Domestic architecture is a paradigm of evolution, a privileged field experimentation. It examines the domes tic aspirations of our time and places before us new lifestyles and speculations. Spectacular Houses features a selection of homes from the beginning of the new millennium. This selection examine houses that have broken away from the past and that define today's innovation and tomorrow's classicism. The book does not aim to convert these houses into prototypes to follow; they are included because they reflect the peculiarities of their era, sites and owners.
