Multi-family housing is acknowledged as a complex residential building type. The architect's design must foster a sense of comunity in an urban setting, while also accomodating the need for a resident's individual space. This new volume documents more than 30 multi-family housing projects from around North America in full-colour photography accompanied by descriptive text. These multi-family projects represent some of the latest design trends in high-density living.

(Cesar Pelli, born in Argentina, heads on of the most reno...)
Cesar Pelli, born in Argentina, heads on of the most renowned American architectural offices. He became famous with his smooth buildings enclosed in taut walls of colored glass and his elegant towers, such as the World Financial Center in New York or the Canary Wharf Tower in London. In 1997, his design for the world's tallest building, the Petronas Towers, was erected in Malaysia. More than 20 current buildings in the U.S., Asia and Europe present solutions to the most diverse building tasks. With great knowledge and in detail, the author documents, among others, the famous Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, the Edificio Republica in Buenos Aires, the Zurich Tower in Den Haag, the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Osaka, the Physics and Astronomy building in Seattle, Washington National Airport and the NTT Shinjuku Headquarters in Tokyo. Urban tasks, such as the master plan for the University of Texas at Austin, are also presented. All projects illustrate Pelli's well-known postulate that "a building must be botth background and foreground. As foreground, it must have some exceptional qualities. But it must also try very hard to knit into the fabric" of the city.
