    Self-Build Homes connects the burgeoning interdisciplinary research on self-build with commentary from leading international figures in the self-build and wider housing sector. Through their focus on community, dwelling, home and identity, the chapters explore the various meanings of self-build housing, encouraging new directions for discussions about self-building and calling for the recognition of the social dimensions of this process, from consideration of the structures, policies and practices that shape it, through to the lived experience of individuals and households. Divided into four parts – Discourse, Rationale, Meaning; Values, Lifestyles, Imaginaries; Community and Identity; and Perspectives from Practice – the volume comes at a time of renewed focus from policy managers and practitioners, as well as prospective builders themselves, on self-build as a means for producing homes that are more stylised, affordable and appropriate for the specific needs of households. It responds to recent advances in housing and planning policy, while also bringing this into conversation with interdisciplinary perspectives from across the social sciences on housing, home and homemaking. In this way, the book seeks to update understandings of self-build and to account for housing as a distinctly social process.

    Expanding Fields of Architectural Discourse and Practice presents a selection of essays, architectural experiments and works that explore the diversity within the fields of contemporary architectural practice and discourse. Specific in this selection is the question of how and why architecture can and should manifest in a critical and reflective capacity, as well as to examine how the discipline currently resonates with contemporary art practice. It does so by reflecting on the first 10 years of the architectural journal, P.E.A.R. (2009 to 2019). The volume argues that the initial aims of the journal – to explore and celebrate the myriad forms through which architecture can exist – are now more relevant than ever to contemporary architectural discourse and practice. Included in the volume are architectural practitioners, design researchers, artists, architectural theorists, historians, journalists, curators and a paleobiologist, all of whom contributed to the first seven issues of the journal. Here, they provide a unique presentation of architectural discourse and practice that seeks to test new ground while forming distinct relationships to recent, and more longstanding, historical legacies.

    Housing matters, no matter when or where. This volume of collected essays on housing in colonial and postcolonial Africa seeks to elaborate how and why housing is much more than an everyday practice. The politics of housing unfold in disparate dimensions of time, space and agency. Depending on context, they acquire diverse, often ambivalent, meanings. Housing can be a promise, an unfulfilled dream, a tool of self- and class-assertion, a negotiation process, or a means to achieve other ends. This volume analyzes housing in its multifacetedness, be it a lens to offer insights into complex processes that shape societies; be it a tool of empire to exercise control over private relations of inhabitants; or be it a means to create good, obedient and productive citizens. Contributions to this volume range from the field of history, to architecture and urban planning, African studies, linguistics, and literature. The individual case studies home in on specific aspects and dimensions of housing and seek to bring them into dialogue with each other. By doing so, the volume aims to add to the debate on studying urban practices and their significance for current social change.

    Dieser Thünen Report untersucht Wohnstandortentscheidungen als im Lebensverlauf regelmäßig stattfindende Abwägungs- und Aushandlungsprozesse von Haushalten in Bezug auf einen subjektiv angemessenen Wohnstandort. Neben Wohnmobilität (d. h. Gemeindegrenzen überschreitende Wanderungen oder innerörtliche Umzüge) wird das Bleiben an einem Wohnort als gleichwertige Handlungsoption thematisiert. Auch multilokales Wohnen und Rückwanderung an einen früheren Wohnort finden als weitere mögliche Optionen Berücksichtigung. Die Studie basiert auf einer Auswertung von 30 leitfadengestützten Interviews mit narrativen Elementen. Diese wurden 2019 und 2020 jeweils zur Hälfte in ländlichen Gemeinden und in Großstädten durchgeführt. Dabei wird eine wohnbiographische Perspektive verfolgt, denn Wohnstandortentscheidungen sind keine singulären Ereignisse. Vielmehr handelt es sich um wiederkehrende und zugleich veränderbare Entscheidungen, die im Kontext biographischer Erfahrungen, subjektiver Deutungen und Bewertungen, ökonomischer und kultureller Ressourcen, normativer Überzeugungen sowie sozialer Einbettungen getroffen werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund und auf der Basis eingangs identifizierter Forschungslücken adressiert der folgende Bericht vier Forschungsfragen: 1. Wie verändern sich Wohnansprüche im Lebensverlauf? 2. Welche Rolle spielen weitere Faktoren neben Lebenslaufereignissen bzw. Statuspassagen für Wohnstandortentscheidungen? 3. Wie laufen wanderungs- und bleibebezogene Abwägungs- und Aushandlungsprozesse in Haushalten ab? 4. Welche Bedeutung kommt den subjektiv gedeuteten Raumkategorien „Stadt“ und „Land“ in Wohnbiographien und Wohnstandortentscheidungen zu? Im Ergebnis der Studie ist festzuhalten, dass alterschronologische Lebensereignisse (biographische Statuspassagen, wie der Auszug aus dem Elternhaus, die Familiengründung oder -erweiterung und der Renteneintritt) von anhaltend großer Bedeutung für wohnstandortbezogene Abwägungs- und Aushandlungsprozesse sind. Sie bilden einen überindividuellen Rahmen, die Ausgestaltung einer Wohnbiographie ist jedoch stets einzigartig, denn weitere nicht-planbare Ereignisse und Anlässe verändern die Wohnansprüche und den Wohnbedarf. Wohnen und Wohnstandortentscheidungen werden stark von normativen Überzeugungen (normative beliefs) geprägt. Besonders wirkmächtig sind die Idee einer Wohnkarriere im Lebensverlauf, d. h. der stetigen Verbesserung der Wohnsituation, sowie das Ziel der Wohneigentumsbildung. Den Raumkategorien „Stadt“ (meist verstanden als Großstadt) und „Land“ (ländliche Gemeinden) werden unterschiedliche Standortofferten und -qualitäten zugeschrieben. In methodischer Hinsicht plädiert die Studie für eine Kombination von biographischen und geographischen Zugängen sowie für Interviews mit mehreren Mitgliedern eines Haushalts, um der Komplexität von Wohnstandortentscheidungen gerecht zu werden. This Thünen Report investigates households’ residential location decisions as recurrent negotiation processes over the life course regarding a subjectively appropriate residential location. Besides residential mobility (migration across municipal boundaries or relocation within a municipality), staying in one place of residence is considered as an equally important option of decision-making. As further options, multi-local living and return migration are taken into account. The study is based on an analysis of 30 semi-structured interviews, half of which were conducted in rural communities and smaller towns and half in large cities in 2019 and 2020. Our research perspective focuses on how residential location decisions are embedded in residential biographies. Decisions on where to live are not seen as singular events. Rather, they are recurring over the life course. At the same time, they are adaptable decisions made in the context of biographical experiences, subjective interpretations, occupational and cultural resources and social embeddedness. Against this backdrop and based on the identified research gaps, the following report addresses four research questions: 1. How do housing demands change over the life course? 2. What role do factors besides life course events or status transitions play in residential location decisions? 3. How do decision-making processes related to staying or leaving take place in households? 4. What is the meaning of the subjectively perceived spatial categories ‘city/urban’ and ‘country/rural’ in housing biographies and residential location decisions? Concluding, we found that chronological life events (biographical status transitions such as leaving the parental home, starting or extending a family and transition into retirement) are of lasting importance for residential location decisions. They build a supra-individual framework, but each residential biography is unique, because further unexpectable events and occasions change housing needs. Housing and residential location decisions are strongly influenced by normative beliefs. The idea of a housing career in the life course, i.e. the constant improvement of the housing situation, as well as the goal of home ownership are particularly powerful. In subjective perceptions, the spatial categories ‘city/urban’ and ‘country/rural’ are related to specific locational utilities and qualities. From a methodological point of view, we argue for a combination of biographical and geographical approaches as well as for interviews with more than one member of one household in order to better reflect the complexity of residential location decisions.
