Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.1.3 Reading Material Typology Mix

Course subject(s) Module 3: Typology Mix: Global Housing Design

In the previous video and activity, you have learned more about housing types and typology. At this point you must be already aware of the inter dependence between housing and social and cultural forces. Housing forms and human settlement patterns play a central role in defining the way we live and the way we relate with each other.

To delve deeper into the relation between housing and society, we invite you to go again to Archnet, the database of our partner, the Aga Kahn Trust for Culture and read an article written in 1980 by Riaz Hassan, included in the book of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, 1980.

Hassan, Riaz. Housing and Society: Some Thoughts on the Role of Housing in Social Reproduction. In Housing: Process and Physical Form, edited by Linda Safran. Philadelphia: Aga Khan Award for Architecture, 1980.

If you can’t open the pdf reader below, find this particular reading here.
