Levitt Bernstein has a long tradition of involvement in the improvement of the quality of our built environment. This has included research, committees, working parties, lectures, peer reviews, books and articles. This commitment is part of our desire to share the lessons we have learnt from our practical involvement, and to drive forward the debate where we believe that standards or normal practice are inconsistent with the needs of the current century. The following projects are a snapshot of the work we do as a practice to keep at the forefront of progress.
The Housing Design Handbook, written by David Levitt, has been so successful it is now in its 2nd edition and has also been translated in Chinese.
