Description
For an increasing number of people living in Western societies, suburbia is the primary living environment. In the US, for instance, more people live in suburbia than in cities. Yet, it is the city that architects have been trained to regard as their main territory of intervention. The architectural media have done their share in propelling the presumption that construction in suburbia could only be of mediocre quality.
This issue challenges that presumption. It also presents an opportunity for architects to rake back an important sector of the housing industry, as 75% of all new construction in the United States of America is in suburbia, but less than 5% remains architect designed.
Contents includes features projects by Zara Hadid, Eyal Weizman, Lacaton & Vassa, Sada & Vuga and Wes Jones.
