Description
Our home is now in a city which is compact and mixed which grows inwards and is renewed. We are returning to the historic city, to the modern city, to the post-industrial city. We are regenerating the narrow plots of the medieval urban grids, the 19th century urban extensions and the ‘new-old’ neighbourhoods of the 60s. ‘Density is Home’ echoes these types of city ¬ – dispersed, expansive, modern, the core of the city and the recycled city – through 37 projects of collective housing. With projects by Aires Mateus, Marlies Rohmer, Batlle I Roig, Chiba Manabu, Lacaton & Vasal, and Diener & Diener amongst many others.
