Summary:	"First published in 1999, the RIBA Book of British Housing arose from Ian Colquhoun's membership of the RIBA Housing Group. It responded to an enormous interest in British housing design amongst architects, planners, housing professionals, students and others in the UK and internationally. It has served as both a guide to the most significant schemes built since 1900 and a resource for practitioners in housing development." "This new edition includes schemes built since the turn of this century, both new housing and regeneration. These illustrate the wealth of design talent that exists in the UK. There is a new determination amongst so many people involved in housing development to strive for better design as an essential part of creating affordable and sustainable homes in a high quality living environment. The book provides an historic overview and describes and illustrates projects with key plans, drawings and 300 photographs."--BOOK JACKET.
