    “The effect of housing design on cooperative living”

    View recording on our YouTube channel here!

    Over three years, Sam Naylor, architect, educator, and researcher, visited over 100 cooperative housing projects on four continents. His visits included cohousing communities, housing cooperatives, and other informal communal living arrangements, which helped him distill the housing design elements that contribute most to the cooperative spirit and ethos of community living.
