Land occupancy and the construction of the compact city continue to be the basis of the Density series, which is now being extended with HoCo, the new volume on Housing, published by a+t which will be on sale 25 June.
This time we have tried to better understand the context of each intervention through wide aerial views of the surroundings. The variety of sites, from small nuclei of population to consolidated urban centres, taking in city extensions and recovered urban voids, is enriched by the different lifestyles still observed in the 12 countries that have been included.
We add the type of promotion, the type of use and the type of user as essential factors in order to understand a project, along with the cost.
As far as densities are concerned, the range oscillates from that of 57 dwellings per hectare of a project located in a small Swiss town to those of over 500 dwellings per hectare reached by projects located in cities as dense as Barcelona or Paris. The density data of each project refers to the net plot densities.
