Record Houses Live
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss how the projects presented have used local, natural, or unconventional materials as a means of connecting to their sites and providing the houses with a strong sense of craft.
- For each project, describe the designer’s approach to detailing the intersections of various materials and connections between structural and architectural elements.
- Explain how each house has been sited and configured to optimize daylighting and ventilation and to capture views.
- Discuss how the projects presented have reinterpreted vernacular and modern typologies.
- Discuss landscape strategies to make properties more resilient to wildfires or coastal erosion.

Since 1956, the editors of RECORD have looked for houses that upend expectations, push disciplinary limits, and redefine established vocabularies in imaginative ways. This year’s selection showcases nimble responses to diverse landscapes. Forms and tectonics vary, too, from orthogonal compositions to radial ones, from a highly textural brick and stone residence to the latest version of a glass house. Every year, the house proves to be an inexhaustible laboratory for architectural exploration.
