Based on ethnographic accounts from different regions, \u003cem\u003eHouses Transformed\u003c\/em\u003e investigates the changing practices of building houses in a transnational context. It explores the intersection of house biographies and social change, the politics of housing design, the social fabrication of aspirational houses, the domestication of concrete and the intersection of materiality and ontology as well as the rhetoric of the vernacular. The volume provides new anthropological pathways to understanding the dynamics of dwelling in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“An interesting and worthwhile collection, covering a wide range of different themes relating to change and transformation related to the house.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Monica Janowski\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of London\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“\u003c\/em\u003eHouses Transformed \u003cem\u003eis a timely and comprehensive volume which closely considers how different communities around the globe have similar or different responses to the pressures of contemporary lifestyles.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Debbie Whelan\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Lincoln\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Houses Transformed – Transforming Houses\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRosalie Stolz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eAnthropology and the Study of Architecture at a Time of Rapid Change\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMarcel Vellinga\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eLives of the House: Tracing Kinship through the Biography of Houses in Norway\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSimone Abram and Marianne Lien\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe ‘New London Vernacular’: Architecture and the Politics of Community-Building in London’s Olympic Park\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eSaffron Woodcraft\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Changing Temporalities and Ecologies of House Production in an Age of Trans-localization: Instances in Kerala and West Bengal, India\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eElisa T.
