The Challenge of Suburbia Upplaga 1
For an increasing number of people living in Western societies, suburbia is the primary living environment. For example, in the US more people live in the suburbs than in cities. As a result, 75% of all new construction in the US is in suburbia when only 5% of this is architect--designed. This new book from Architectural Design presents an opportunity for architects to rake back a large sector of the housing and construction industry. It argues that suburbia offers a far greater potential for innovation than more conventional urban milieus. * The first book to bring together projects in suburbia by experimental and progressive architects * A primer for best practice for architects working on urban extensions and suburban projects * It will encourage architects to re--introduce themselves to the field of action * Will feature groundbreaking projects by Zaha Hadid, MVRDV, Dominique Perrault, Eyal Weizman, Lacaton & Vassal, R&Sie (Francois Roche), Sadar & Vuga and Wes Jones, and contributions by such as Bart Lootsma, Penelope Dean, Lars Lerup and Leon van Schaik
