Florian Heilmeyer reviews 10 Stories of Collective Housing on the blog of Uncube, an architecture online magazine based in Berlin, Germany.

"This is a book of excess in many ways. In the excessive volume of its information and perfectly designed layouts; in the excessive number of info-graphics that present even the most complex and multi-layered connections in a beautiful, clear way. It is excessive too in its lust for detail and almost insatiable interest in analysing and understanding the ten collective housing schemes that it presents in all their details, references, meanings and relevance. It really sets a completely new standard in architectural publications. On reading I had to admit (excessively too!) that it really seems almost the perfect architecture book."
