Description
Winner of the 2021 ARCC Book Award
Complex Housing introduces an architectural type known as complex housing, prevalent in the Netherlands and observed in other Northern European countries. The book includes eight fully illustrated case studies demonstrating successful approaches to designing for density, which reflect values such as long-term planning, a right to housing, and access to light and air.
The case studies showcase a diverse range of applications, including a mixture of urban and suburban sites, various numbers of dwelling units, low- to high-density approaches, different architectural styles, and organisational strategies that can be applied to projects elsewhere. The book contains more than 350 colour images, offering a comprehensive visual guide.
