Summary:
Barcelona offers a prime example of the co-housing model as an asset prized for its use value as opposed to investment. This book is a compilation of cooperative housing projects in Barcelona, both complete and under construction. It explains how the co-housing process is managed in terms of architecture, urban planning, financing, legality, and taxation, and delves into the experience of living in a community fueled by a cooperative spirit. The content of the book presents designs for cooperative housing, accompanied by a critical vision of the model’s implications in terms of the transfer of use or co-living. Finished and inhabited projects are compiled along with ongoing projects, to offer a general view of this way of living in Barcelona. The case studies are explained by members of cooperatives, experts and designers who look at aspects of design, sustainability, construction and urban life. This book is a tool for understanding the design and construction of co-housing and the community life that goes on there.

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 all-out war in Ukraine, started by the Russian Federation in 2022 has disproportionally affected housing and residential infrastructure. The destruction is so targeted, and the damage so significant that it has disfigured entire neighborhoods and erased entire cities. With the scale of damage and loss in mind, and the future wide-ranging reconstruction that will inevitably take place after the war, this study examines the history and typologies of mass housing in Ukraine. It does so in order to evaluate what is lost, explain the diversity of modes of urban living that exist in Ukrainian cities, and finally, reconsider the narrative of how Ukrainian housing came about. The study covers the period of the last 100 years: the time of the most dramatic expansion and change in character of Ukrainian cities. It begins with the experimental buildings constructed in the Soviet Central and Eastern Ukraine and Polish Western Ukraine in the 1920s and 1930s, continues by looking at type projects from the Stalin era, as well as the serial apartment blocks built during the reigns of Khrushchev and Brezhnev and in the late USSR. Finally, it showcases individually designed, yet also typical residential buildings from the turbo-capitalist period of the 1990s and 2000s.

Summary:
The expression “low-rise high-density” refers to the ensembles of grouped housing units that maintain characteristics of the individual home, but whose compactness facilitates collective services and amenities, thereby reducing land consumption. These hybrid projects also generate a variety of housing typologies and forms of agglomeration, opening up more sustainable and ecological alternatives. In this atlas of 50 projects from across the United States, Florian Camai and Mathilde Luguet present their observations alongside essays by French and American researchers specialised in suburban areas – an open reflection on the future of suburban living.

Summary:
This book shows how architectural design can improve housing. It looks at 14 innovative multiunit dwelling projects through the lenses of current research on urban housing systems, driven by questions on social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Residential buildings designed for diverse cultural contexts are brought together and examined according to spatial antonyms: the individual and communal, the interior and exterior, and the determined and undetermined, to create a resource for future architectural practice. The book concentrates on design decisions and incorporates rich illustrations and conversations with architects and residents. It follows a series of talks curated by the Melbourne School of Design to extend the debate on the missing links between architectural practice and housing research.
