Description
Housing
Fit for Purpose sets out a research-focused approach to looking at the challenges facing the built environment in
approaching the design, construction and management of housing. This book uses
original research by the author on housing performance evaluation and distils
it for built environment professionals, arguing that learning from feedback should
be taking place at every stage of the housing project lifecycle, improving
outcomes for end users.
Drawing on active research, this book shows why and how the design, construction and
management of housing can be linked to feedback and actual evidence of how
people choose, and learn, to use their homes. It examines the key concepts which underlie
participatory design, occupancy feedback and learning, and includes a practical primer on how to undertake housing occupancy feedback.
