Summary:
In the series ‘Generosity: Housing Design Strategies’, architectural projects identifying with specific design strategies are grouped into four sections: indeterminacy, exteriority, privacy, and interactivity. At the core of the series is the concept of generosity, an essential quality for the design of collective housing. Generosity transforms the condition of the built volume and makes it habitable, generating comfort, well-being, and much more. The second issue in the series focuses on the experience of exteriority, featuring work by Atelier Kempe Thill, Caruso St John Architects, Studio Woodroffe Papa, MVRDV, Henley Halebrown, Schneider Studer Primas, Vivas Arquitectos, and more.

Summary:
The construction of domestic privacy has been a gradual process which has transformed the physical space. Perceptions of self and our relationship with the exterior have also shifted. The house is a protected environment which facilitates tranquillity, privacy, withdrawal, and concentration, away from the public realm. Finding thresholds to develop communication in the intermediate space, not entirely public but in fact a shared place of social encounters, remains a key issue for architects today. With contributions by Stephen Bates, Javier Mozas, and Aurora Fernádez, this volume dedicates itself to examining strategies in how privacy can be built in the collective housing environment.

Summary:
With imaginative and hopeful methods to navigate counter to the mainstream, community architecture is an alternative built with basic means. It is appearing in numerous cities stressed by a turbulent market, where people are finding it increasingly difficult to access housing. How do we interact with others within habitable space, and how do we work towards a more sustainable and equitable future? This final issue of the series, dedicated to collective housing, tackles these questions and more. It includes twelve cooperative housing projects which respond to the four conditions that contribute to a design based on generosity: indeterminacy, exteriority, privacy, and interactivity.

Summary:
The contemporary workplace has derived from successive compression and decompression. First, there was the hierarchical Taylorist office. Then came the rational, well-lit and organised space with individual cubicles. A return to the open landscape office came later, with free layouts shrouded in vegetation – the forerunner of the dematerialisation of the workplace. Today, we are in a far more fluid state that envisages the specialisation of space and brand expression: diversity and identity. The workplace should not only encompass tasks like individual and group work, but also those involving learning and socialising.
