Résumé:
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:
Construire un trois-pièces pour moins d’un million d’anciens francs (environ 23 000 €). Tel est l’objectif de l’opération Million lancée en France en 1954 par le gouvernement ; la crise du logement est alors à son apogée. L’agence de Georges Candilis, Alexis Josic et Shadrach Woods remporte le concours organisé l’année suivante et construira près de 4 300 logements sur vingt-huit sites. Tour à tour enquête et plaidoyer, l’ouvrage de Korinna Zinovia Weber relate cet épisode majeur et méconnu de la construction des années d’après-guerre et milite pour que les grands ensembles soient reconnus en tant que patrimoine architectural. Que reste-t-il de l’opération Million soixante-dix ans après sa mise en oeuvre ? Partant du terrain, l’autrice dresse un état des lieux, fait le relevé des bâtiments, ausculte leur matérialité, retrace leurs transformations successives : rénovations plus ou moins lourdes, démolitions partielles ou totales. Elle revient sur la genèse de l’opération et souligne la pertinence des choix architecturaux d’origine : organisation des bâtiments, typologie des logements, innovations constructives. Sensible et engagée, Korinna Zinovia Weber nous conduit au cœur de l’opération Million à la rencontre de toutes ses parties prenantes, sans oublier les habitants mobilisés pour sauvegarder leurs lieux de vie face aux intérêts financiers et politiques. Dénuée de tout fétichisme pour l’architecture moderne, l’autrice construit une connaissance utile et opératoire sur les grands ensembles, et nous invite à réapprendre à les transformer et à les habiter dans le contexte de ce premier quart du XXIe siècle confronté à une double crise, du logement et du climat.

Résumé:
The housing shortage is a global problem that cannot be resolved through market-driven models of home ownership. This book, therefore, postulates a radical shift from house to housing and from the individual to the collective. The reintroduction of the term "collective" is here understood as a mechanism to refocus housing as a community-building, solidarity-building, and city-building activity. The book addresses the topic in four chapters—from alternative urban housing typologies and concepts of communal construction to historical models from which the current housing struggle can learn. The individual essays include examples from five different continents.

Résumé:
Mass-produced housing became increasingly prevalent through the second half of the twentieth century and is now found around the globe. Though its popularity and growing adoption have been primarily connected to the post–World War II housing boom, Etien Santiago weaves together architectural, construction, and sociopolitical history to reveal how its foundations were laid earlier, during World War I. Prior to World War I, buildings that were made serially—quickly, cheaply, and in large numbers—were typically limited to utilitarian colonial or military applications. Such buildings were moreover assumed to be temporary. Yet the Great War shattered these assumptions, pushing architects, designers, and engineers to appropriate military advances in construction to create a new form of permanent residential architecture. A Barrage of Houses charts the rise of mass-produced dwellings in France from 1914 to the mid-1920s, as demonstrated through housing designs by Auguste and Gustave Perret, Henri Sauvage, and Le Corbusier.

Résumé:
Au détour d’un projet de reportage devenu un projet de livre, la journaliste Eugénie Emond assiste pendant un an aux rencontres Zoom hebdomadaires d’un groupe d’aînées qui souhaite mettre sur pied une forme d’habitation collective qui leur permettrait de vivre leur vieillesse dans des conditions qui leur conviennent. Mené par la colorée Suzanne, le collectif Coasis vit des espoirs et des déceptions sous l’œil observateur de l’autrice qui se demande si leur rêve est possible et s’il peut bien exister une telle chose que des conditions idéales en matière d’habitation.? ? À notre époque où la question du logement est liée à l’enjeu de la précarité et où le vieillissement de la population semble nous prendre de court même s’il avait été annoncé depuis des décennies, cette bande dessinée documentaire illustrée par Camille Loquet présente un regard tendre et parfois dubitatif sur une galerie de personnages. D’une réflexion sur les alternatives dans le domaine du logement, ce documentaire est aussi devenu un regarde unique sur les aspirations d’une génération qui veut garder ses rêves en vie et en santé.

Résumé:
This wide-ranging book examines the world’s most significant large-scale housing complexes, which point the way for the future of housing design. The seventy residential complexes featured here are recognized as architectural milestones, embodying forward-thinking attitudes towards urban planning. This book chronicles the evolution of these structures, revealing how each best represented its era’s goals: housing a new society in the 1920s and 30s; the 40s and 50s’ leap toward functionality and the future; the high-density urban projects of the 60s and 70s; and diversity and environmental awareness in the 80s and 90s. It also looks at this century’s most progressive developments: Beijing’s Looped Hybrid, a city within a city; India’s Aranya township, which provides housing for impoverished residents; and the environmentally friendly Solaire Apartments in Manhattan, among others. As today’s cities face myriad global challenges, this book provides ample food for thought for anyone concerned with socially responsible architecture.

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.
