If you're looking for ways to give back to your community, then this book, the first to profile thirteen projects designed and built by architects and Habitat for Humanity, will help. Detailed plans, sections, and photographs show you how these projects came about, the strategies used by each team to approach the design and construction process, and the obstacles they overcame to realize a successful outcome. The lessons and insights, presented here will aid you, whether you're an architect, architecture student, Habitat affiliate leader, or an affordable housing advocate.

Located all across the United States, these projects represent the full spectrum of Habitat for Humanity affiliates, from large urban affiliates to small rural programs. These cases illustrate a broad range of innovative approaches to energy performance, alternative construction strategies, and responses to site context. And each house demonstrates that design quality need not fall victim to the rigorous imperatives of cost, delivery, and financing.

CHOICE Review

Ten years after the appearance of the first edition of Designed for Habitat (2012), Hinson and Miller (both, School of Architecture, Auburn Univ.) return with a new edition describing how leaders of Habitat for Humanity, homeowners, and designers work collaboratively toward the creation of affordable, single-family houses. The book considers a variety of issues, including home affordability, energy use, construction technology, building design and context, natural disasters, and climate change. Including 12 case studies of houses across the US and in Puerto Rico, the book includes a summary of data, a project interview, and descriptions of design and construction processes, along with site and floor plans and six to eight color photographs of each of the 12 houses. This is a noteworthy book. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers. --Jack Quinan, emeritus, independent scholar
