Summary:
John Turner's classic essay now in its fourht edition makes a unique contribution to housing theory and practice. His three Laws of Housing summarize the psychological, social and economic basis of his thesis: 1. When people have no control over, nor responsibility for, key decisions in the housing process, dwelling environments may become a barrier to personal fulfilment and a burden on the economy. 2. The important thing about housing is not what it is, but what it does in people's lives. 3. Deficiencies and imperfections in your housing are infinitely more tolerable if they are your responsibility than if they are somebody else's.

Thanks to an automatic reputation of lively urbanity, old neighbourhoods are extremely popular with residents. New buildings, however, can capture some of this charm too, like the variety of successful projects presented in this volume from the “best of DETAIL” series.

Summary:
Thanks to an automatic reputation of lively urbanity, old neighbourhoods are extremely popular with residents. New buildings, however, can capture some of this charm too, like the variety of successful projects presented in this volume from the “best of DETAIL” series. In the end, it’s a question of mixed usage – residential and commercial as well as open spaces and opportunities for old and young residents of various nationalities and different social structures. Even in these times of an increasingly digitally connected society, urbanity still manages to express itself largely through diversity. In addition to surprising theses on high-density housing, this publication presents a refreshingly inviting selection of projects from around the world that would give anyone the desire to move to the city.

Summary:
The SOLID Harvard GSD series gathers material from the four Symposia on Architecture held at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design from 2014 to 2016, entitled ‘All that is Solid’. This issue, the third and final part of the series, offers a close reading of the interior in the context of contemporary architecture. It contains recent projects and relevant voices in support of the importance of the interior and the intimate material knowledge architects must demonstrate. With contributions from Richard Sennett, Kiel Moe, Salmaan Craig, and Iñaki Ábalos, it not only reflects the current complexity and the challenges faced by the discipline, but also traces future paths to explore.
