How can we meet the needs of children and young people? Just over 20% of the UK population is under the age of 18, yet they remain largely ignored when it comes to designing the places where they live. In this book, leading architect Dinah Bornat shows how we can shape communities for and with children and young people, as well as the benefits this can achieve. It combines compelling evidence, guidance and illustrated case studies to provide practical solutions for replacing, refurbishing, and reinvigorating an ageing housing stock through child-friendly design. It has become increasingly important for everyone involved in built environment projects to demonstrate a commitment to social value. This book provides opportunities to realise social value in a number of ways, including better engagement.

Résumé:
his is a book about socio-spatial dynamics, the intertwinement of design and politics, and the agency of the architect(s) in rethinking collectivity and collective practices in architecture. In response to the commodification of housing and the ongoing global housing crisis, the publication addresses access to adequate housing as a fundamental human right. It looks at historical and contemporary socially-oriented housing precedents in Norway and Europe to imagine twenty-first- century not-for-profit housing alternatives in Oslo for marginalized populations and diversified family configurations. Beyond formalism, it also argues that innovative architectural solutions in a perspective of systemic societal change need to come from design processes rooted in community, cooperation, and equity. In a later section, the book expands on how radical, emancipatory pedagogies in architecture can facilitate critical thinking and action. The different visions of collectivity put forth here urge spatial practitioners, activists, and students to deeply engage with social justice by means of design and education. With contributions by Paul-Antoine Lucas, Bui Quy Son, Céline Zimmer, Patricia Lucena Ventura, Nagy Makhlouf, Aurélie M. Nzuzi De Mol, Rosaura Noemy Hernandez Romero, María Mazzanti.

Who are breaking the boundaries to create innovative housing stock? Are attitudes changing towards what is possible? How are the employment of pre-fabrication techniques, materials and information technologies being harnessed? Or could the new alliances that are being hammered out between designers and housebuilders signal the onset of a new era of design-conscious private mass housing? With contributors writing on six distinct geographical areas –Australia, Japan, The Netherlands, Sweden, the UK and the UK – as well as emergency dwellings, a worldwide perspective is established.

Résumé:
Imagine affordable homes that are both well-designed and environmentally friendly, better for the families who live in them and for the planet. The HOME House Project brings such imagining closer to reality. This book chronicles a multi-year national design initiative aimed at addressing issues of design, affordability, and sustainability in housing. Launched by the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, this project challenged designers and architects to imagine a world in which sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, technologies, and techniques were considered important elements of housing for low- and moderate-income families. A SECCA-sponsored open competition in 2003 drew 440 entries from the United States and six other countries, all using Habitat for Humanity's three- and four-bedroom house plans as a point of departure for the design of affordable and environmentally friendly housing. This book, published in conjunction with a traveling exhibition, documents the 25 prize-winning designs as well as fifty other selected submissions with 396 colour illustrations. The accompanying text includes Michael Sorkin's essay connecting democratic values to quality of housing, Ben Nicholson's satiric critique of American excess, Steve Badanes's insights on the social responsibilities of architects, and HOME House Project Director David Brown's overview of the project and its continuing evolution.

Résumé:
Written by an architect who has been designing and building affordable housing for thirty years, this well-illustrated book is both a call to create well-designed places for the homeless and a review of innovative and successful building designs that now serve diverse communities across the United States. Sam Davis argues for safe and functional architectural designs and programs that symbolically reintegrate the homeless into society in buildings that offer beauty, security, and hope to those most in need. Davis presents a new perspective, considering the personal concerns of the homeless, the social costs of homelessness, and organizational and design issues. He examines problems of community fit and site planning, building design and orga-nization, and interior layout and suggests how to weigh costs and optimize expenditures. He asks and answers a range of challenging questions: What is possible and desirable when designing a new facility for the homeless? Should it be elegant or unassuming? What types of spaces should be included? How should it look and what should it feel like? Should it be more like a house or more like a dormitory? What is the proper balance between function, quality of construction, and architectural delight? Designing for the Homeless recounts how various communities have addressed the problem of housing the homeless, beginning with one of the most ambitious plans, the St. Vincent de Paul Village in San Diego, which opened in 1987. Davis vividly recounts the plight of those who become homeless.

Résumé:
In view of the growing number of diverse life styles, the search for flexible, adaptable floor plans has become a fundamental issue in residential building. That the continued demand in urban centres can only be responsibly satisfied by high-density housing is undisputed. More than ever before, building high-density housing is a complex, diverse and challenging task for planners and architects. This book presents international projects which document the breadth and complexity of the task, from the design of the floor plans, the development and use of resources, to the use of economically beneficial building systems. The high quality of the architecture and construction in such residential areas can be clearly seen in the uniform illustrations of the floor plans, and large-scale drawings of details which facilitate comparison. The introductory contributions discuss extensively the difficult and provocative topic of floor plan design and development. This book is a comprehensive review of the current state of residential building, the perspectives, trends and future developments.
