Collective housing has played a major role in architectural advances of the twentieth century. Social changes in the western world have forced architects to take note of the new priorities. Family ruptures and the manifestation of new models of cohabitation have confirmed the value of collective housing as a space that covers the bare necessities and allows a great aesthetic personality. In a western world that has reached a certain standard of health, ecological sustainability and the need for an urban cohesion around the buildings are the new burning issues. This book brings together some of the most outstanding projects of recent years including luxury skyscrapers, innovative social buildings, restorations and volumetric experiments of world renown. Illustrated with more than 400 photographs and plans, the projects in this book represent a wonderful example of the current desire to update collective housing.

Highrises: Social Living

Losantos, Àgata

Canizares, Ana G.

The land on which the following residences are built is the connecting thread of this volume. The plots, be it their topography or geological composition, determine the design of the houses and are a challenge for architects. The allotments' different heights and the geological characteristics define the organization and planning of the structures. Climatic elements such as wind, sun and rain determine the inclusion of energy-saving systems like a tank for rainwater or making use of the breezes to cool down the houses. The surroundings, mainly beautiful landscapes and ecological diversity, delimit the presence of houses, thus we can find some housing integrated into the scenery and other that provokes a clear visual contrast between nature and human creation. This book presents structural and material diversity, ideas for innovation and energy solutions that allow you to get the most out of natural resources.

Homes on Distinctive Land

Over the years, the apartment building has assumed numerous shapes and styles, incorporated vast numbers of technological advances and become the predominant type of housing in cities worldwide. Architects have often introduced a distinct aesthetic quality to high-rise complexes as an attempt to soften perceived harshness of character. This volume collects some of the most recognised designs throughout the world and presents current architectural trends in multi-housing projects. Images and plans show exterior and common areas, as well as private interior spaces.
