To continue developing existing building types in an intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential building. For the success of the individual design, as well as for ensuring that tried and tested structures can be utilized, repeated, and varied, a deeper grasp of the underlying types is indispensable. For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and transforming a particular form of residential structure. The fourth volume deals with the types of freestanding houses, whose all-around orientation allows for the optimal arrangement of all dwellings. A presentation of the freestanding house as an isolated element and as a building block for larger structures is followed by discussions of topics such as self-sufficiency versus neighborhoods, „Raumplan“ versus „plan libre,“ and individuality versus density. Within each type, variants are distinguished according to type of access, number of floors, etc. The range of possible solutions is presented in uniform ground plans and sections newly drawn to scale.

To continue developing existing building types in an intelligent way is a crucial task in the field of residential building. A deeper understanding of the underlying types is indispensable for the success of the individual design, as well as for ensuring that tried and tested structures can be utilized, repeated, and varied in a wide variety of situations. For this typology of residential buildings, the authors have developed systematic new presentations of the most innovative types. Each individual volume lays out the possibilities for using and transforming a particular form of residential structure. The first volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types - cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc. The second volume is devoted to the various types of row house, a particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general discussion of the row as organizing principle - the row as urban building block, linear space, ways of handling corners - is followed by the systematic presentation of the different types. Within each type, variants are distinguished according to how they organize space, their number of floors, etc. The range of possible solutions is presented in uniform ground plans newly drawn to scale.

The systematic development of building types is an important task in housing construction. A deeper understanding of the underlying building types is mandatory, both for individual designs and for the wider application and variation of tried-and-tested structures. The authors have developed an innovative, drawing-based approach for unfolding the potentials of several existing building types for the future of urban housing. The first part is dedicated to the courtyard house, in which the courtyard is used as a private outside living space. The second part deals with the popular form of the terraced house and discusses aspects of corner solutions or terraced developments as an urban design element. In the third part, the townhouse is discussed with view to variants such as single-story and apartment buildings, including aspects of privacy and public access, as well as living and working. Finally, the detached house type is considered in its potential to provide all-directional orientation of the living space. The array of solutions is presented consistently in floorplans and cross-sections drawn to scale. In a new introduction to this all-in-one compendium the authors discuss the implications of the typological approach for today's housing design.

Dieser Band der Wohnbautypologien widmet sich den Typen des Reihenhauses, einer besonders weit verbreiteten Wohnform. Auf die übergreifende Erörterung des Prinzips Reihe – Reihe als Stadtbaustein, der lineare Raum und die Ecklösungen etc. – folgt die systematische Darstellung der unterschiedlichen Typen.

Die Konstruktionsatlanten der Edition „Detail“ haben im Bereich baukonstruktiver Fachliteratur Maßstäbe gesetzt. Dieser Band der Reihe zeigt nun als vollständig neu erarbeitete Ausgabe die heutigen Möglichkeiten des Mauerwerkbaus und dokumentiert ausführlich die technischen Grundlagen der Konstruktion: Materialeigenschaften von Stein und Mörtel, Steinformate und -verbände, Tragverhalten sowie Konstruktions- und Ausführungsweisen im Mauerwerksbau werden ebenso erläutert wie die bauphysikalischen Anforderungen an Wärme-, Feuchte-, Schall- und Brandschutz und der neueste Stand der Normung. Anhand aktueller gebauter Beispiele wird die vielfältige Palette des zeitgenössischen Bauens mit Mauerwerk vorgestellt und bis zur Detailausbildung gezeigt. Hierbei wird auf unterschiedliche Bauaufgaben und verschiedene Einsatzmöglichkeiten von Mauersteinen eingegangen. Alle Planzeichnungen wurden von der Edition DETAIL eigens für das Buch erstellt und ermöglichen Vergleiche auf einem einheitlich hohen Niveau.

The Masonry Construction Manual examines the wide range of possibilities stone and brickwork offer in building. It documents in great detail the technical principles and methods of building with these materials, examines their properties, the sizes and forms of bricks and stones, the bonds, and the behaviour of stone and brickwork under stress. In addition, full information is provided on the requirements with respect to heat, damp, sound-proofing and fire protection, and the most recent standards and norms are listed. Finally, a large number of built examples are presented, complete with plans and details, all of which illustrate the many applications of stone and brickwork in contemporary construction. All plans have been drawn at equal scale especially for this book to ensure best legibility and easy comparison. The construction manuals from Edition Detail have set new standards in the field of specialist literature, becoming an indispensable part of any architect's library.
