The manifesto house : buildings that changed the future of architecture

Hopkins, Owen, 1984- author

2025

Overview

Manifesto houses reflect new visions for how we can live. Often extreme and uncompromising, they are vehicles for innovation, new ideas, and new ways of doing things. Most houses are the product of multiple layers of norms and expectations built up over time, whether methods, materials, and technologies or social, cultural, economic, and political pressures. Yet at various moments houses have been built that break with the past and do something different-houses that stand outside of these expectations and instead are conceived to embody whole new theories or agendas. We call these 'manifesto houses'. This compelling thread in the history of architecture is surveyed by Owen Hopkins. He brings together a collection of twenty-one such manifesto houses, exploring the visions for architecture conjured by Andrea Palladio, Eileen Gray, Frank Lloyd Wright, Harry Seidler, Lina Bo Bardi and Anupama Kundoo, among others.
