Summary:

""In Detail, High-Density Housing" presents international projects documenting the breadth and complexity of the task from housing model to floor plan design, access, private outdoor spaces and flexible uses to economic and efficient building systems. The outstanding architectural and constructional quality of the housing ensembles is revealed in the uniform depiction of plans and in large-scale detail drawings. In the introductory contributions, experts shed a light on current developments and analyze design concepts. Given the density and detail of information, this volume is an indispensable reference source for all urban designers."--Jacket.
