| The Affordable
Australian has evolved from the exploration of
three guiding principles; |
| |
|
| |
Australian-ness |
| |
Environmental Friendly-ness
(siting, building envelope, use of resources etc) |
| |
For All-ness (accessibility,
affordability, flexibility etc) |
| |
|
|
| |
These ideals are underpinned by a theoretical position
of social sustainability fuelled by a belief that it is necessary
to re-orientate Australian housing toward the community; the current
insularity of our suburbs must be reversed. |
