Description

Big cities are becoming more and more attractive as places to live, both nationally and internationally. The modern city represents a platform for contacts and mobility, for challenges and change. As a result, many European metropolises are registering a renewed trend towards living in urban space. However, many big cities have a surplus of available office space, while well-placed, attractive and reasonably priced apartments are lacking. The essays and projects in this book represent attempts to solve both these problems in one fell swoop.The book not only presents model residential buildings by well-known architects, but also innovative concepts that highlight future perspectives and opportunities for redundant office buildings. Their conversion into attractive apartments represents a challenge to architects, investors and residents.
