摘要
The range and invention of architects’proposals for more‘sustainable’modes of medium-density urban housing can be seen in entries to a design competition for‘affordable green housing’.The paper examines the attitudes and judgments about design that they represent,and how the winning entry has been modified for construction.An appendix provides a list of features claimed to promote the‘sustainability’of entries.The results present a picture of current thinking on the nature of affordable green housing,and provide a useful comparison for architects approaching their own projects and competition entries.
