Density Projects: 36 New Concepts on Collective Housing

by Aurora Fernández Per, Javier Arpa

Presented here are recent collective housing projects - in phase of development or execution through 2007 - that are characterised by their use of densification models in combination with good architecture. Many of the projects incorporate other uses, alongside residential ones in their programmes. This contributes both to density and intensity of use in respective environments, in turn creating new urban nuclei and providing a solution to strained resources. Fully illustrated with plans, diagrams and elevations, Density Projects' includes works from the likes of; BIG, Jean Nouvel, Kohn Pedersen Fox, MGM, No.MAD, Stephen Holl, Studio Gang Architects and VMX architects.
