A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

John Turner's classic essay makes a unique contribution to housing theory and practise. His Three Laws of Housing summarize the psychological, social and economic basis of his thesis: 1: When people have no control over, nor responsibility for, key decisions in the housing process, dwelling environments may become a barrier to personal fulfilment and a burden on the economy. 2. The important thing about housing is not what it is but what it does in people's lives. 3. Deficiencies and imperfections in your housing are infinitely more tolerable if they are your responsibility than if they are somebody else's. John Turner was born in 1927 in London. He took a Degree at the Architectural Association in London and then lived in Peru from 1957 until 1965, working for Peruvian government housing agencies, contributing to their programmes for community action and self-help housing in villages and urban squatter settlements. From 1965 to 1973 he lived in Massachusettes, USA and was an associate with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). He returned to London in 1973 and worked at the AA in the Developmental Planning Unit. He now lives in Hastings, East Sussex.

We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
