Living Complex
From Zombie City to the New Communal
Approximately one billion units of accommodation will need to be built worldwide over the course of the next twenty years. Houses as we know them today will no longer be economically or ecologically affordable in the future. How, then, should these dwellings look? The author introduces international examples that also stand for a new architectural outlook.
description
Cities all over the world are atrophying and the masses are moving to the suburbs. The construction industry is booming – and continues to build the same old kinds of housing. But society is undergoing a transformation. What sorts of dwellings do we need for our varied lifestyles today? Niklas Maak presents international examples for new living arrangements beyond blocks of fl ats and single-family houses. He shows that construction, living arrangements and the city itself must be reimagined – beyond the classic categories of the private and the public.
