Architecture and the Housing Question examines how the design and
provision of housing around the world have become central both to
competing political projects and to the architecture profession.
How have architects acting as housing experts helped alleviate or
enforce class, race, and gender inequality? What are the
disciplinary implications of taking on shelter for the multitude as
an architectural assignment and responsibility? The book features
essays in the historiography of architecture and the housing
question, and a collection of historical case studies from Belgium,
China, France, Ghana, the Netherlands, Kenya, the Soviet Union,
Turkey, and the United States. The thematic organization of the
collection, interrogating housing expertise, the state apparatus,
segregation and colonialism, highlights the methodological
questions that underpin its international outlook. The book will
appeal to students and scholars in architecture, architectural
history, theory, and urban studies.
