Democratic Architecture offers viable & affordable solutions to our country s ongoing housing problems. The book deals with tough urban problems and raises questions not just about housing policy, but about larger political and ethical issues as well. It provides a critique of the various approaches to post-war housing and then puts forth a number of innovative solutions to the problem. Many of the proposals are practical designs for low- and lower-middle-income housing, with an emphasis on increasing opportunities for home ownership. They include a variety of detached homes, multiunit buildings, and some alternative types of housing for people whose lifestyles diverge from the mainstream. With more than 200 black & white and color illustrations, Democratic Architecture is a book that clearly lays out solutions to housing crises that we see occurring all too often in the United States and all over the world."
