More Description
This book is a compendium of American building types and other elements, buildable in today's world, that serve walkable neighbourhoods -- a resource that should prove indispensable to those interested in dense communities and cities.
Increments of Neighborhood is a compendium of recent built work for urban neighbourhoods, encompassing the spectrum of building types financed/built by today's American real estate industry -- from single family and townhouses, through missing middle stacked housing, stick-built housing, large multi-family, and high-rise buildings. Demystify the understanding of costs and type, contribute to the public realm for the non-architectural professional, and provide a breadth and range of significant new information for experienced architects who typically specialize in a particular segment of building products such as hospitals or single-family houses, information with which they are frequently unacquainted.
