OPEN HOUSE. /HB/ “TH&H“

At the beginning of the twentieth century, a new vision of architectural space was born. New construction methods eliminated the need for interior partitions, enabling modern architects to break free from spatial constraints and traditional limits to design houses that were unbound, dynamic and open. The first half of this book explores the evolution of the open plan in the work of well-known American and European architects. From Frank Lloyd Wright's breaking of the suburban box to Le Corbusier's dynamic purist spaces, architects abandoned self-contained rooms and discarded traditional social and familial constraints.
