a+t 56

Issue 56 of a+t introduces a new run of features titled Housing Design Strategies. The series sorts architectural projects by the specific design approach each one embodies, grouping them into four categories: indeterminacy, exteriority, privacy and interactivity. Tying the whole series together is the idea of generosity, which the editors regard as a fundamental trait in the design of shared residential buildings. In their account, generosity changes the character of a built volume and makes it inhabitable, producing comfort, wellbeing and more.

This opening installment concentrates on indeterminacy in the floor plan. Its pages present work by Fala Atelier, Esch Sintzel, FAR frohn&rojas, Lacol & La Boqueria, Peris+Toral and several other practices.
