Housing Atlas - Europe 20th Century

In Housing Atlas, beautifully drawn plans, sections and elevations document 87 of the most important European housing schemes of the 20th century. This was the period when architects addressed the multiple challenges of modern urban living and responded with an array of innovative solutions. Today, architects are revisiting these designs as they seek answers to the housing crisis. Chronologically ordered, this is an essential survey of these key housing projects, produced by a pan-European team of leading scholars. Complete with contextual essays, the studies each include a history and analysis of the projects and the drawings are presented in a way that makes them all readily comparable.
