Applying International and European Anti-Discrimination Law to the Housing Context
This is the first study of anti-discrimination law as it applies to housing law in Europe. It offers an important perspective in a field dominated by employment law studies, while drawing on concepts significant in that field as well. Legislative discussion looks at EU law, the European Convention on Human Rights, the European Social Charter and related case law. The book goes further to examine United Nations human rights instruments and related practice of UN committees. This unique focus allows for a fuller understanding of anti-discrimination law's implications, potential, and challenges.
Cohousing in Barcelona
Barcelona offers a prime example of the co-housing model as an asset prized for its use value as opposed to investment. This book is a compilation of cooperative housing projects in Barcelona, both complete and under construction. It explains how the co-housing process is managed in terms of architecture, urban planning, financing, legality, and taxation, and delves into the experience of living in a community fueled a cooperative spirit. The content of the book presents designs for cooperative housing, accompanied by a critical vision of the model’s implications in terms of the transfer of use or co-living. Finished and inhabited projects are compiled along with ongoing projects, to offer a general view of this way of living in Barcelona. The case studies are explained by members of cooperatives, experts and designers who look at aspects of design, sustainability, construction and urban life. This book is a tool for understanding the design and construction of co-housing and the community life that goes on there.

Hans Scharoun and the Development of Small Apartment Floor Plans
Romeo and Julia, two residential high-rises in Stuttgart, built 1954-59 and designed by Hans Scharoun (1893-1972), constitute the most original and far-reaching of the various attempts to re-design the entire "process of living" that this extraordinary protagonist of Germany's modern architecture undertook. Over decades, Scharoun had woven and extensive network of research and knowledge systems as a basis for his floor-plan designs. His unpublished writings and, even more importantly, his lectures from between 1947 and 1958 reveal the countless threads of research and discourse, which his work in residential architecture referenced and absorbed. They highlight the sometimes contradictory, ye...
Renombrar la arquitectura en su evolución técnica, formal y ética
Con el fin de entender y afrontar los retos actuales de la arquitectura es indispensable revisar su evolución y entenderla desde la óptica contemporánea. Tomando como referencia pensadores como Walter Benjamin, Marina Waisman o Jacques Derrida, en este nuevo libro Josep Maria Montaner se centra en la historia de la arquitectura, desde la Ilustración hasta la actualidad, para ahondar en sus fenómenos y conceptos clave, renombrándolos para que se conviertan en herramientas de futuro. Dividido en tres grandes secciones, la primera de ellas parte de la construcción de la historia de la arquitectura moderna, para poner de manifiesto cómo muchos de los problemas sociales y culturales actua...
The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory
"Offers an intense scholarly experience in its comprehensiveness, its variety of voices and its formal organization... the editors took a risk, experimented and have delivered a much-needed resource that upends the status-quo." - Architectural Histories, journal of the European Architectural History Network "Architectural theory interweaves interdisciplinary understandings with different practices, intentions and ways of knowing. This handbook provides a lucid and comprehensive introduction to this challenging and shifting terrain, and will be of great interest to students, academics and practitioners alike." - Professor Iain Borden, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture "In this collection, a...
Herramientas para habitar el presente
Este libro plantea sistemas de análisis y métodos de proyecto de la vivienda contemporánea. Se basa en datos de la realidad de España extrapolables a otros contextos con las necesarias adaptaciones. Se aborda la vivienda como encrucijada de la complejidad actual en la que convergen, a través de la arquitectura, cuestiones urbanas, sociales, tecnológicas y medioambientales. También se plantean preguntas cruciales sobre los cambios en cada uno de estos ámbitos y se propone un método de valoración integral ya construida.
Del diagrama a las experiencias, hacia una arquitectura de la acción
Nos encontramos en un período de profunda transformación productiva, social y de valores. En arquitectura, más allá del avance de los sistemas de representación arquitectónica y la evolución de los tipos constructivos, cada vez es más manifiesta la necesidad de una renovación profunda de la teoría y la crítica. Este libro plantea una refundación teórico práctica de la arquitectura a partir de la vinculación explícita de tres ejes instrumentales ligados a ella: los diagramas, las experiencias y las acciones. Por medio de la exploración de conceptos, herramientas y casos prácticos emblemáticos, Josep Maria Montaner disecciona, por un lado, el carácter abstracto de las creac...
CIDADE E METRÓPOLE - Coleção Arquitetura e Cidade Vol. 1
Oprojeto “Cidade e Metrópole” foi desenvolvido com base nas linhas de pesquisa do Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu em Arquitetura e Cidade da Universidade Vila Velha que visam a reflexão do processo de projeto na formação multidisciplinar do arquiteto e urbanista e de profissionais de áreas afins, enfatizando uma abordagem ampla e simbiótica entre a Arquitetura e a Cidade. Os estudos propostos pelo programa fomentam a reflexão crítica sobre a formação e a produção do ambiente construído através: dos fenômenos relacionados ao processo e a prática projetual da arquitetura e do urbanismo; o planejamento, a gestão e a avaliação do desempenho do edifício e do território, em suas diversas vertentes (espacial, social ambiental, cultural, político, econômico e comportamental).
Flexible Housing
Flexible housing is housing that can adjust to the changing needs of the user and accommodate new technologies as they emerge. Flexible Housing by Jeremy Till and Tatjana Schneider examines the past, present and future of this important subject through over 160 international examples. Specially commissioned plans, printed to scale, together with over 200 illustrations and diagrams provide fascinating detail and allow direct visual comparisons to be made. Combining history, theory and design the book explains the social and economic benefits that can be achieved and shows the various ways it has been and can be delivered. The book ends with an accessible guide to how flexible housing might be designed and constructed today to achieve adaptable and ultimately sustainable buildings. Housing designers, housing managers and students of architecture, construction and housing will find this book of immense value both as a comprehensive reference and design manual.
