520			_a"The computer age, environmental concerns, overpopulation, suburban sprawl, and economic boom and bust have all conspired to bring about enormous change in our everyday lives, and perhaps nowhere more so than in out homes, this colelction of photographs, drawings, plans, and essays features exciting, newly designed and built dwelling spaces by architects, artists, collectives, and individuals that respond to our increasing awareness of archtiecture's ability to shape the way we live. Whether they are self-constructed, sea-worthy, portable, inflatable, or wearable, these homes push the envelope of what's considered 'normal' in domestic architecture. Yet each was designed in response to a very real and immediate concern, be it economic, spatial, resource-related, or aesthetic. Innovative, bold and sometimes shocking, these homes signal a new way of thinking abour what our homes can be. They will no doubt set the standard for where and how we live, now and in the future." -- back cover.
