TASCHEN Releases 'Homes for Our Time. Sustainable Living' by Philip Jodidio
TASCHEN has published 'Homes for Our Time. Sustainable Living', the latest volume in the 'Homes for Our Time' series edited by Philip Jodidio. The book surveys 63 residential projects worldwide that exemplify sustainable architecture, from bamboo structures in Hanoi to passive houses in Australian forests. Featured architects include Norman Foster and Snøhetta. Jodidio, former editor-in-chief of Connaissance des Arts, emphasizes that sustainability now encompasses both the environmental cost of inhabiting a home and the cost of constructing it. The volume highlights energy-efficient facades, low-impact structures, recycled and biodegradable materials, and designs responsive to sun, wind, and rain. Each project is documented with photographs and architect biographies.
