Issued in conjunction with several 2006-2007 exhibitions of examples of contemporary design and architecture. "What potential do new technologies and innovative materials have for the future of domestic living and residential architecture? How will we want to live in the world of tomorrow? Fifteen architects and designers from nine countries have been invited to address these questions within the context of the exhibition open house. Their visionary designs are documented in this catalogue with precise descriptions and extensive illustrations. Six scholarly essays delve more deeply into the topic with discussions of the history, present, and future of domestic living." (back cover) Even the book covers are inventive. VG .
