Homes for Our Time: Sustainable Living published by Taschen

Homes for Our Time: Sustainable Living surveys contemporary houses that respond to climate, materials, energy, and local conditions in materially different ways, treating sustainable living as an architectural problem rather than a single visual style.

“I would return to this often because the projects offer genuinely different answers to how a house can be generous, intelligent, and lighter on its surroundings. That repeated usefulness is what gives a book permanence in a home.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Keep the book in a cool, dry, stable interior away from prolonged direct sunlight, radiators, vents, leaks, and high humidity. Because of its scale and weight, store it flat and fully supported when upright shelving would strain the binding; lift it with two hands rather than by the spine. Dust the cover and page edges gently with a clean, dry, soft cloth; never use household cleaners on the binding or pages.

Publisher / Heritage

Taschen was founded by Benedikt Taschen in Cologne in 1980 and remains an independent, family-run publisher. Its illustrated program spans art, architecture, design, photography, fashion, film, travel, lifestyle, and visual culture, with formats ranging from compact series to large-scale monographs, facsimiles, and collector editions. Across these books, reproduction, book design, and physical scale are treated as part of the editorial experience.
