Klappentext

Der Grundrissatlas Wohnungsbau gehört seit Jahrzehnten zu den Grundlagenwerken der Architektur. In seiner 5., überarbeiteten und erweiterten Auflage dokumentiert und analysiert er rund 160 internationale Wohnungsbauten seit 1945. Im Zentrum stehen Beispiele, die vorbildlich und übertragbar, und Konzepte, die innovativ und wegweisend sind. Die systematische Darstellung aller Projekte ermöglicht es dem Leser, die Grundrisse zu vergleichen und zu bewerten - um sich so durch die Ideen und Strategien bei der eigenen Arbeit am Grundriss anregen zu lassen.

Die einleitenden theoretischen und historischen Essays sind neu verfasst beziehungsweise aktualisiert worden und bieten ein übersichtlich strukturiertes Bild der Wohnungsbautypologie und ihrer Entwicklung.
