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.

Die intelligente Weiterentwicklung von Bautypen ist eine wesentliche Aufgabenstellung im Wohnungsbau. Für den einzelnen Entwurf ebenso wie für die breite Verwendbarkeit, Wiederholbarkeit und Variation von erprobten Strukturen ist das vertiefte Verständnis der zugrunde liegenden Typen unverzichtbar.
Für die Wohnungsbautypologie haben die Autoren neue, systematische Darstellungen über die innovativsten Typen entwickelt. In den einzelnen Bänden werden die Anwendungs- und Transformationsmöglichkeiten jeweils, einer bestimmten Wohnbauform entfaltet.
Der erste Band behandelt die Typen des Hofhauses, die den Hof als intimen Außenraum des Wohnens nutzen. Einer Darstellung des Hofs als Stadtbaustein folgt ein umfassendes Typenspektrum: Cluster, Netz, Teppich, Hofreite, Terrassen etc.
Der zweite Band 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.
Innerhalb eines jeden Typs werden Varianten nach verschiedenen Erschließungsformen, Geschossigkeit etc. unterschieden. Das Spektrum der Lösungen ist in einheitlich und maßstäblich neu gezeichneten Grundrissen und Schnitten aufgearbeitet.
