The Iconic House features over one hundred of the most important and
influential houses designed and built since 1900. With seminal works by
Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mies van der Rohe, as well as
modern-day greats like Tadao Ando, Rem Koolhaas, and Herzog & de Meuron,
this book brings to life a stunning array of architectural masterpieces.
Wide-ranging in both geographical scope and artistic style, the houses
share an appreciation of local materials and building traditions and a
careful understanding of clients' needs. Each house, however, is the
result of a unique approach that makes it groundbreaking for its time.
Now, fully updated, the book features iconic houses recently
constructed, as well as concise, informative texts, specially
commissioned photographs, floor plans, and drawings. The Iconic House
remains an ideal overview of contemporary architects and architecture,
for design-lovers and professionals alike.
