Description: Inter Actions' explores the transformations and uncertainties that shape contemporary living, revealing concerns about how those uncertainties impact both the design of living environments and the architectural education of the future designers of those spaces. The book aims to foster an inquiry into potential responses in the form of policy, design, social innovation, and community initiatives, reflecting on the housing studio as an educational space. While there is a gap between the traditional housing studio and the complex, dynamic world in which architects practice, this book seeks to trace attempts by particular housing studios to develop and embrace a culture of InterActions between the individual student and the team, between different disciplines, between academia, the profession and the community, and between global driving forces and local contexts.
