Throughout the twentieth century, the ancient city of Athens underwent a massive transformation into simple sets of apartment blocks, or polykatoikia. Today, these multifamily residential units define the city’s landscape from center to periphery and house a majority of Greece’s population. Yet specific circumstances and cultural patterns set Athens’s transformation apart from the arrival of architectural modernity in other countries, and what has emerged in Athens is a distinctly Greek variety of modern urban development.The Public-Private House examines Athens’s urban character and the apparently unlimited adaptability of polykatoikia. In the first part of the book, a photo essay offers an overall impression of Athens and its signature housing structure. The second part of the book investigates historic developments, the genuinely democratic process of urban planning in the city, and comparisons with Le Corbusier’s Dom-ino system, as well as exogenous factors, such as crucial social aspects and the impact of Athens’s strict building code. The concluding third part provides an illustrated analysis of Athens’s most notable examples of polykatoikia and of current developments in Greece contributing to the building type’s decline.

This book is the first in-depth analysis of one of the most remarkable monuments of Ostia, the ancient port town of Rome: The Domus del Ninfeo (III, VI, 1-3). Originally built as a multi-storey complex during the reign of Hadrian, in Late Antiquity it was converted into a ground-floor mansion to serve the dominus and his extended family. During this phase the building was enriched with marble floors and the elegant nymphaeum that gives it its current name. This study aims to present a comprehensive picture of the Domus, analysing not only the many structural changes but also its topographical setting, historical context and social inferences. The text also features the archaeological drawings that were made during the study and the results of a clearance in an area of the house previously neglected; the latter has provided invaluable evidence for interesting structural modifications that were previously completely unknown.

This book investigates the development of multi-unit housing typologies that were predominant in a particular city from the 1800s to present day. It emphasises the importance of understanding the direct connection between housing and dwelling in the context of a city, and the manner in which the city is an instructional indication of how a housing typology is embodied.The case studies presented offer an insight into why a certain housing type flourished in a specific city and the variety span across cities in the world where distinct housing types have prevailed. It also pursues how housing types developed, evolved, and helped define the city, looks into how dwellers inhabited their dwellings, and analyses how the housing typologies correlates in a contemporary context. The typologies studied are back-to-backs in Birmingham; tenements in London; Haussmann Apartment in Paris; tenements in New York; tong lau in Hong Kong; perimeter block, linear block, and block-edge in Berlin; perimeter block and solitaire in Amsterdam; space-enclosing structure in Beijing; micro house in Tokyo, and high-rise in Toronto.

Cet ouvrage, nourri par de nombreuses recherches et interventions dans les grands ensembles d'habitat social, révèle la diversité de ces quartiers et des modes d'habiter de leurs occupants. Il montre l'importance que représente l'habitat pour ces personnes, et le rôle décisif qu'il joue dans leur inscription dans la société. Dépassant les vaines oppositions entre urbain et social, conditions de vie et cadre de vie, il met en évidence les interactions entre les situations socio¬-économiques des habitants, la conception des espaces urbains et leur gestion, ainsi que les politiques publiques qui contribuent à façonner modes d'habiter et situations habitantes. Cette analyse réinterroge les fondements de la politique de la ville et propose une nouvelle conception de l'action.
