Louis Sauer, Visiting Professor I’m an American-Canadian architect with extensive knowledge in the design of housing, how it’s produced and how it’s lived in. My work in professional practice has won over 50 design awards and been published internationally. In the USA I was the head of the School of Architecture at Carnegie-Mellon University and taught at Yale, MIT, the Universities of Pennsylvania and Colorado and, in Canada, at Montreal’s McGill University.

All these designs have one thing in common
They all required me to make a decision about whether my design would be a good one for the people
who would live in and use my design

If the front facade is the ‘front’ because it faces a public
street -
What should the inside of a house look like ?

Some Developer Housing

The developer hires you tells you what he wants.
He’ll talk about the MARKET for the housing
And specify the number of units and their sizes
![Page 23: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
You’ll ask him about the people,
the future resident, how they live and what they like and dislike.
He’ll tell you they are like such and such.
He’ll talk in generalities.
![Page 24: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How can you make sure that what the developer knows is correct?
![Page 25: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Unknown User
How do you know when your design is the one your users will
want
When you are not certain who you are designing for.
.
![Page 26: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Of knowledge about an unknown user - the future resident - is to talk with someone who knows them.
Talk with a real estate sales person
That’s what I do
An excellent source
![Page 27: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ask them to tell you what your ‘market’ likes and dislikes about house, a unit.
![Page 28: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Find out what they like & dislike
![Page 29: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Go to a new development and visit a display house – or a unit
Look at its architectural characteristics
Outside & Inside
![Page 30: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
You should look at WHAT goes
WHERE, its
SIZE, and its
QUALITIES
![Page 31: Presentation by Prof Louis Sauer](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5571f2ae49795947648ce3dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
You will know more about what will make a successful design
than your developer.
It will give you confidence in making design decisions.

I liked this plan a lot.
But, I wondered if the low income people – my real clients - would like it?

There is a significant symbolic difference in meanings
between the front and the back of houses – of all buildings.
