Description
DBOOK: Density Data Diagrams Dwellings comprises of 64 collective housing projects, analysed according to their contribution to the dense city. After the release of Density. New collective Housing, DBOOK represents a leap forward in the diffusion of architectural examples which promote the compact development of urban settlements.
In the first issues of a+t on Density, concern was expressed over indiscriminate land occupation and the conversion of the countryside into suburbs. Five years later, this tendency towards dispersion continues, though sustainabiltity criteria are becoming more integrated into urban planning standards and the rise of density in new plans is now widespread.
The unorganised invasion of the environment is often justified by the expensive price of urban land and the need for larger homes. Moreover, the freedom to choose one's residence is no minor argument for those who have dreams of green space with the promising independence of a single-family home, of the semi-detached home or even a row house, as opposed to that of apartment life. Through a selection of exciting projects from renowned architects, such as Baumschlager & Eberle, Feilden Clegg Bradley, Haworth Tompkins, Klein Dytham Architecture, MVRDV and Zaha Hadid Architects, DBOOK proves that when architectural conditions improve, collective housing can be a success.
