This clear and concise guide is the ideal introduction to
contemporary housing design for students and professionals of
architecture, urban design and planning. With the increasing
commitment to sustainable design and with an ever-increasing demand
for houses in urban areas, housing design has taken on a new and
crucial role in urban planning. This guide introduces the reader to
the key aspects of housing design, and outlines the discussion
about form and planning of urban housing. Using chapter summaries
and with many illustrations, it presents contemporary concerns such
as energy efficient design and high density development in a clear
and accessible way. It looks at practical design solutions to real
urban problems and includes advice on reclamation and re-use of
buildings. The guidance it presents is universally relevant. Part
two of the book features current case studies that illustrate the
best in high density, sustainable housing design providing the
reader with design information, and design inspiration, for their
own projects.
