From Mayan lime stone huts, to the balance and symmetry of homes in a Chinese village, to the modern functionality of today’s city dwellings, home means many things to many people. No matter the period of history, or the environment in which it is built, design is an intricate part of creating a living space.

Home is a complete illustrated guide to the history of home and how architects design a living space to suite the occupants and the community in which they live. Whether it’s a loft apartment in the city, a relaxing house by the ocean, a cool retreat in the tropics, or a snug chalet in the snow, Home looks at them all!

With interesting and authoritative text from a team of international architects and designers, the book examines how our homes are influenced by our environment – locality, weather, and lifestyle – with a focus on homes designed and built in this decade.

• Full-colour photographs, floor plans, and isometrics show the progresses involved in designing home and the innovative digital techniques that will be used to design the home of the future.
• The last section compromises a gallery of well-known architects from around the world, their work and their lives, as well as a comprehensive index.
• Home is a beautiful and fascinating reference book for those interested in designing, creating, and expanding their knowledge about home, design, and architecture.
