Two years ago I started the interesting research on collaborative living practices across Europe, together with Emma Jo Griffith and Federico Savini we wrote this paper based on 100 collaborative housing practices. In the paper we argue that collaborative housing is generally defined by what it is not: it is neither solely private tenure nor fully state-run public housing. As a result, housing studies have not fully captured the great diversity of collaborative housing forms. This article develops a complex typology of collaborative housing based on an analysis of 100 cases from Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany. We identify differentiating features across three key dimensions: the architecture of the estate, the institutional set-up of its property rights, and the values motivating the collective inhabiting and managing of the estate. We then apply our typology using the case of the 4Stelle Hotel, a collaborative housing estate in Rome. This study lays the foundations for future international comparative research that moves beyond the reductive understanding of collaborative housing as property sharing.

??? Preserving Dutch Culture and Tackling Housing Needs ??? The rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands, seen in its old, grand buildings and spacious barns, is an irreplaceable part of the landscape. What if these historic structures could be reimagined to meet modern housing needs? By converting large, underutilized buildings into smaller, efficient living spaces, Dutch architecture can be preserved while addressing the pressing issue of affordable housing. This approach can help stabilize rising housing costs, offering a sustainable solution without compromising cultural values. This is exactly the approach I am exploring for my graduation project. I plan to repurpose an old barn (protecting its exterior to honour its heritage) into a multifunctional, community-centred space that celebrates local heritage while serving contemporary needs. What are your thoughts? Could transforming historic buildings and large barns solve housing challenges in communities???

I’m excited to share my latest article where I dive into the differences in accessibility standards between dwelling unit types in multi-family and senior living communities. I’ve worked to simplify the key distinctions and provide clarity for those navigating these important regulations. Check it out through the link below and let me know your thoughts!

Today, I was travelling through Dundee, and as recommended by Claire Enders CBE I visited the V&A Dundee museum, as pictured, the first ever dedicated design museum in Scotland, designed by renowned award-winning Japanese architects Kengo Kuma, it is stunning. Besides the V&A I am also interested in the proposed Eden Project for Dundee, which will be a landmark development for the city, transforming the former gasworks on East Dock Street into a beacon for regeneration and green tourism. It will encourage visitors to think, feel and act differently by revealing how we can learn from and be inspired by nature.? As I consider developing regional Anthropy consultation events in 2026, which will feed delegations and agenda content, potentially holding both at Eden’s Morecambe project and potentially Dundee, when developed, must warrant consideration. Clearly it needs to be something wanted by such towns, but having visited Dundee and seen its vibrancy, I would definitely be interested. As we have recently launched the Ampa - Legal & Professional Services & Anthropy vibrant places report, led by Sarah Walker-Smith, we recognise that investing in the built environment catalyses broader place and community vibrancy by enhancing infrastructure, public spaces, employability and pride of place. Such cultural investment, can foster community engagement, creativity, and economic growth. A well-planned environment inspires pride and participation, making places more dynamic and sustainable for future generations. Dundee and the V&A is illustrative of this, an ability to shape vibrant, inclusive communities together. #UrbanDevelopment #CulturalInvestment #vibrantplaces #Anthropy I highly recommend a visit.

We look forward to kickstarting the Liveable City Conference in Scotland next week! The Liveable City is a celebration of architecture and urban planning where central and local government, businesses, politicians, professionals and the general public take part in talks, seminars, and debates. The two-day event takes place in Stirling on Monday 4 November and Glasgow on Tuesday 5 November featuring four independent seminars addressing the question of how cities can become better places to live, work and play as well whilst increasing the quality of life for everyone: Inclusive Cities – Creating Spaces for Everyone ??? How do we develop cities where everyone sees their priorities recognised in the built and natural environments they call home? Healthy Buildings – Healthy Cities ?? How can we create healthier buildings and urban spaces that incentivise healthier lifestyles? Masterplanning and Urban Mobility ?? How do we move towards more liveable, well-connected and green cities? Next Step for Heat Networks in Scotland ?? How can heat networks help to decarbonise our cities whilst ensuring low energy prices benefit local communities?

Nothing better than seeing your amazingly talented friends driving impact close to home. So exciting to see Chad Brintnall Michael Johnson Bethanie Martin work to Energize Erie's parks! “These types of activities are looking to promote activity in its core, which is great for not only downtown but the city and the larger region. As we look to bring life back into post-industrial cities, it is these types of things that improve people’s quality of life in the place".... https://lnkd.in/e-a4gEpu

Love the #NYSGBC and so glad to delve into the person and behavior aspects of the work ahead! To add some additional enticement (I hope), Jim D'Aloisio and I are presenting on embodied carbon in practice - the 4 materials revealed to be most impactful, the magnitude of impact they have in the industry and on this planet, and some immediate steps to use to reduce the burden in your work.

We know the importance of networking and attend many events each month. Collaboration is a key component of any successful business, whether it’s client and supplier working together to meet a project deadline, staff teamwork within a company or employers and professional bodies working together on a project, we all have experience of how and when it works. And we instinctively know when it works well.
