Résumé:
Part architecture, part history, and part anthropology, this encyclopedic book limns the story of housing around the world from the pre-urban dwellings of nomadic, semi-nomadic, and sedentary agricultural societies to the present. Ancient urban dwellings were inward-looking, ranged around a courtyard. Until fairly recently, these dwelling types survived in indigenous urban house forms in the Islamic world, India, China, and the Iberian peninsula and Latin America. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, however, outward-looking house forms replaced the ancient form in most of Europe and the New World. In the Middle Ages houses served both as homes and as places of work, but gradually the domestic and business lives of the inhabitants became separate. In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, profound changes in the residential development of the western world occurred: housing became segregated along socioeconomic lines and dwelling types polarized, with low-density, single-family houses at one extreme, and tall, high-density, multifamily tenements and apartments at the other. Side effects of America’s automobile-intensive suburban dream housing include inefficient land use, pollution, and urban decay. "6,000 Years of Housing" chronicles how this came about, and suggests solutions based on a rich variety of historical precedents.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.
