The Housing Design Handbook: A Guide to Good Practice

摘要

This well-illustrated book, which has been in circulation for a few years, deserves a mention in this journal. Compiled by David Levitt of Levitt Bernstein architects, it is an inspiring library of housing exemplars from key 1980s developments to today's leading and well-known schemes. It includes the work of Levitt Bernstein and a wide range of other UK practices, setting out good housing design principles, case studies predominantly from London, but with notable developments from around the UK and Freiburg in Germany, and a review of successes and failures.
