Summary: Technical progress, democratisation and the birth of the avant-garde have revitalised the framework in which architecture has traditionally developed. From Horta to Gaudi, from Rietveld to Chareau, from Aalto to Rem Koolhaas, the great architects of the century have made domestic architecture the locus of their experiments; rejecting the past, they have sought to create the ideal environment for their enlightened patrons. Set like landmarks in the history of the century, these houses testify to the freedom and diversity of modern architecture.
