houses of the future

The House for the Future, sometimes called House of the Future and more recently renamed Ty Gwyrdd (Welsh for 'Green House'), is a modern house located in the St Fagans National History Museum on the western edge of Cardiff, Wales. Completed in 2000, it was originally a showcase of the latest green building technologies, but was later transformed into an education centre. It was described by architectural writer Owen Hatherley as "a rather ambitiuous gesture for a place devoted to reconstructing the past".
