Produktbeschreibung

The urban villa is a mid-size, multi-family housing type which originated in the 1800s and has since become a staple housing type in many European cities and beyond. Its distinguishing characteristics are its density and speculative nature. The urban villa was born in an attempt to resolve aspirations to suburban living with the pressure of land costs. Despite its somewhat controversial reputation, the urban villa has been a (commercial) success due its indisputable appeal to all kinds of dwellers. The goal of this study is twofold: to revisit the rather elusive history of the urban villa, and to develop this architectural type in opposition to its speculative origins by treating it as the most appropriate form for affordable, public and cooperative housing.
