When designing any kind of dwelling, architects draw
on both their imagination and expertise as well as their
own experiences as inhabitants of such structures.
In this book, eight architects explore how the places
we inhabit are designed and how those places in
turn inform the manner in which we live. Focusing
on aspects of their own built work, Stephen Hoey,
Henry McKeown and an Alexander, James Mitchell,
Stacey Philips, Christopher Platt, Adrian Stewart and
Miranda Webster explain how and why they design
the way they do. Dick van Gameren, Simon Henley
and Graeme Hutton - distinguished experts and them-
selves architect-educators -place the featured work
within an international context and provide insightful
commentary about contemporary design approaches
for residential architecture.
Architects on Dwelling reminds us how profoundly
the place we live in matters to our well-being, and
highlights the social responsibility architects have in
creating such places of dwelling and shelter.
