The Housing Floor Plan Atlas, for 10 years the bestseller among our reference works, has lost none of its actuality. Ground floor planning and living space requirements have changed little over the past decade, but the selected case-studies and their graphic presentation have been updated to satisfy the demands of today's audience. This new edition features: - some 35 new examples by Ben van Berkel, Caruso St John, Kazujo Sejima, MVRDV and other prominent modern architects, as well as adding classic case-studies by, for example, Mies van der Rohe, Louis I. Kahn, Adolf Loos, Richard Neutra et al. - 220 additional new plans, 110 new photos - improved readability through the use of a second pilot colour code - extra table to communicate the fundamental floor plan concept at a glance - bookmark (transparent) with a 1:200 cm measurement scale for easy recognition of plan dimensions.

The Floor Plan Manual Housing documents and analyzes 150 international housing projects since 1945. It shows the latest developments in housing and places them in the context of important examples from the past 65 years. This manual is distinguished by the typological and conceptual breadth of the projects it presents and by the extensive time period covered by the selection of examples. The selection of projects by established and still unknown architects is based first and foremost on the outstanding features of the floor plan. The focus is on projects that are exemplary and transferrable and on concepts that are innovative and trendsetting. A new feature - a diagram, a kind of figure-ground-plan, which accompanies each project - illustrates the unique characteristics and spatial qualifies of each floor plan. These diagrams, the systematic and highly informative representation, and the typological description of all projects allow readers to compare and evaluate the floor plans and to be inspired by the ideas and strategies of others - for their own work on floor plans.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Grundriss-Idee und die Besonderheit des Wohnungsgrundrisses, die in kurzen, prägnanten Projekttexten anschaulich erklärt werden. Zusätzliche Grundrissdiagramme helfen, die Grundriss-Idee noch schneller zu erfassen. (Quelle: Buchhandel.de).
