Architecture, Design & Building Typologies

Housing design is undergoing a quiet revolution. Mass timber and biobased materials are challenging concrete-and-steel orthodoxies; modular and prefabricated approaches are reducing time-to-completion; mixed-use morphologies are blurring the boundary between residential and commercial; and design competitions across Europe are surfacing typologies that respond to mid-life climate, demographic and affordability pressures. Resources here include architectural case studies, building-typology research, design competitions, prefab and modular pilots, and the academic discourse on housing as designed environment.
