Winner of the ACSA/AIA Housing Design Education Award! There is an
increased interest among architects, urban specialists and design
professionals to contribute to solve "the housing problem" in
developing countries. The Invisible Houses takes us on a journey
through the slums and informal settlements of South Africa, India,
Colombia, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, Haiti and many other
countries of the Global South, revealing the challenges of, and
opportunities for, improving the fate of millions of poor families.
Stressing the limitations of current approaches to housing
development, Gonzalo Lizarralde examines the short-, mid- and
long-term consequences of housing intervention. The book covers -
among others - the issues of planning, design, infrastructure and
project management. It explains the different variables that need
to be addressed and the causes of common failures and mistakes,
while outlining successful strategies based on embracing a
sustained engagement with the complexity of processes that are
generally invisible.
