Items related to Housing+: On Thresholds, Transitions, and Transparencies
On ways of drawing the boundary between public and private. High-quality residential structures are much more than merely a series of different floor plans. First and foremost, the urban apartment house mediates between the private refuge and the public space of the city. In the process, boundaries between inside and outside are negotiated on a wide variety of scales. housing+ focuses on investigating spatial and architectural as well as social and communicative interfaces in residential construction. More than sixty international projects are documented, with easily comparable planning material drawn specially for the volume and detailed information on every project. The book covers the entire broad spectrum of urban apartment block construction, from towers, block structures, row houses, and gaps between buildings to housing complexes in outlying urban areas. Diagrams of access, building, and city-planning structures enlarge upon the typological drawings. The documentation of individual example projects is supplemented by more general essays on various topics.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Qualitätsvolle Wohnbauten sind weit mehr als eine Aneinanderreihung unterschiedlicher Grundrisse. Das städtische Wohnhaus vermittelt in erster Linie zwischen privatem Rückzug und städtischer Öffentlichkeit. Vielschichtige Grenzbeziehungen zwischen innen und außen werden dabei auf verschiedensten Maßstabsebenen verhandelt. wohnen+ legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Untersuchung der baulich-räumlichen sowie sozial-kommunikativen Schnittstellen im Wohnungsbau. Die Publikation gliedert sich in die vier Kapitel Städtebau, Erdgeschoss, Gebäudestruktur und Fassade, denen 67 internationale Projekte zugeordnet werden. Diese vier Themenschwerpunkte werden in den einleitenden Essays der Kapitel übergreifend diskutiert, die einzelnen Projekte werden innerhalb des Katalogs unter denselben Aspekten in kurzen Texten analysiert, eigens gezeichnetes und vergleichbares Planmaterial erweitert die typologischen Darstellungen. Die Bandbreite der ausgewählten Projekte umfasst städtischen Geschosswohnungsbau von Punkthäusern, Blockstrukturen, Zeilenbauten oder Baulücken bis hin zu Wohnanlagen in urbanen Randzonen.
