like, what it might signify and how it should function. Today, new challenges have emerged within this dynamic landscape, including climate change, the pursuit of diversity and equity across society and the role of emerging technologies, such as AI. The needs of today - and therefore the house of tomorrow - require human-centric and context-responsive solutions, grounded in resilience and responsibility, without compromising on visual appeal and aspiration. Future Homes showcases diverse, cutting-edge case studies of homes that both address issues of our times and look stunning while doing it. As well as an inspirational showcase of architecture that leads the way into the future, the designs offer valuable insights into how we can find balance and refuge in a rapidly changing and volatile world." -- Publisher's description.
