Summary
Everyone deserves a decent and affordable home, a truth (almost) universally acknowledged. But housing in the UK has been in a state of crisis for decades, with too few homes built, too often of dubious quality, and costing too much to buy, rent or inhabit. It doesn't have to be like this. Bringing together a wealth of experience from a wide range of housing experts, this completely revised edition of The Housing Design Handbook provides an authoritative, comprehensive and systematic guide to best practice in what is perhaps the most contentious and complex field of architectural design.This book sets out design principles for all the essential components of successful housing design - including placemaking, typologies and density, internal and external space, privacy, security, tenure, and community engagement - illustrated with case studies of schemes by architecture practices working across the UK and continental Europe.Written by David Levitt and Jo McCafferty - two recognised authorities in the field - and with contributions from more than twenty other leading practitioners, The Housing Design Handbook is an essential reference for professionals and students in architecture and design as well as for government bodies, housing associations and other agencies involved in housing.
