The Adaptable House

The Adaptable House: Designing Homes for Change by Avi Friedman

This book is all about housing architecture and flexibility in design; catering to the varying socio-economic changes of the residents, landscape and community requirements, and advances in building materials and techniques. It's well written, but I'm not sure who the intended audience is here. I can't say I really got anything out of it. He seems to be speaking to architects and designers, but I imagine they would already know everything in the book. The basic language could perhaps help students, but then again, they have textbooks for that.

Not bad. Not great. A 2
