Zu Hause / At Home: Architektur Zum Wohnen in Der Stadt / Architecture for Urban Living (Paperback)

Bilingual Edition: English / German

What does living in the city mean today? Urban centres
promise diversity and agglomeration - they are the motors for changes in
society. By means of 26 townhouses, urban multi-storey residential
buildings and residential quarters for families, couples, flat/house
shares and singles, this book presents a range of current lifestyle and
living models. From organisation of the floor plan to construction
details, various urban design and social aspects are presented. What
decisions are made with regard to the degree of openness to and
delimitation from the surrounding environment, which materials are used,
how much private and communal space is planned? It is also considered
how extensions, conversions and renovations can help to meet economic
and ecological living requirements in the city.
