Housing standardisations: who designs our homes and how do we live? Practice News
Alex Ely will be joining a roundtable debate as part of the exhibition 'Housing Standardisation: Who Designs Our Homes and How Do We Live?' at the Building Centre. The exhibition explores recently built housing in England, Chile, China, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Spain, analysing their diverse housing systems and provisions through 37 in-depth case studies of affordable homes. It focuses on the experiences and everyday lives of residents, examining how design governance, housing standards, socio-cultural expectation, and home use shape perceptions of ‘well-designed’ and ‘affordable’ homes – and how these are highly contextual.
