Full Description
Housing
Solutions through Design explores housing design with a special focus on
affordability. It gives the perspectives of academics who research and teach on housing; professionals who design and build, and students who are learning.
The book foregrounds innovative approaches of the designers of today and
tomorrow.
This
book is the second in the Housing the Future Series, one of the aims of which
is to collate a broad sample of the work being done from a design perspective
in universities across the world on the issue of affordable housing. This very
'real' engagement with the issues of housing affordability is a key component
of this series and is why the series invites practitioners to discuss their
work. In Housing Solutions through Design,
those practitioners include an award-winning commercial practice from the UK,
Shed KM, and two of the most important reference points in the area of housing
affordability and community development internationally - the world-renowned
Herman Hertzberger, from the Netherlands, and the US-based but internationally
active Habitat for Humanity. The inclusion of the work of such practices is not
simply important because of their undoubted international status: it is
important because of the work they do and the role models they represent for a
generation of architects and designers who, in the coming years, will be faced
with the need - and the opportunity - to develop new approaches to housing
design.
