At Home - Architecture for Urban Living - Grand Format

Cities are engines of social change and diversity, whose density is increasing in many ploces. What housing models and architectural concepts do we need to secure the quality of life in urban centres in the long term ? This book documents 26 current urban housing projects, including neighbourhood and multistorey apartment buildings, cooperative complekes and social housing, or townhouses. The individual projects are presented from the organisation of the floor plan to the constructional detail.
How open or separated are they towards the urban environment ? Which materials and types of construction are suitable for which functions ? A complementary section of the book shows how extensions, conversions, and refurbishments also contribute to meeting economic and ecological housing requirements in the city.
