Housing
Prototypes
|
|
HousingPrototypes.org,
developed by Professor Roger Sherwood, was conceived to fill the need for
a dynamic, interactive database about housing. It provides the research
instrument to monitor research about historic and new developments in the
field of international multi-family housing. As a Research Scholar, I assisted
Professor Sherwood in documenting and uploading housing prototypes to the
website. The current scope of research provides an international selection
of both new and old housing projects of the past century. As the site evolved
and grew, we expect to add other features and on-line resources -- Links
to other housing sites, research resources and references, new case studies,
photo archives, architect files, country and city historic period files,
building and apartment typology studies, housing construction technology
-- and a Housing Store, are all planned features. Attached are two brief
case study examples found on the website that reflect some of the most recent
development on new techniques for innovative, affordable and sustainable
housing.
