Produktbeschreibung

Answering the universal need for public housing, as well as addressing the universe of approaches to the problem, New Developments in Housing examines the latest thinking, from a roster of international contributors, on every facet of the subject. Offering a fair sampling of attitudes and climates, the book's contributors hail from every segment of the globe: the U.K., the East and West Coasts of the U.S., Sweden, Japan, and Austrailia.

---

Practical, technical and topical, this new title from Architectural Design brings together contributions on all aspects of housing around the world: from design solutions to the focus on technical and cultural approaches to affordable innovation in housing design

Housing for the people. What opportunities exist? Who is breaking down the boundaries to create innovative housing stock? Attitudes towards mass housing are changing. Progressive techniques, materials and technologies are opening up new possibilities and new alliances are being hammered out between designers and house builders. Could this signal the onset of a new era of design-conscious mass housing?

With contributors writing from six distinct geographical areas - the UK, the East Coast of the US, the West Coast of the US, Sweden, Japan and Australia - this book provides a global picture of the kinds of solutions available.
