Book 3. Global Dimensions in Housing: Approaches in Design and Theory from Europe to the Pacific Rim

https://www.libripublishing.co.uk/Products/CatID/11/ProdID=205

Editor: Day, K.

This book, the third in the ‘Housing the Future’ series, is inspired by the need to deal with a critical issue at a critical time – the provision of affordable and decent housing. We see in this book that housing is an issue played out against a background of disparate policy interventions, resistances and conflicting aspirations; an issue involving architects, planners, developers, sociologists, artists, housing associations, community representatives, policy makers and more.

 

Book 2. Housing Solutions through Design 

https://www.libripublishing.co.uk/Products/CatID/11/ProdID=184

Editors: Day, K;  Chatzichristou, C.

Housing Solutions through Design collates 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, including the award winning Shed KM, the world-renowned Herman Hertzberger, and the US-based but internationally active Habitat for Humanity.

 

Book 1. Housing The Future – Alternative Approaches for Tomorrow 

https://www.libripublishing.co.uk/Products/ProdID=142

Editors: Potts, G; Menard, R; Cairns, C.

Housing The Future – Alternative Approaches for Tomorrow offers three perspectives on the problems of housing today with an eye on tomorrow. It brings together world-leading practicing architects with academics from seven countries and teams of international students. World leaders in the field of residential design such as UN Habitat Award winner Avi Friedman present built projects whose design criteria and aims they lay out in text. Academics from the UK, the USA, Spain, Germany and elsewhere are also included.
