INTRODUCTION

Homes For Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World Vol. 2 is the second volume in the “Homes For Our Time” series curated by Philip Jodidio. It surveys innovative residential architecture from across the globe, highlighting how climate, environment, history, and technology are shaping the houses of today. 

This volume features more than 60 exemplary homes from regions including Vietnam, India, China, South Africa, and beyond — designed by both emerging and established architects. The projects range from modest dwellings to ambitious experimental homes, each engaging thoughtfully with its site, context, and sustainability.

The book includes rich photography, architectural drawings, and detailed project descriptions, making it both a visual compendium and a source of design insight. It invites readers to reconsider what modern homes may look like when bound to their environment, deeply responsive to social, ecological, and aesthetic demands.
