"A new book, Homes for Our Time, by Philip Jodidio, showcases the quiet
revolution in green residential architecture.

Designers around the world are radically reimagining homes for the climate era.
‘Twenty or 30 years ago, sustainability was often treated as a specialist
concern,’ said Philip Jodidio, author of Homes for Our Time: Sustainable
Living
, published earlier this year. ‘Today it shapes almost every discussion
about housing, from materials and energy use to land consumption and
resilience.’ Ken Nishiguchi’s Earth House, in Okazaki, Japan, is built from
reclaimed stone from an abandoned local quarry."
