**A ground-breaking and engaging explanation of the evolution of the
homes we live in today
**Over the last century the way that we live at home has changed
dramatically. Nothing short of a design revolution has transformed our
houses and the spaces within them - moving from traditional patterns of
living all the way to an era of more fluid, open-plan and modern
styles.
Architectural and design writer Dominic Bradbury charts the course of
this voyage all the way from the late 19th century through to the houses
of today in this ground-breaking book. In over eighteen thematic
chapters, he explains the way our houses have been reinvented, while
taking in - along the way - the giants of Art Deco, influential
Modernists including Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as
post-war innovators such as Eero Saarinen and Philip Johnson. Taking us
from the 19th to the 21st century, Bradbury explores the progress of
modernity itself and reveals the secret history of our very own homes.
