Housing in the 20th And 21st Centuries
W. Forster

Examines the world's most significant, large-scale housing complexes, which point the way to the future of housing design. The seventy residential complexes featured in this volume are widely considered architectural milestones, embodying forward-thinking attitudes towards urban planning. This book chronicles the evolution of these structures, revealing how each one best represented its era's goals and ideals. It also looks at this century's most progressive developments including Beijing's Looped Hybrid, a city within a city; India's Aranya township, which provides housing for impoverished residents; the environmentally friendly Solaire Apartments in Manhattan; Maxwell Fry's Kensal House, Hubert Bennett's Roehampton and Norman Foster's Albion Riverside Development in London, among others. As today's cities face myriad global challenges, this book provides ample food for thought for anyone concerned with socially responsible architecture.
