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:
John Turner's classic essay now in its fourht edition makes a unique contribution to housing theory and practice. His three Laws of Housing summarize the psychological, social and economic basis of his thesis: 1. When people have no control over, nor responsibility for, key decisions in the housing process, dwelling environments may become a barrier to personal fulfilment and a burden on the economy. 2. The important thing about housing is not what it is, but what it does in people's lives. 3. Deficiencies and imperfections in your housing are infinitely more tolerable if they are your responsibility than if they are somebody else's.

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.

Summary:
A study of PREVI after more than three decades since its formulation seeks not only to salvage the original construction along the lines of an 'archaeological' survey, which reclaims the authorial oeuvre hidden behind the constant interventions on the part of its occupants, but aims to call into question the idea of housing as a habitational solution, the role of the architect in the process and the materials of the design as scarce resources. To salvage the idea of neighbouring units, the rapport between public and communal space, the values and possibilities of a more open city planning and the different family structures against the actual standardisation of the user.

Summary:
Our living requirements reflect the condition of our society. Currently, there is a very large range of perceptibly different living requirements. The shared apartment, originally a youthful living model, is becoming an increasingly important concept for the elderly. But the single-resident apartment trend continues unabated, although there is a conscious movement towards spatial organization that includes contact possibilities. Community facilities such as workshops, kitchens or guest apartments and informal meeting places such as saunas and gardens give a residential project great added value. This is precisely where access ways are of particular importance, especially in low-budget residential construction. This publication documents and analyzes type variants in recent international examples and puts them in context with historical buildings featuring sheltering walkways built from 1920 to 1970.
