Summary:
We are not only living longer than our grandparents, but we are also working longer and remaining more active and enterprising than they did. Thus for many today the second half of life os marked by a broad and varied range of activities that call for freedom of action, whether one has a disability or other limitation or not. What types of housing will make it possible to shape this ever longer and more important phase of our lives in accord with our wishes and needs? In addition to the desire of most older people to remain in their homes, we are also seeing the emergence of new and novel communal types of housing, such as shared apartments, houses, and housing developments; integrated residential communities; assisted living; and group homes. Against this backdrop, noted authors consider various aspects of the second phase of life. In addition, realized projects in Switzerland and Germany are presented and analysed in terms of their practical feasibility. Living Concepts is edited by the ETH Wohnforum, an interdiciplinary research group housed in the Faculty of Architecture of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. It presents selected themes from the broad field of housing and is aimed at both specialist readers and those with a general interest in culture.

Summary:
This paradigm shift is reflected in architecture as well: in recent years, increasingly innovative collective housing projects, organized around the principle of trading-in private spaces for larger, more luxurious shared spaces, have been emerging across the globe—many of them realized through bottom-up grassroots initiatives. The return of the collective in architecture has resulted in surprising architectural solutions that also create new urban spaces. "Together! The new architecture of the collective" presents around 20 international building projects from Europe, Japan and the US that provide innovative platforms for collective living in the present day. A selection of projects is discussed in detail, and extensive photo essays offer vivid impressions of the daily collective and private life and everyday routines in these buildings. Interviews with movers and shakers from the collective housing scene, written by international journalists, offer insights and background information on the processes and people that have made each project possible. All this is complemented by theoretical and historical context, including analytical essays by experts in the field, infographics providing facts and figures, diagrams explaining how different collective housing models work and an extensive timeline detailing the genealogy of the collective housing movement in the 20th century.
