The twentieth century offered up countless visions of domestic life, from the aspirational to the radical. But what happened to those visions? Whether it was the dream of the fully mechanised home or the notion that technology might free us from home altogether, the domestic realm was a site of endless invention and speculation.
Home Futures: Living in Yesterday's Tomorrow -accompanying a major Design Museum exhibition of the same title-explores a number of different attitudes toward domestic life, tracing the social and technological developments that have driven change in the home.It proposes that we are already living in yesterday's tomorrow, just not in the way anyone predicted. Are the smart homes of today the future that architects and designers once predicted, or has `home' proved resistant to radical change? This book begins with a lavishly illustrated catalogue portraying the `home futures' of the twentieth century and beyond, from the work of Ettore Sottsass and Joe Colombo to Google's recent forays into the smart home.
The catalogue is followed by a reader consisting of newly commissioned essays by writers such as Dan Hill and Justin McGuirk, which explore the changes in the domestic realm in relation to space, technology, society, economy and psychology.
