Summary:
Prefabricated housing has long since ceased to mean the disfigurement of the urban landscape with monotonous grey boxes. Particularly in Central Europe and Russia, modern assembly methods and 100 years of experience in planning prefabricated buildings and constructing with large panels are experiencing a renaissance.

Summary:
Ce cahier de théorie propose une étude de l'architecture des logements collectifs projetés dans les concours suisses entre 2000 et 2005. Leur analyse critique, non exhaustive, souligne les tendances prédominantes - notamment organiques - et révèle, en les mettant en perspective, les préoccupations actuelles concernant l'innovation et l'adaptation spatiale à l'évolution des modes de vie. Cette étude montre en particulier que les coopératives d'habitation et les investisseurs privés ne considèrent plus la question du logement qu'à l'aune exclusive des subventions ou des aides financières: la qualité des espaces domestiques est aujourd'hui devenue une question centrale de leurs réflexions.

Summary:
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.
