{"product_id":"100-contemporary-houses","title":"100 Contemporary Houses","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigning private residences has its own very special challenges and nuances for the architect. The scale may be more modest than public projects, the technical fittings less complex than an industrial site, but the preferences, requirements and vision of particular personalities becomes priority. The delicate task is to translate all the emotive associations and practical requirements of \"home\" into a workable, constructed reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication rounds up 100 of the world's most interesting and pioneering homes designed in the past two decades, featuring a host of talents both new and established, including John Pawson, Richard Meier, Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Herzog \u0026amp; de Meuron, Daniel Libeskind, Alvaro Siza, and Peter Zumthor. Accommodating daily routines of eating, sleeping, and shelter, as well as offering the space for personal experience and relationships, this is architecture at its most elementary and its most intimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhilip Jodidio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e studied art history and economics at Harvard and edited \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eConnaissance des Arts\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003efor over 20 years.
