Synopsis

The
book tells the story of communal living from about 1850 until today.
Three motives of sharing - the economic, political and social intention -
divide the residential objects, which are investigated in a historical
analysis and allocated to nine development phases.

The author
investigates and compares different forms of housing and the way they
developed from their origins until today; she illustrates how everyday
shared living and the degrees of privacy in housing are practiced in
Europe.

Owing to its comprehensive documentation, the analysis
of typologies, layout plans, and user and expert interviews, the book
can also be considered to be a lexicon or handbook on communal living. A
detailed overview that is unique in this form.

The out-of-print first edition is now published in an updated new edition with new design and layout.

  • Illustration of European housing concepts since 1850
  • Over 30 case examples on how and why people live together
  • New edition of the standard work on collective living
