Description
This book is the first comprehensive study of flexible housing, how it has evolved and how the concept can be taken forward. It contains 80 fully illustrated case studies and a design manual for how to achieve genuinely flexible housing. Case studies range from the sliding screens of a traditional Japanese house and the indeterminate design of late 19th century Grunderzeit tenements, through Mies van der Rohe's apartment blocks and the participative approaches of Walter Segal and Ottokar Uhl, to contemporary developments of technicised solutions and the re-discovery of indeterminate layout.
Each case study is illustrated with drawings and photographs that allow cross comparison with other approaches to flexibility in housing. The authors take the lessons from the case studies to propose a set of design principles that emphasise the importance of flexibility and adaptability in 'future-proofing' housing design for rapidly evolving demographic and technological change. Written by some of the UK's most innovative and radical designers, Flexible Housing is a manifesto for the future of domestic architecture.
