High-Density Housing

Residential construction as a challenge – flexible floor plans in detail

From the floor plan to technical construction – the fundamentals of residential planning

Housing layouts should be as varied as the lifestyles of their residents. Architects and planners are called on to develop flexible solutions. The growing demand for living space in conurbations makes this an increasingly challenging and complex task. High-density Housing documents the entire bandwidth of this task with international projects as examples. The uniform graphic representation of floor plans and large-scale detailed drawings makes the high architectural and design quality of residential areas legible and easy to compare.

  • From the single lifestyle to integral living – concepts for changing needs

  • Paris

    Paris carries its history in its buildings and yet remains a perpetual site of architectural experiment. No other major city negotiates tradition and innovation quite so naturally. The book portrays a generation of architects – among them established practices such as Moussafir Architectes and Régis Roudil – who are fundamentally rethinking urban space. Large-format photographs, precise plans, and well-researched texts invite readers on an architectural tour of the city, presenting a variety of outstanding contemporary buildings that engage with the defining issues of our time: urban density, ecological responsibility, and social diversity. A multilayered picture of a city in transition – between cultural heritage and a visionary future.

  • Housing

    How can we build housing today that is genuinely affordable, socially inclusive, and sustainable? This book presents 33 best-practice projects spanning social housing, lowcost construction, and building renovation, showing how architecture can respond to the pressing challenges of our time with intelligence and responsibility. Detailed drawings at 1:20 scale give precise insights into each construction solution, complemented by floor plans and sections that enable a sound spatial and technical understanding of the buildings. Photographs and texts convey atmosphere, materiality, and architectural quality.
