## Description

This book features some ninety of the most influential modern housing designs of the last hundred years by some of the best-known architects in the field. Each project is explained with a concise text and photographs and specially created scale drawings, including floor plans and site plans, sections and elevations where appropriate. The projects are organized in six roughly chronological chapters tracing the history of both public and private housing around the world. The detailed drawings allow each project to be analyzed in depth, which, alongside the author's authoritative text, will make this an invaluable resource for architects and students. As an added bonus, the book includes a CD-ROM containing digital files of all the drawings featured in the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book, I would love to see a bit ...
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 June 2017*

Very good book, I would love to see a bit more of details but that's asking too much. Overall great to understand some famous buildings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great content
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 17 October 2014*

Great review of iconic housing projects. Great plans, elevations and sections to understand schematics. Would have liked to see some construction details, but I am happy with this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ State or Private land, Project images with alternate implications
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 May 2026*

Very good documentation and analysis. With the project names and credits, one could go further to Wikipedia and YouTube to find out more about the good and not-so-perfect challenges related to some of the projects. Important history of how social housing started from the 1900s to the better designs after 1965s.
