An introduction presents the history of multiple-occupancy housing through its most innovative 20th-century exemplars, from the urbane blocks of Auguste Perret and Henri Sauvage in Paris, to the landscaped housing estates of Weimar Germany and the visionary schemes of Le Corbusier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the book features 39 recent or ongoing projects, designed by leading international studios and rising talents. Buildings range from social housing and micro apartments to urban villages, megastructures, and innovative high-rises. Each project is considered for the way in which it enriches the lives of residents and the city, and is shown through drawings and photographs, taken from the street and within. The book also includes interviews with such contemporary masters of apartment design as Michael Maltzan, Lorcan O'Herlihy, Édouard François, and Bjarke Ingels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs our cities grow more crowded, it is critical that we produce creative buildings that enhance the lives of their inhabitants, their surroundings, and the urban environment as a whole. \u003ci\u003eBuilding Community\u003c\/i\u003e offers dozens of proven successes to designers and apartment-dwellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith 348 illustrations in colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47340660916460,"sku":"9780500296394","price":72.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2784803482366.jpg?v=1772164168","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/building-community-by-michael-webb-9780500296394","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
