The Open Building approach recognizes that both stability and change are realities to be managed in the contemporary built environment. Buildings â and the neighborhoods they occupy â are not static during the most stable times or during times of rapid social and technical change. They are living organisms that need constant adjustments to remain attractive, safe and valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing case studies of built projects from around the world, this book explains the Open Building approach and discusses important characteristics of everyday built environment that the Open Building approach designs for. It also presents a key method that can be used to put the approach into use. It addresses questions such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can we design large projects for inevitable change?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow can we balance the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As early as 1962, John Habraken had discovered that mass housing was based on two incorrect principles: 1) all people want the same thing; and 2) professionals know what is good for them. The reality is that no two people have the same preferences, and their wishes and possibilities are constantly changing. Based on life-time experiences, John and Stephen Kendall discuss in this book the interaction between those people – in their homes, office, schools and healthcare centers – and the built environment and who should decide on it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Bijdendijk, \u003ci\u003eFormer Managing Director of the Housing Association Het Oosten (later Stadgemoot), Amsterdam; Founder and President of the National Renovation Platform; Board of Inspiration, Re-Born – Circular Real Estate\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This book offers a good opportunity for architects to quickly know what’s happening in Open Building practice in different contexts all over the world. The book reflects the impact the Open Building approach can have on the relationship among architects, developers and occupants in the whole life of buildings. This reflection should inspire and encourage architects to rethink and practice in a more empathic and sustainable perspective.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiu Peng, \u003ci\u003eChief Architect, Senior Architect, First Grade, Beijing Institute of Architectural Design\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is an extremely useful book that is both theoretical and practical and both for the developed and the developing world. It opens discourses on wicked questions of top-down vs. bottom-up approaches, architecture as a product vs. process, architects’ control over built form, and straddling the past and the future.
