Sommario/riassunto

Residential Buildings are normally the first design projects encountered by the student in his or her training. The focus at this point is on the different conceptual possibilities that allow one to take the first step toward an actual idea. Themes: concepts and kinds of cohabitation and dwelling residential functions the creation of living space design in housing construction This book is intended to help readers to find an easy way into the complex subject of housing design, explaining fundamental concepts, the way the individual living areas can cohere, and building form variations. The aim is to understand approaches to making rooms, living areas and entire residential units fit together, and to be able to use this knowledge to develop one’s own housing construction design work competently and prudently.
