As digital technologies insinuate themselves into every aspect of our lives, there is an urgent need to address our most private realm, where we surround ourselves with families, friends and prized possessions. Until now, there have been few new suggestions as to how we can design to accomodate even de most basic house's multifarious functions. Futurehouse tackles the problem head-on and will lead to a new generation of houses for people from all walks of life. Digital technology and the internet may have changed our lifestyles over the last decade, but so far they have had very little impact on our dwellings. Looking to the most innovative talents from around the world, Futurehouse presents ninety private and community housing projects that challenge the accepted norms of our living spaces and offer a dazzling array of ingenious solutions to meet the widely changing needs and desires of our global society. Against the background of globalization and urbanization, these designers - most of whome were raised and educated at the dawn of the digital age - confront such issues as individualizing collective housing and spatial multigenerational flexibility, radically reimagining how we can - could - live.
