Description

This book analyses and documents a unique project. In the 1990s an urgent need for housing prompted the Linz city administration to take a highly innovative step. Bearing in mind the high energy consumption of conventional developments, an ecologically-driven development was considered the ideal solution.

The resulting Linz Pichling development, or solarCity, houses 3000-odd people on a site with its own complete infrastructure and straightforward transport links to central Linz. Entirely composed of low-energy housing, the details of this exemplary development will make required reading for architects, planners and all involved in housing development.
