Summary:
This reader takes the following assumption as its basis: the ceaseless expansion of the urban periphery has been detrimental to not only urban populations but also the planet at large, corroding its most valuable and scarce resource, land. ''Housing'' proffers redensification as the corrective measure to the failing expansionist approach toward urban planning. Gathered here are case studies of alternative social housing projects from the past century—all of which incorporate methods of redensification. They span the Weißenhofsiedlung Estate (1927) to architectural experiments in suburban Mexico as recent as 2017. These alternative developments have offered solutions to countries experiencing intense population growth and provided sanctuary for those who have lost their homes in natural disasters. Altogether, the projects evince that the problem of urban housing is inextricably bound with the inception and progression of modernism.

Summary:
This book brings together the most recent buildings and projects by the Mexican architect Alberto Kalach, with particular emphasis on the first steps of the process of each of these. As if it were a sort of log or sketch pad, the book sets out to highlight the essence of his ideas and the immediacy of his first few pencil strokes. Structured typologically, the tour through Kalach's work takes in single-family houses, apartment buildings, various designs for tower blocks and his famous project for the lake city (awarded a prize at the 2002 Venice Biennale), in which he proposes rehydrating the dried up aquiferous areas of Mexico City.
