The Secret Life of the Modern House: The evolution of the way we live now

Architectural and design writer Dominic Bradbury chronicles the dramatic transformation of residential living over the past century in his book. Spanning from the late 19th century to the present, Bradbury explores how houses have been reinvented, influenced by giants like Art Deco, Modernists like Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, and post-war innovators like Eero Saarinen and Philip Johnson. Through eighteen thematic chapters, he reveals the progress of “modernity” and the secret history of our homes.
