Abstract

In prosperous regions, housing markets are under significant pressure. With the focus on preserving land and developing brownfield sites, post-war housing estates are being earmarked for densification, as their density is perceived as rather low and the ownership is often concentrated in the hands of only a few publicly owned housing associations. In this setting, post-war estates are in danger of losing their characteristic spatial structures and landscaping. Adaptive Re-Use discusses strategies for the development of post-war housing by referring to European case studies from the period of 1945 to 1975. The contributions in this edited volume show how housing estates from different European countries are listed and preserved, and how architectural fabric can be adapted to meet today's needs.

Abstract

Stepped terrace housing is a building that more than meets modern housing requirements: it is economical and offers ample living space with the comfort of terrace and garden. First rising to popularity with the advent of new social movements in the 1960s, it was then forgotten as the fresh ideas of society progressively eroded. However, the enduring satisfaction of residents and ecological advantages of buildings covered in greenery make stepped terrace housing as attractive as ever. The buildings studied in the book are not only architectural icons ; one can learn so much from them about what residential buildings need today. One proponent of this building style was Harry Glück, passage of whose plea to build Green Cities can be reade in this volume.
