{"product_id":"brussels-housing-9783035628784","title":"Brussels Housing","description":"Second and expanded edition 2025\n\n\u003cp\u003eModern urban terraced houses or row houses emerged in Europe from the 17th century onwards. Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block. In Brussels, this bourgeois type of housing took on a particularly varied and inspiring form – including the well-known Art Nouveau residences – which composes the DNA of the city to this day. This publication analyses 121 selected examples illustrating the emergence of the terraced house and its further development in other forms of housing. The result is a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and development of the city of Brussels with its particularly heterogenous cityscape.\u003cbr\u003eThis expanded edition comprises a new chapter by Kristiaan Borret, the city's former \"bouwmeester\". 13 new case studies were added and the content was updated. A project index facilitates quick navigation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWith four photo essays by the well-known Belgian photographer Maxime Delvaux \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAll plans have been drawn in standard scales, especially for the publication \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn atlas of exemplary historical and contemporary housing typologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubstantially expanded edition of the successful typological manual \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eAtlas of Residential Building Types.
