Living Places maps a collaborative framework for healthy, sustainable home construction — one that treats scalability and knowledge-sharing as design imperatives rather than afterthoughts, using materials and technologies already within reach.
About This Book
Housing construction sits at the intersection of human health and environmental responsibility, yet the industry has been slow to change. Living Places documents an approach that takes both seriously, assembling the voices of the project's main partners alongside shareable data, process documentation, and a practical methodology designed to move from prototype to sector-wide influence. The result reads less like a manifesto and more like a working manual — one grounded in built evidence and structured for real application. Architects, developers, and policy-adjacent practitioners will find its focus on healthy buildings, collaborative construction, and scalable housing innovation directly relevant to contemporary practice.
