An architect, landscape and urban designer, and development and code consultant, Dolan designed the first purpose-built live-work complex constructed in the United States. He was instrumental in the development of the live-work building code for the city of Oakland. Dolan is active in the Congress for the New Urbanism and is the founder of the pioneering website www.live-work.com, which has been a resource for practitioners and users of live-work since 1998.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA comprehensive guide to building integrated living and work spaces\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The live-work unit is the natural habitat of mankind. Dwellings—from palace to hovel—have always included places of work. It is only in this past century of suburban madness that the connection has been lost.

Live-work refers to buildings and mixed-use neighborhoods that concentrate all of life's functions in one place. Advances in computer and networking technologies allow more people to work from home, leading to a renewed interest in this hybrid land-use and building type.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLive-Work Planning and Design walks readers through the entire process of getting live-work projects designed, approved, and built. The author draws on more than twenty-five years of experience in the field, examining in detail a wide range of project types, including courtyard communities, flexhouses, housing over retail, artists' studios, lofts, condominiums, and more. Numerous case studies and real-world examples highlight both successful and failed projects, with an emphasis on integrating buildings into the neighborhood to help projects succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplete with hundreds of photos and illustrations of live-work and zero-commute housing types, this book discusses the market for live-work, provides guidance for both new construction and renovation, and describes how various municipalities have incorporated live-work into city plans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArchitects, urban planners, developers, and builders of live-work projects will find this book an insightful and highly practical resource. It is also valuable for zoning officials and urban planners working on planning and building codes and urban designs that incorporate live-work projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989537374437,"sku":"NP9780470604809","price":98.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470604809.jpg?v=1761784508","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/live-work-planning-and-design-isbn-9780470604809","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
