Download or read book Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities written by Sten Gromark and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architecture for Residential Care and Ageing Communities confronts urgent architectural design challenges within residential innovation, ageing communities and healthcare environments. The increasing and diversified demands on the housing market today call for alterability and adaptability in long term solutions for new integrated ways of residing. Meanwhile, an accentuated ageing society requires new residential ways of living, combining dignity, independence and appropriate care. Concurrently, profound changes in technical conditions for home healthcare require rethinking healing environments. This edited collection explores the dynamics between these integrated architectural and caring developments and intends to envision reconfigured environmental design patterns that can significantly enhance new forms of welfare and ultimately, an improved quality of life. This book identifies, presents, and articulates new qualities in designs, in caring processes, and healing atmospheres, thereby providing operational knowledge developed in close collaboration with academics, actors and stakeholders in architecture, design, and healthcare. This is an ideal read for those interested in health promotive situations of dwelling, ageing and caring.

Download or read book Building for People written by Michael Eliason and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2024-12-12 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Building for People, architect and ecodistrict planner Michael Eliason makes the case for low-carbon ecodistricts and presents practical tools for developing these residential and mixed-use communities. As cities turn brownfields into green fields and look to maximize public investment in transit and infrastructure, ecodistricts are the answer. Eliason shows that this type of affordable, climate-adaptive living option is possible anywhere. Full-color photos and illustrations show what is possible in ecodistricts through examples around the world. Looking at small districts like Steingau in Kirchheim unter Teck, to massive urban redevelopment like Vienna's Sonnwendviertel and Seestadt-Aspern as models, Eliason argues that building regulations and planning processes in the US must change to make these livable neighborhoods possible. Building for People shows professionals involved in regulating, planning, or designing our communities that high-quality, low-carbon living is within reach.
Download or read book A History of Collective Living written by Susanne Schmid and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells the story of communal living from about 1850 until today. Three motives of sharing - the economic, political and social intention - divide the residential objects, which are investigated in a historical analysis and allocated to nine development phases. The author investigates and compares different forms of housing and the way they developed from their origins until today; she illustrates how everyday shared living and the degrees of privacy in housing are practiced in Europe. Owing to its comprehensive documentation, the analysis of typologies, layout plans, and user and expert interviews, the book can also be considered to be a lexicon or handbook on communal living. A detailed overview that is unique in this form.

Download or read book Critical Mapping for Municipalist Mobilization written by Aruri, Natasha and published by Berlin Universities Publishing. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CMMM is a project that accompanied and was oriented by the priorities of municipalist activists in Belgrade, Berlin, and Barcelona. Spanning over 3.5 years from 2019 to 2023, it captured and supported the efforts of the Ministry of Space collective, AKS Gemeinwohl, Häuser Bewegen GIMA eG., Kollektiv Raumstation, and Observatori DESC to change the political paradigms shaping the contemporary housing emergency in the three cities. Coordinated by K LAB (TU Berlin) and supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the CMMM team employed various formats of critical mapping to display the legislations, policies, events, hierarchies, as well as the main actors and factors that are shaping the housing crisis. Next to selected examples of how critical mapping has been applied by peers and artists in the three cities, this book scripts the process through which our team created three interactive maps “How (un)affordable is housing in Belgrade?”, “Who buys Berlin?”, and “Stop Evictions!” for Barcelona, which can be explored on the project’s website: cmmm.eu. CMMM‘s outputs intend to support existing and future municipalist activists and collectives pushing to create policy alternatives that integrate the “housing as a right” principle. We hope that our work inspires activists and engaged professionals to employ critical mapping in their endeavors to inform and nudge public opinion, towards advancing demands for justice in the urban and beyond. CMMM ist ein Projekt, das die Prioritäten von städtischen bzw. nachbarschaftlichen Aktivisten in Belgrad, Berlin und Barcelona begleitet und sich an ihnen orientiert. Es erstreckte sich über dreieinhalb Jahre von 2019 bis 2023 und erfasste und unterstützte die Bemühungen von Ministry of Space collective, AKS Gemeinwohl, Häuser Bewegen GIMA eG, Kollektiv Raumstation und Observatori DESC, die politischen Paradigmen, die den Wohnungsnotstand in den drei Städten prägen, durch verschiedene Formate der kritischen Kartierung zu verändern. Unter der Koordination des LABOR K (TU Berlin) und mit Hilfe eines Stipendiums der Robert Bosch Stiftung haben wir Gesetze, Politiken, Ereignisse, Hierarchien und einige der wichtigsten Akteure und Faktoren, die die Wohnsituation prägen, kartiert. Darüber hinaus enthält dieses Buch ausgewählte Beispiele dafür, wie kritisches Mapping in den drei Städten angewandt wurde, und es beschreibt, wie unser Team die drei interaktiven Karten "How (un)affordable is housing in Belgrade?", "Who buys Berlin?" und "Stop Evictions!" für Barcelona erstellt hat, die auf der Projektwebsite cmmm.eu eingesehen werden können. Durch die verschiedenen CMMM-Materialien in diesem Buch und auf der Projektwebsite stellen wir Informationen zur Verfügung, um heutige und künftige Bewegungen und Kollektive die darauf drängen, politische Alternativen zu schaffen, und die das Prinzip “Recht auf Wohnen" in politische Programme zu integrieren versuchen, zu unterstützen. Zudem hoffen wir, Aktivist*innen, engagierte Fachleute, Wissenschaftler*innen und andere dazu zu inspirieren mit Hilfe von kritischem Mapping die öffentliche Meinung und die allgemeine Wahrnehmung zu beeinflussen, und den Diskurs zu beflügeln um Forderungen nach Gerechtigkeit in der Stadt und darüber hinaus voranzutreiben.

Download or read book A life cycle approach to buildings written by Niklaus Kohler and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A building's entire life cycle aooOCU1/4oOe1/4o from construction through occupation, cycles of renovation and repairs, up to demolition and disposal, impacts the flow of materials thereby created. The decisive path of a building's environmental impact is however usually set early in the planning phase, at a time when planners often still lack knowledge about the sustainability characteristics of different building materials and constructions."
Download or read book Affordable Housing Governance and Finance written by Gerard Van Bortel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a large shortage of affordable housing across Europe. In high‐demand urban areas housing shortages lead to unaffordable prices for many target groups. This book explores innovations to support a sufficient supply of affordable and sustainable rental housing. Affordable housing is increasingly developed, financed and managed by a mix of market, state, third sector and community actors. Recent decades in large parts of the Western world have consecutively shown state-dominated, non-profit housing sectors, an increased role for market forces and the private sector, and the rise of initiatives by citizens and local communities. The variety of hybrid governance and finance arrangements is predicted to increase further, leading to new affordable housing delivery and management models. This book explores these innovations, with a focus on developments across Europe, and comparative chapters from the USA and Australia. The book presents new thinking in collaborative housing, co-production and accompanying finance mechanisms in order to support the quantity and the quality of affordable rental housing. Combining academic robustness with practical relevance, chapters are written by renowned housing researchers in collaboration with practitioners from the housing sector. The book not only presents, compares and contrasts affordable housing solutions, but also explores the transferability of innovations to other countries. The book is essential reading for researchers and professionals in housing, social policy, urban planning and finance.
Download or read book Bauen F r Die Gemeinschaft in Wien Building for the Community in Vienna written by Isabella Marbo and published by Detail Special. This book was released on 2021-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die vorgestellten Wohnprojekte in Wien entstanden aus dem Wunsch, Lebenskonzepte zu entwickeln, die den Gemeinschaftssinn stärken und zu einer solidarischen Gesellschaft beitragen - Baugruppen und partizipative Projekte, Quartiershäuer, temporäre oder permanente soziale Wohn- und Arbeitsformen für Randgruppen wie Obdachlose und Asylberechtigte. Privatwohnungen können verkleinert werden, wenn es mehr gemeinsam genutzte Flächen gibt. Das reduziert den Bedarf an Grund und Boden und gibt dem Gemeinschaftsleben Spiel- und Möglichkeitsräume. Die Kürzel der Baugruppe B.R.O.T. tragen ihr Programm im Namen: Begegnen, Reden, Offen sein, Teilen. Bei diesen Wohn- und Lebensmodellen geht es um Alternativen zum kapitalistischen Investorendenken. Die Nutzer bringen sich ein, auch bei der Projektplanung. Ulrike Schartner und Alexander Hagner von gaupenraup+/- erläutern in einem einführenden Interview Ausgangslage und Strategien ihrer Arbeit. Robert Temel und Isabella Marboe zeigen in zwei Essays die Entwicklung gemeinschaftlicher Bau- und Wohnformen anhand wichtiger Vorläufer und Tendenzen auf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Works of art were created in the England of the 50s and 60s which are of extraordniary topicality today. This applies particularly to the Independent Group which included artists, photographers as well as architects. Its members strove to achieve an authenticity close to the grass roots of life, to discover the essence of the everyday, to arouse a sensitivity to life in the raw as against a touched-up version of reality, to bring out both its hardships and its charm. The book is about architecture and art and photography. It seeks rather to show the unmediated impact and direct appeal of a refractory aesthetics.
