The revolutionary effect of cyberspace on working space and living space is documented in this concentrated look at how traditional homes are changing to keep pace with the emergence of new technologies.  As Internet communication allows more and more people to leave centralized offices and do their jobs at home, residential spaces are being transformed to accommodate these new lifestyles. This book examines the many imaginative ways architects and interior designers have combined working and living spaces in a variety of settings, shown in numerous photographs, detailed plans, and sketches.

From Minimalism to Maximalism

Karl Friedrich Schinkel (Prussia 1781–1841 Berlin) was appointed Surveyor to the Prussian Building Commission shortly after the Franco-Prussian war. He designed a series of buildings that became symbols of Prussia's cultural ambitions and national pride. The general disenchantment with France led Schinkel to design in a Neo-Greco style that symbolically recalled the political and moral freedom of Athenian Greece.

Le Corbusier (Switzerland, 1887-1965) set up his studio in Paris in 1922, and designed houses that could be mass-produced to conform to a new machine aesthetic incorporating his trademark five points of architecture. During World War II, he started building the Unite d'habitation, houses which were a rejection of his earlier industrial forms.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser's (Vienna,1928–2000) style as an architect was heavily influenced by Antoni Gaudí and some of the Jugendstil architects. His inclusion of irregular, almost accidental forms grew out of his antipathy to what he saw as the severity and austerity in modern architecture. Over the course of his career he developed revolutionary ecological stands with regard to architecture which earned him the nickname "Architecture-Healer."

Antoni Gaudí (Catalonia, 1852–Barcelona, 1926) became an architect in 1878. His work is concentrated in Barcelona and led to the creation of its most notable landmarks. Gaudí was a pioneer in his field, using color, texture, and forms never before imagined. His works, particularly those built for the Güell family (e.g. the Park Güell), stand as testimony to his genius.

Mario Botta (*1943, Switzerland) trained as a technical draftsman and was an assistant to Le Corbusier and later Louis Kahn. He has attempted to reconcile traditional architectural symbolism with the aesthetic rules of the Modern Movement. 
Botta gained international acclaim for such buildings as the Capuchin convent in Lugano. In the 1980's, he designed the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.

Tadao Ando (*1941, Osaka/Japan) did not receive any formal architectural schooling. Ando rejects the rampant consumerism visible within much of today's architecture. In opposition to traditional Japanese architecture, he creates spaces of enclosure rather than openness. He uses walls to establish a human zone and to counter the monotony of commercial architecture.
