The Challenge of Suburbia (Architectural Design)
Summary
For an increasing number of people living in Western societies, suburbia is the primary living environment. For example, in the US more people live in the suburbs than in cities. As a result, 75% of all new construction in the US is in suburbia when only 5% of this is architect-designed. This new book from Architectural Design presents an opportunity for architects to rake back a large sector of the housing and construction industry. It argues that suburbia offers a far greater potential for innovation than more conventional urban milieus.
