Présentation de l'éditeur :
Following in the footsteps of the successful Hybrids series, this
double issue of a+t introduces a new line of investigation, presenting
a collection of 20 new projects that are also accompanied by a
compilation of classic hybrid buildings.
These structures encourage the
interaction of a variety of urban uses while also successfully
combining private residential activities within the public realm. In
particular, this hybridisation goes beyond mix-use programmes, as it
reflects the combination of public and private interests in housing,
public space and civic facilities.
In so doing, it also provides a
suitable response to concerns about land scarcity, high-costs,
sustainable development and urban revitalisation.
