"This tour de force explains and illustrates the plurality of lived space in our multicultural world. Ashraf Salama argues convincingly that lived space is multilayered at the intersection of material characteristics of built environments, the authority and power of those who decide what is constructed, and human agency of laypeople who use and appropriate their habitat. Founded on a rich career of teaching, research and practice, Ashraf invites a wide range of readers to bridge the applicability gap between what we know and what we build to better accommodate the diversity of lived space. The next step is yours."Roderick J. Lawrence, Honorary Professor, University of Geneva, Switzerland."Ashraf Salama, an alert critical thinker and generous educator, masterfully establishes theoretical and practical landscape of lived spatiality, observed from a user-centred perspective and analysed to narrow gaps between concepts, professional design tools and teaching practices. Rooted in the insightful experience, rigorous research and revealing case studies across the globe, the book elegantly unfolds timely pathways to reclaim the fullness of professional responsibility of practitioners. Advancing co-creation and the concept of “second completion,” this is an essential read for policymakers, public procurement bodies, architects and urban designers, research scholars and educators."Selma Harrington, PhD, Director - New European Bauhaus (BiH), Fellow RIAI, Hon AIA."Ashraf Salama makes a compelling case for judging architecture through the lives it supports. His concept of a ‘second completion’ recognises inhabitants as continuing authors of buildings and cities, whose knowledge should inform design. The strength of Lived Space lies in connecting this argument to practical methods for listening, observing and learning from occupied environments. For architectural educators, it offers a valuable basis for teaching design as a responsibility that extends beyond handover. An important book that deserves to be read, discussed and put to work in both the studio and the profession."David Reat, PhD, Architect and Director of Cultural Studies, Department of Architecture, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow."Architecture does not determine how people inhabit the spaces it creates; it enables, suggests or constrains ways of living. Through everyday practices and collective action, people participate in creating and transforming places, shaping not only their physical environments but also the relationships and meanings that emerge through daily life. This process produces a shared yet often contested reality that design representations can never fully capture. This book asks whose knowledge shapes our places and whose experiences count in judging them, exploring how architectural practice and education can draw on inhabitation while recognising diverse needs, conflicting interests and unequal power."Leandro Madrazo, Professor at the School of Architecture La Salle, Ramon Llull University, Barcelona, Spain"Lived space has been theorised to exhaustion and practised too little. Ashraf Salama supplies the instruments we need: strategies, tools, and studio exercises, ready to use and open enough to be adapted to diverse contexts. He challenges us to ask the people who occupy a place, listen carefully, and let what we hear lead the design. This matters in Darwin, where climate, remoteness, and Aboriginal connection to Country shape every building. Having worked alongside Ashraf in architectural pedagogy for more than fifteen years, I find this measured, demanding, and necessary book essential reading for architects, educators, and students alike."Professor Lindy Osborne Burton, Foundation Professor and Head of Architecture, Charles Darwin University, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia
