Description:

A superb selection of 25 houses designed and built between the early 1900s and the late 1980s by 25 architects who are ranked as the greatest of our time. Alvar Aalto, Luis Barragan, Antonio Gaudi, Steven Holl, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mies van der Rohe, Glenn Murcutt, and Frank Lloyd Wright just to mention a few. In essence, Houses of the Century is an architectural journey through the 1900s, a detailed guide of the most influential residential structures of the era.

From the early, highly ornamented style of Gaudi to Ando's simplified approach, no stone is left unturned in tracing the evolution of the contemporary dwelling to its purest form. Whether it is Rem Koolhaas deconstructing, or Frank Gehry recycling, or Barragan coloring, the domestic architecture of the 20th Century is distinctive and prolific, at the peak of its art form.
