Summary:
Il s’invente aujourd’hui à Paris de nouvelles architectures du logement. Ces immeubles collectifs à peine livrés ou encore en projet explorent par nécessité ou opportunité des situations urbaines inédites. Ce faisant, ils questionnent les formes traditionnelles de l’habitat et leur fabrication. Certains expérimentent également des stratégies de construction décarbonées, d’autres anticipent les modes de vie de demain ou interrogent la notion même de propriété. Il faut construire mieux et consommer moins, pour habiter plus et habiter mieux. L’ouvrage « Habiter Mieux - Habiter Plus » souhaite mettre ces enjeux à la portée de tous, en présentant une soixantaine de projets classés selon les questions qu’ils soulèvent dans l’habitat au quotidien.

Le coliving serait-il l'innovation la plus disruptive du logement contemporain ? À l'instar du co-working, qui a révolutionné en quelques années l'industrie tertiaire sur tous les continents, cette cohabitation d'un nouveau genre annoncerait-elle la typologie de l'habitat urbain de demain ? Vertueux et économe dans ses espaces, généreux dans ses usages, flexible dans sa temporalité, agile dans ses services et stimulant pour ses résidents, le coliving apparaît comme la promesse de l'habitat collectif idéal ; en particulier pour la génération milléniale. Réalisée grâce à la participation de trente lieux internationaux, l'étude HOMY menée par les architectes Christelle Gautreau et Stéphanie Morio, dans le cadre de l'accélérateur ''FAIRE'', interroge les notions d'usage et d'espace, d'urbanisme et de services, de typologies et de lifestyle, de surface et de durée, d'aménagement et de réseau professionnel.

Summary:
"A House Is Not Just a House" argues precisely that. The book traces Tatiana Bilbao’s diverse work on housing ranging from large-scale social projects to single-family luxury homes. These projects offer a way of thinking about the limits of housing: where it begins and where it ends. Regardless of type, her work advances an argument on housing that is simultaneously expansive and minimal, inseparable from the broader environment outside of it and predicated on the fundamental requirements of living. Working within the turbulent history of social housing in Mexico, Bilbao argues for participating even when circumstances are less than ideal—and from this participation she is able to propose specific strategies learned in Mexico for producing housing elsewhere.

Summary:
Affordable housing is an enduring political challenge. Cities have endeavored to set international standards for this important field of architecture since the 1920s. Planners must work within a socially motivated tradition to find exemplary solutions both at the political and architectural level. This building catalogue documents over 130 residential buildings dedicated to affordable housing. It presents floor plans, large photos, key data, and clear diagrams, providing a comprehensive overview of the solutions being tested today. The publication is rounded off with ten affordable housing concepts that were designed as part of the ''Housing for All'' competition, organized by the Frankfurt Department of Planning and Housing, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, and ABG Frankfurt Holding. Renowned architecture practices based in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France were invited to submit design concepts for building sites in the Hilgenfeld area of Frankfurt. These concepts will reignite the contemporary discourse on affordable housing – in Frankfurt and beyond.

Summary:
Throughout the twentieth century, housing displays have proven to be a singular genre of architectural and design exhibitions. By crossing geographies and adopting multiple scales of observation – from domestic space to urban visions – this volume investigates a set of unexplored events devoted to housing and dwelling, organised by technical, professional, cultural or governmental institutions from the interwar years to the Cold War. The book offers a first critical assessment of twentieth-century housing exhibits and explores the role of exhibitions in the codification of notions of domesticity, social models, policies, and architectural and urban discourse. At the intersection of housing studies and the history of exhibitions, ''The Housing Project'' not only offers a novel angle on architectural history but also enriches scholarly perspectives in urban studies, cultural and media history, design, and consumption studies.

Summary:
Building Subjects, the fourth issue of Standpunkte Magazine, is a collaboration between the architect De Peter Yi, the art historian Nancy P. Lin, and the graphic design studios Normal and Some All None. The publication revolves around collective housing in China, an architectural challenge expressive of the country's ongoing negotiations between its rich history and undetermined future. The study combines typological research with the modes of the architectural manifesto by establishing an exchange between cultural-historical observations, the consideration of contemporary socio-economic pressures, and evolving architectural aspirations. Through a close reading of spaces from monumental utopian communes in Beijing to round earthen dwellings in the Fujian province, Building Subjects stages collective housing as a key to residential architecture in China. The publication is simultaneously inward and outward looking, and this duality is also reflected in its meticulously composed layout: documentary photography and detailed axonometric drawings are juxtaposed to establish a correspondence between old and new, between reality and projection.

Summary:
Durant l’hiver 2015, sept familles d’Ivry-sur-Seine, en première couronne parisienne, identifient un terrain disponible et décident de se lancer dans l’aventure d’un habitat participatif en autopromotion. Le livre retrace leurs échanges intenses, essentiellement par courriel, durant les trois années nécessaires au montage d’opération et s’achève avec l’obtention du permis de construire et des prêts bancaires. Ce journal au plus près du réel est un document unique en son genre parmi les récits d’habitat participatif. Il raconte la découverte et l’appropriation d’un univers : ses enjeux, son processus, la particularité du travail avec l’architecte, les relations avec les banques… mais aussi la part humaine qui fait que le sentiment d’un collectif émerge peu à peu de la somme des individualités.
