Summary:
L'ouvrage présente une succession de projets, réalisés ou en cours. Les opérations présentées alternent les échelles - de l'urbanisme à l'architecture -, les typologies et les formes architecturales. Certains projets auront alors une expression forte tandis que d'autres, plus effacés, s'affirmeront par des qualités différentes. Chacun constitue un cas particulier qui actualise la démarche. Cette dernière comprend trois axes qui donnent toute leur consistance aux projets : une prise en charge de l'hétérogène (chercher), un axe de convergence avec les acteurs (transmettre), plan de réalisation (construire). Au long de l'ouvrage, les témoignages de protagonistes ou d'utilisateurs accompagnent la présentation de quelques réalisations pour mettre en valeur un point de vue particulier.

Summary:
The architects of the Rotterdam architecture practice Biq Stadsontwerp realize that the human habitat is no pristine idyll. Hans van der Heijden and Rick Wessels consider the habitat to be the architect's field of work and the gauge of the design. The design's effectiveness is the product of traditions and societal conventions, of the dreams, desires, and fictions of its inhabitants, but also of the possibilities and limitations of the construction industry. biq stadsontwerp links architectonic forms to the negotiations inherent in working in the modern city. Habitat examines this realism through five of the practice's designs.
