Summary:
Mass housing and prefabrication shaped global modernist architecture like no other aspect of industrialised construction. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how both conventional and experimental prototypes and series gave rise to an architecture for all, often responding to crises, the imperatives of nation-building, and housing shortages by rapidly developing, distributing, and assembling structures. The authors scrutinise the cultural impact of mass housing and prefabrication, tracing this influence through exhibitions, memory culture, and typologies, ultimately concluding with an outlook on the preservation and repair of structures and their adaptation for the future.

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:
How can we meet the needs of children and young people? Just over 20% of the UK population is under the age of 18, yet they remain largely ignored when it comes to designing the places where they live. In this book, leading architect Dinah Bornat shows how we can shape communities for and with children and young people, as well as the benefits this can achieve. It combines compelling evidence, guidance and illustrated case studies to provide practical solutions for replacing, refurbishing, and reinvigorating an ageing housing stock through child-friendly design. It has become increasingly important for everyone involved in built environment projects to demonstrate a commitment to social value. This book provides opportunities to realise social value in a number of ways, including better engagement.

Price:

Summary:
his is a book about socio-spatial dynamics, the intertwinement of design and politics, and the agency of the architect(s) in rethinking collectivity and collective practices in architecture. In response to the commodification of housing and the ongoing global housing crisis, the publication addresses access to adequate housing as a fundamental human right. It looks at historical and contemporary socially-oriented housing precedents in Norway and Europe to imagine twenty-first- century not-for-profit housing alternatives in Oslo for marginalized populations and diversified family configurations. Beyond formalism, it also argues that innovative architectural solutions in a perspective of systemic societal change need to come from design processes rooted in community, cooperation, and equity. In a later section, the book expands on how radical, emancipatory pedagogies in architecture can facilitate critical thinking and action. The different visions of collectivity put forth here urge spatial practitioners, activists, and students to deeply engage with social justice by means of design and education. With contributions by Paul-Antoine Lucas, Bui Quy Son, Céline Zimmer, Patricia Lucena Ventura, Nagy Makhlouf, Aurélie M. Nzuzi De Mol, Rosaura Noemy Hernandez Romero, María Mazzanti.

Summary:
Cette deuxième édition apporte au lecteur des éléments de réflexion et d’information actuels sur la conception et la construction des logements collectifs, dans le secteur social aussi bien qu’en promotion privée. L’un des apports majeurs de cette nouvelle édition est l’ouverture à la dimension européenne. Produites dans des contextes culturels, économiques, réglementaires, techniques encore très différents, ces opérations peuvent toutes contribuer à une réflexion générale. Autre nouveauté de cet ouvrage, la question de l’aménagement est plus développée, le logement restant un élément structurant de la ville. Le lotissement et la maison de ville, assimilés à des collectifs horizontaux, ont également fait leur apparition. Ainsi, à propos de la réhabilitation, la thématique du renouvellement urbain domine, au point de faire passer l’intervention sur le bâti en second plan. Enfin, les préoccupations environnementales, simplement évoquées dans la première édition, sont considérablement développées. Le propos est renforcé par de nombreux témoignages et la présentation de 21 opérations exemplaires, de taille et de vocabulaire architectural très divers, qui font de ce livre un outil indispensable.
