Summary:
From the almshouses of seventeenth-century Puritans to the massive housing projects of the mid-twentieth century, the struggle over housing assistance in the United States has exposed a deep-seated ambivalence about the place of the urban poor. Lawrence J. Vale's groundbreaking book is both a comprehensive institutional history of public housing in Boston and a broader examination of the nature and extent of public obligation to house socially and economically marginal Americans during the past 350 years.

Summary:
Les années 2000 ont marqué un tournant particulier dans la production de logements collectifs en Suisse en s’orientant vers des recherches formelles et spatiales inédites. Ce phénomène de singularisation semble répondre aux profondes mutations du territoire induites par la densification sur l’intérieur, qui implique de construire dans des situations toujours plus complexes et a engendré de nouveaux «contextes» à habiter. Cet ouvrage propose de mettre en évidence l’évolution des tendances conceptuelles et modalités de relation à ces « contextes », à travers les réflexions de plusieurs contributeurs et la constitution d’une iconographie qui donne à voir ou à revoir l’architecture du logement après que la végétation a poussé et que les habitants se soient appropriés les lieux.

Summary:
L'habitat participatif a pour objet concret le « mieux construire » et le « mieux vivre ». Cet ouvrage présente un large panel d'acteurs qui ont contribué à son essor en France, en le faisant passer du monde des pionniers à celui du logement pour tous. L'habitat participatif se développe d'autant plus rapidement qu'il répond à l'urgence de la transition climatique dans ses trois dimensions économique, environnementale et humaine. Grâce à une quarantaine d'entretiens (accompagnateurs de groupes, architectes, habitants...), l'ouvrage permet de faire connaissance avec la plupart de ces acteurs et repère les principaux pôles d'expertises existant sur le territoire métropolitain. Ce livre constitue à la fois un précieux carnet d'adresses et une cartographie précise des réseaux associatifs concernés. Il est une référence pour les familles et les personnes en recherche de futurs voisins, d'un quartier ou d'un site et d'un accompagnement technique avisé.

Summary:
Home to 20 million people and still growing, Greater Cairo mirrors the global phenomenon of unplanned urban growth. Approximately 60 percent of the population of Africa’s biggest city lives in so-called informal housing, typically five-to-ten-story concrete-and-brick-infill structures built without permits in the desert or on former agricultural land. 'Housing Cairo: The Informal Response' illuminates the architecture of informality and its mechanisms of production through a series of theoretical essays and architectural design proposals. Central to the project is a re-examination of the concept of “informality” itself and its often negative connotations.

Summary:
Sprawling beneath the Acropolis, modern Athens is commonly viewed in negative terms: congested, ugly and monotonous. A Mediterranean version of "informal" urbanism prevalent throughout the so-called developing world, ''Builders, Housewives and the Construction of Modern Athens'' reassesses the explosive growth of post-war Athens through its most distinctive building type, the polykatoikia, a small-scale multi-storey apartment block (from poly meaning "multiple" and oikos meaning "house"). Theocharopoulou re-evaluates the polykatoikia as a low-tech, easily constructible innovation that stimulated the post-war urban economy, triggering the city's social mid-twentieth century transformation, enabling the migrants who poured into Athens to become urban citizens, aspiring to a modern life. The interiors of the polykatoikia apartments reflect a desire for modernity as marketed to housewives through film and magazines. Regular builders became unlikely allies in designing these polykatoikia interiors, enabling inhabitants to exert agency over their daily lives ?and the shape of the post-war city.

Summary:
This book presents a wide selection of interviews and photographs from the collaborations between Willats and residents in the many housing estate projects he makes. The first-hand observations and individual opinions, from the past four decades, record a variety of attitudes and perceptions towards the physical reality of their surroundings. Created outside of the norms and conventions of an object-based art world, the projects in this book, mainly on estates in and around London, but also in Bath, Leeds, Milton Keynes and Oxford, highlight the realities of everyday life in both tower blocks and low-rise planned housing.
