Summary:
The housing shortage is a global problem that cannot be resolved through market-driven models of home ownership. This book, therefore, postulates a radical shift from house to housing and from the individual to the collective. The reintroduction of the term "collective" is here understood as a mechanism to refocus housing as a community-building, solidarity-building, and city-building activity. The book addresses the topic in four chapters—from alternative urban housing typologies and concepts of communal construction to historical models from which the current housing struggle can learn. The individual essays include examples from five different continents.

Summary:
Mass-produced housing became increasingly prevalent through the second half of the twentieth century and is now found around the globe. Though its popularity and growing adoption have been primarily connected to the post–World War II housing boom, Etien Santiago weaves together architectural, construction, and sociopolitical history to reveal how its foundations were laid earlier, during World War I. Prior to World War I, buildings that were made serially—quickly, cheaply, and in large numbers—were typically limited to utilitarian colonial or military applications. Such buildings were moreover assumed to be temporary. Yet the Great War shattered these assumptions, pushing architects, designers, and engineers to appropriate military advances in construction to create a new form of permanent residential architecture. A Barrage of Houses charts the rise of mass-produced dwellings in France from 1914 to the mid-1920s, as demonstrated through housing designs by Auguste and Gustave Perret, Henri Sauvage, and Le Corbusier.

Summary:
Au détour d’un projet de reportage devenu un projet de livre, la journaliste Eugénie Emond assiste pendant un an aux rencontres Zoom hebdomadaires d’un groupe d’aînées qui souhaite mettre sur pied une forme d’habitation collective qui leur permettrait de vivre leur vieillesse dans des conditions qui leur conviennent. Mené par la colorée Suzanne, le collectif Coasis vit des espoirs et des déceptions sous l’œil observateur de l’autrice qui se demande si leur rêve est possible et s’il peut bien exister une telle chose que des conditions idéales en matière d’habitation.? ? À notre époque où la question du logement est liée à l’enjeu de la précarité et où le vieillissement de la population semble nous prendre de court même s’il avait été annoncé depuis des décennies, cette bande dessinée documentaire illustrée par Camille Loquet présente un regard tendre et parfois dubitatif sur une galerie de personnages. D’une réflexion sur les alternatives dans le domaine du logement, ce documentaire est aussi devenu un regarde unique sur les aspirations d’une génération qui veut garder ses rêves en vie et en santé.

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.
