‘Social Housing – Definitions & Design Exemplars (Second Edition) – our new book is OUT NOW!
Showcasing a new generation of social housing projects from around the UK and Europe, this new volume offers insight into the latest work from architects at the forefront of public housing and dwelling design.
Bringing together 25 exemplar case studies, the book explores alternative routes to designing and delivering affordable housing through the lens of urban mending, resilient typologies, building re-use, retrofit and material innovation.
The book takes a holistic approach to dwelling design and offers a practical guide and inspiration for housing practitioners, students and pioneers to learn, adapt and propose solutions for the future.
