Product Description
Review
"Lewis (architect, UK) provides straightforward practical advice on the creation of humane and responsible housing from individuals engaged directly in design of such places.. The book consists of two parts: a series of essays on important topics in housing, and analytical case studies . . . The case studies are clearly and consistently organized and illustrated to provide a basis for comparison between housing.The case studies also bear witness to the wisdom of the advice offered in the introductory essays. Taken together, the various parts of this book constitute an excellent, well-balanced primer on contemporary housing design."
