Residential Tuesday 2006.1024

[ArchitectureWeek Editors]

Dear Designers, Builders, and Dwellers,

Residential Tuesday brings you top housing news and analysis 
every week in this free email newsletter from the editors of 
ArchitectureWeek.

This week we lead off with two great stories of housing rebirth,
first for a troubled UK project finally shining, and second for a
pair of creative warehouse conversions in Pittsburgh.

Size matters...but how?  How far and how fast will a cooling housing
market and aging demographics go to reverse the increasing size
trend in U.S. new construction?  Across the pond, will UK
authorities be able to convince developers to forego small
high-profit flats and get them to build more traditional-pattern
terraced housing?

Meanwhile, suburbs struggle with planning from Charlotte County,
Florida, to Melbourne, Australia...
