This text is an essay on the relationship between ways of thinking, the rich seams of contemporary thought and the forms of the house, of planning and living in it. The descriptive method is based on seven guided visits to a group of real or imaginary houses that make up a sufficiently extended panorama for understanding what the 20th century has bequeathed to us in the way of a heritage. In order to choose the houses to visit it was necessary to narrow things down, simplify them, by highlighting a series of archetypes defined by their most pronounced features. The reader, then, won't find any of the masterworks built by modern architects -neither the Villa Savoye, nor Fallingwater, nor the Villa Tugendhat-but mostly imaginary houses, houses constructed by manipulating different references. In short, this book invites the reader on a fantasy tour, one whose aim is not just to celebrate the diversity of the 20th-century house but also to stimulate the pleasure of thinking, planning and living intensely, to promote the appearance of a house that does not yet exist.

‘I was born on 25th May, 1938, in the front bedroom of a house in Orton Road, a house on the outer edges of Raffles, a council estate. I was a lucky girl.’ So begins Margaret Forster’s journey through the houses she’s lived in, from that sparkling new council house, to her beloved London home of today. This is not a book about bricks and mortar though. This is a book about what houses are to us, the effect they have on the way we live our lives and the changing nature of our homes: from blacking grates and outside privies; to cities dominated by bedsits and lodgings; to the houses of today converted back into single dwellings. Finally, it is a gently insistent, personal inquiry into the meaning of home.

""Seaside Living"" delves into the captivating world of coastal habitation, exploring the allure and challenges of life by the sea. This comprehensive guide offers a global perspective on seaside residences, from bustling beach towns to remote island paradises.

Divided into three main sections, the book first introduces readers to diverse coastal destinations worldwide. It then examines practical considerations such as housing markets and environmental factors, before exploring broader implications like community development and climate change adaptation. What sets this book apart is its balance of aspirational and practical content, providing a realistic view of seaside living across various socio-economic levels and geographic regions. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including demographic data and interviews with coastal residents, ""Seaside Living"" offers valuable insights for potential coastal dwellers, travel enthusiasts, and urban planners alike. The book's global perspective and accessible writing style make it an engaging read for anyone interested in the dynamic relationship between human communities and coastal environments.
