High rise living

An ideal home offers community and privacy within a few square feet, and it should also ensure scope for evolution and change. But most flats and houses in our market offer neither. They are market products, aimed at a fuzzy prototype of the “middle class”, in the classic media image of the family for just about any product - the smiling young couple with two small children. In this issue we have collected 25 works that present a variety of solutions and sizes, along with other articles that help set housing back on course as an area for creative investigation, on a par with the social changes around it, rejecting the threat to MacDonaldize our life as social beings.
