TRANSFORMING ISSUES IN HOUSING DESIGN

A practical and complete resource for students, researchers, and practitioners of housing design

Transforming Issues in Housing Design delivers a comprehensive vision for the design, philosophy, psychology, efficiency, and constitution of housing. This collection of articles explores many of the most pressing and relevant issues related to the ongoing transformation of housing design.

Twenty-two contributed chapters discuss the past and current state of housing design, how it evolved to become what it is today, and, finally, how it may unfold in the future. A team of global experts presents the most up-to-date research and a diverse and illuminating collection of examples to highlight housing design around the world.

Readers will also find:

  • A thorough introduction to modern housing design and how it relieves and contributes to various social and economic problems
  • Insightful explorations of the built environment, interior architecture, urban design, sustainable living, space planning, and more
  • Practical discussions of a theoretical framework to make sense of housing design concepts
  • Complete treatments of concepts, research, and built projects from a diverse range of communities and cultures

Perfect for architects and students of urban studies, interior design, and architecture, Transforming Issues in Housing Design will also benefit those who design, research, and teach housing.
