Book Design for Adaptability in Mass Housing

Download or read book Design for Adaptability in Mass Housing written by Guopeng Li and published by Scientific Research Publishing, Inc. USA. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before discussing the research itself in greater depth, it is beneficial at this stage to introduce the background to the research. To do so, the chapter is divided into four parts. The first part of the chapter summarises terminologies associated with adaptability, and goes on to define and elaborate on the meaning of adaptability in this research study. The second part of this chapter defines mass housing; the development of mass housing and its problems are also illustrated. In the third part, as the key solution for addressing housing occupants’ requirements and accommodating changes, the importance of adaptability in improving overall housing quality, particularly from a social, financial, and environmental point of view, is outlined. The sustainability of adaptability is also discussed. Even though studies of adaptability have been developed structurally, functionally, technically and financially, adaptability still occupies a marginal position due to the production of mass housing. The final part of the chapter rethinks the notion of adaptability for mass housing. Factors of mass housing related to social, financial, technical and design issues and which address adaptability are explored. Lastly, it is revealed that the design aspect of adaptability is chosen as the research focus in this research study.

Book Adaptable Architecture

Download or read book Adaptable Architecture written by Robert Schmidt III and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adaptable Architecture provides thought-provoking and inquisitive insights into how we can prolong the useful life of buildings by designing them to be more adaptable, and hence create a more sustainable built environment. The book provides a theoretical foundation counterpointed by the experiences and ideas of those involved in the design and use of buildings. It explains many approaches to designing for change, with lessons from history, and case studies including The Cedar Rapids Public Library, Kentish Town Health Centre and Folkestone Performing Arts Centre, which stretch our thinking beyond the conventional notions of adaptability. The authors reveal the many conditions that make it a complex design phenomenon, by considering the purpose, design and business case of buildings as well as the physical product. Full of summaries, diagrams, reference charts, tables, and photos of exemplar solutions for use as conversational tools or working aids, this book is for any professional or student who wants to research, question, imagine, illustrate - and ultimately design for - adaptation. In addition, further information and resources are available through the Adaptable Futures website www.adaptablefutures.com which includes additional case studies, videos, information about industry events and up-to-the-minute developments.

  • Author : Avi Friedman
  • Publisher : Laurence King Publishing
  • Release : 2013-10-07
  • ISBN : 1780675275
  • Pages : 256 pages

Download or read book Innovative Houses written by Avi Friedman and published by Laurence King Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing is rapidly having to adapt to the global changes of the twenty first century. These include the transformation of the family and the rise of the non-traditional household, increases in construction costs, and concerns over climate change and the depletion of natural resources. Designing residential environments that address these issues is an urgent priority. This book examines the latest residential design trends that have arisen in response to these challenges. Divided into four broad areas, tightly focused thematic chapters look at twenty discrete topics, such as live/work; adaptable housing; prefabrication; water efficiency; green roofs; and innovative landscaping. Each chapter includes an essay which lays out principles, methods and practices. Using text, drawings and photos from a variety of contemporary international practices, the book demonstrates how these ideas can be applied by architects. It offers a comprehensive collection of strategies and examples that will inspire a much needed housing revolution.
