Contemporary Issues in Housing Design by Kutay Güler Pdf

The word ‘house’ has evolved throughout the millennia and infused itself into many languages; however, the basic reference to covering and sheltering has always been preserved. Housing in the contemporary sense refers to a relatively complex structure comprising different shapes and sizes accommodating various functionalities, evolving in accordance with cultural, social, technological, and natural progresses. A house provides more than basic protection, but is the backdrop for the daily lives of occupants, and even a reflection of an individual’s character, beliefs, and socioeconomic status. This book discusses an array of critical contemporary issues on housing design pertaining to sustainable practices, emerging technologies, heritage conservation, humanitarian efforts, fictional environments and their effects on occupants’ physical and psychological experience and well-being. As such, it will serve to develop further understanding and to enrich the perspectives of any designer and educator invested in the subject.

Under Pressure by Hina Jamelle Pdf

Under Pressure is about instigation and design in urban housing. Urban housing is a bellwether for economic, social, and political change. It varies widely in quality, typology, and audience and lies between the formal systems of urban infrastructure and the informal systems of daily life. Housing’s complexity offers unique and exciting opportunities to architects. Its entwinement with private equity and public agencies presents important challenges amplified by urbanization. This book gathers and contextualizes relevant conversations in urban housing unfolding today across architecture through four topics: Learning from History, Changing Domesticities, Housing Finance and Policy, and Design and Material Innovation. The result is a multi-disciplinary amalgam of research and design intelligence from thought leaders in the fields of architecture, real estate, economics, policy, material design, and finance.

The Changing Image of Affordable Housing by Ulduz Maschaykh Pdf

Illustrated by a range of case studies of affordable housing options in Canada, this book examines the liveability and affordability of twenty-first-century residential architecture. Focussing on the architects’ and communities’ commitment to these housing programmes, as well as that of the private building sector, it stresses the importance of the context of the neighbourhoods in which they are placed, which are either in the process of urban transition or already gentrified. In doing so, the book shows how, and to what extent, twenty-first-century dwelling architecture developments can help to create an integrated sense of community, diminish social and demographic exclusions in a neighbourhood and incorporate people’s desires as to what their buildings should look like. This book shows that there are significant architectural projects that help to meet the needs and desires of low- to middle-income households as well as homeowners, and that gentrification does not necessarily lead to the displacement of low-income families and singles if housing policies such as those highlighted in this book are put into place. Moreover, the migration of the middle class can result in a healthy mix of classes out of which everyone can enjoy a peaceful and habitable coexistence.

Housing Design (Classic Reprint) by Eugene Henry Klaber Pdf

Excerpt from Housing Design The attempt here is to express and illustrate these principles so that those who design housing may have them as a background and can go forward with their work without too much stumbling over details and the consequent waste of time. This is no encyclopedia of housing, nor does it pretend to give final answers to the complex problems of housing design, many of which arise from economic and social conditions beyond the designer's control. It will accomplish its purpose if it prepares de signers to cope with those problems with awareness of the ways and needs of human living, if it prepares men and women who have inquisi tive minds and who develop their own methods of attack. A word to students. In housing, every act and decision affects the lives of others and may continue to do so for decades, hence clear think ing and intellectual honesty are essential. Simple as this may seem, clear thinking is extremely difficult in an age of advertising slogans and high pressure salesmanship which try to force one's thinking into certain channels and often to sell an inferior product by a formula of laudatory words. How many enriched foods have added nutritive value which is but a fraction of what the processor has extracted initially? This method of using cliches to sell goods to the public is also present in the field of architecture. Half the words which are bandied around in the name of modern architecture at cock tail parties are of this kind. No great art was ever created or fostered by words; it has always arisen out of work in the shop. We must there fore try to judge things for what they are, rather than by the words that are currently used about them. I shall content myself with citing three examples of contemporary architectural cliches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Housing Design by Eugene Henry Klaber Pdf

Excerpt from Housing Design This book is for those who are concerned with the physical design of housing: architects, developers, lenders, and students. It has been written because in my nine years of Government service in housing, I had occasion to examine approximately two thousand proposals for housing projects and frequently found that the plans presented ignored elementary principles of housing design which should be common knowledge, which, in fact, are the indispensable tools of the craft. On the other hand there were many projects which were designed with great competence by architects with fresh and brilliant ideas. From these I have learned much; indeed, this book owes much to what they taught me. The attempt here is to express and illustrate these principles so that those who design housing may have them as a background and can go forward with their work without too much stumbling over details and the consequent waste of time. This is no encyclopedia of housing, nor does it pretend to give final answers to the complex problems of housing design, many of which arise from economic and social conditions beyond the designer's control. It will accomplish its purpose if it prepares designers to cope with those problems with awareness of the ways and needs of human living, if it prepares men and women who have inquisitive minds and who develop their own methods of attack.

Housing Design Quality by Matthew Carmona Pdf

This book directly addresses the major planning debate of our time - the delivery and quality of new housing development. As pressure for new housing development in England increases, a widespread desire to improve the design of the resulting residential environments becomes evermore apparent with increasing condemnation of the standard products of the volume housebuilders. In recent years central government has come to accept the need to deliver higher quality living environments, and the important role of the planning system in helping to raise design standards. Housing Design Quality focuses on this role and in particular on how the various policy instruments available to public authorities can be used in a positive manner to deliver higher quality residential developments.

The New Urban House by Jonathan Bell,Ellie Stathaki Pdf

A stunning anthology of contemporary houses that showcases the ways that architecture can respond to local urban challenges while enhancing modern city living Architects face many challenges when designing a modern urban house. Environmental performance, aesthetics, technical logistics, material concerns, site constraints--these are all considerations that have the potential to limit what architects can achieve, but that also can inspire creative solutions. In addition, each city's history, obstacles, and opportunities influence local design approaches. Superbly illustrated with 600 color images, this expansive compendium offers fascinating insights into building modern houses on a local level. Jonathan Bell and Ellie Stathaki have selected urban structures from around the world to serve as both exemplary solutions and standout works of art--in Beijing and Mexico City, Athens and Tokyo, Los Angeles and Cape Town. By examining buildings on six continents, from both emerging architects and established studios such as Zaha Hadid Architects, MVRDV, and Johnston Marklee, this stunning volume explores the many ways in which architecture can enhance the experience of dwelling in a modern city by responding to traditional styles and challenges of site and providing a broader understanding of place.

Global Dwelling by K. Hadjri,L. Madrazo, I.O. Durosaiye Pdf

A selection of papers from the proceedings of the Third OIKONET Conference is contained in this book. OIKONET is a European project co-funded by the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) with the purpose of studying contemporary housing from a multidisciplinary and global perspective by encompassing the multiple dimensions which condition the forms of dwelling in today’s societies: architectural, urban, environmental, economic, cultural and social. Following on from the first two OIKONET conferences held respectively in Barcelona, Spain in 2014 and Bratislava, Slovakia in 2015, the third conference took place in Manchester, the UK in 2016. Providing a valuable resource for students, lecturers, researchers and others with an interest in housing studies, the papers included in this book cover three themes, namely sustainability of housing environments, innovation in housing design and planning, and participation in housing design and construction.

Urban Intensities by Peter G. Rowe,Har Ye Kan Pdf

Accomodation of diversity and the creation of urban density are a focus of world-wide building and planning activities today. This book combines the architectural and urban scales to demonstrate that it is a specific quality, urban intensity, which determines the success of housing. The authors provide a typology of housing according to the ways in which diversity and density are created. Comparisons with historical models and critical appraisals based on the authors’ unique standing give ample information on the pros and cons of major types of housing, their pitfalls and successful examples. Newly created sets of drawings, from floor plans to spectacular 3D aerial views of the buildings in their urban contexts, accompany each of the more than twenty case studies that are described and analyzed in detail. The approach taken here relates to many pressing issues in contemporary housing, including the avoidance of urban sprawl, the revival of city centers and the ongoing search for innovative housing types.
