This housing construction design manual documents and analyzes some 130 international residential structures from the last fifty years. From the standardized floor plans of the 1960s to the more individual concepts of the 1980s and the changed requirements and housing types of recent years, example structures by famous and lesser known architects from throughout the world showcase the tremendous variety of possible designs. The categorization of projects from a town planning perspective is supplemented by the detailed typological description of the relevant housing types. Every project is presented with its typical floor plans to a scale of 1:200; sections, site plans, and photographs illuminate each building’s structure and situation.In addition to incorporating some forty new projects, this new edition now contains figure-ground diagrams that highlight the most salient features of the floor plans, making them even easier to compare.

Der Grundrissatlas Wohnungsbau gehört seit Jahrzehnten zu den Grundlagenwerken der Architektur. In seiner 5., überarbeiteten und erweiterten Auflage dokumentiert und analysiert er rund 160 internationale Wohnungsbauten seit 1945. Im Zentrum stehen Beispiele, die vorbildlich und übertragbar, und Konzepte, die innovativ und wegweisend sind. Die systematische Darstellung aller Projekte ermöglicht es dem Leser, die Grundrisse zu vergleichen und zu bewerten – um sich so durch die Ideen und Strategien bei der eigenen Arbeit am Grundriss anregen zu lassen.
