Summary:
Changing social structures and systems call for new forms of architecture. This book by the five-member team +RAMTV was written at the celebrated Design Research Laboratory of the Architectural Association in London. Taking Le Corbusier’s Unités d’habitation as their starting point, the authors develop a flexible system that permits them to take optimal account of social and cultural conditions in their design processes. The future residents inject their ideas into the discussion via the Internet and thus influence and, to some extent, newly generate their environment.
