This book combines the architectural and urban scales to \ndemonstrate that it is a specific quality, urban intensity, which \ndetermines the success of housing. The authors provide a typology of \nhousing according to the ways in which diversity and density are \ncreated. Comparisons with historical models and critical appraisals \nbased on the authors’ unique standing give ample information on the pros\n and cons of major types of housing, their pitfalls and successful \nexamples. Newly created sets of drawings, from floor plans to \nspectacular 3D aerial views of the buildings in their urban contexts, \naccompany each of the more than twenty case studies that are described \nand analyzed in detail. The approach taken here relates to many pressing\n issues in contemporary housing, including the avoidance of urban \nsprawl, the revival of city centers and the ongoing search for \ninnovative housing types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \n        \n            \u003cp\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA qualitative approach to diversity and density in housing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA concept that unites architectural and urban design \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA wide range of original drawings of benchmark case studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter G.
