THE URBAN HOUSING HANDBOOK An insightful and revealing look at the
intersection of housing and urban design In the newly revised
Second Edition of The Urban Housing Handbook, Eric Firley and
Victor Deupi deliver a vital design and analysis tool for housing
practitioners, students, and researchers. The book outlines the
characteristics of 30 of the most notable housing types from around
the world, studied against a background of increasing
densification. Each of the 30 chapters includes a fully-explored
tradi tional example followed by one or two contemporary projects
of similar spatial configuration that address changing trends in
architecture and urban design. For this latest edition all
contemporary examples have been updated and are now presented on
two full spreads per chapter. Other features include: A rigorous
analytical method that classifies the types according to four main
categories (courtyard houses, row houses, compounds and apartment
buildings) A thorough introduction to the relationship between an
individual housing unit and the urban fabric that it creates
through repetition A strong focus on dense metropolitan projects
from around the world A set of key figures that translate visual
information into metrics Unique, original drawings of illustrated
housing accompanied by aerial and street-level context photos
Conceived for architects and urban designers, The Urban Housing
Handbook is also an ideal resource for urban planners, housing
developers, builders, and housing trust professionals.
