Présentation de l'éditeur :
What readers will find in this book is nothing less than a treasure
trove of ideas and urban style, particularly useful for architects.
To continue developing existing building types in an intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential building.
For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have
developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types.
Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and
transforming a particular form of residential structure.
The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard
house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living
space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city
is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types - cluster,
network, carpet, terraces, etc.
The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a
particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general
discussion of the row as organizing principle – the row as urban
building block, linear space, ways of handling corners – is followed by
the systematic presentation of the different types.
