Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book examines the women whose contributions significantly shaped housing management, policy and design. It highlights how these women leveraged their experiences, opportunities, and, in some cases, social and economic advantage to promote progressive models of housing and community building. Their contributions extended beyond just improving housing. Their work created community, cultivated civic responsibility and demonstrated that housing was, and is, an important component of an equitable society.Organized by housing models, the book places each woman within her historical context and explores how they navigated constraints to contribute to housing reform. This trajectory spans from Catharine Beechers influential writings on domesticity in the 1850s, to Mary Gannon and Alice J. Hands founding their architecture firm in the 1890s, to Lillian Moller Gilbreths scientific management and her development of the kitchen triangle in the 1920s. It continues through Catherine Bauer Wursters central role in drafting the United States Housing Act of 1937, Hillevi Svedbergs collective housing designs in the 1940s, and Renee Gailhoustets visionary planning of Ivry-sur-Seine in the 1960s and 70s, culminating with Catherine Furets public housing work in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many of the women knew or directly influenced one another, yet their perspectives and methodologies often differed, reflecting the diverse ways in which women shaped housing.By illuminating these pioneers achievements, many of whom were underrecognized in their own time, this work offers a reappraisal of womens roles in shaping the housing environment. This book encourages readers to reconsider the history of housing, by looking at it through gender and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This book investigates the development of multi-unit housing typologies that were predominant in a particular city from the 1800s to present day. It emphasises the importance of understanding the direct connection between housing and dwelling in the context of a city, and the manner in which the city is an instructional indication of how a housing typology is embodied. The case studies presented offer an insight into why a certain housing type flourished in a specific city and the variety span across cities in the world where distinct housing types have prevailed. It also pursues how housing types developed, evolved, and helped define the city, looks into how dwellers inhabited their dwellings, and analyses how the housing typologies correlates in a contemporary context. The typologies studied are back-to-backs in Birmingham; tenements in London; Haussmann Apartment in Paris; tenements in New York; tong lau in Hong Kong; perimeter block, linear block, and block-edge in Berlin; perimeter block and solitaire in Amsterdam; space-enclosing structure in Beijing; micro house in Tokyo, and high-rise in Toronto.…
