Vertical Living: Compact Architecture For Urban Spaces (Hardcover)

With global populations projected to shift to 80-90% urban over the next 30 years, architects face a growing challenge: how to accommodate all that growth in limited space, at a time when movements around downsizing and living with less are redefining how we live. Vertical Living explores the future of residential architecture in growing cities through ingenious solutions, from impossibly skinny houses wedged into narrow plots to spacious homes built into neglected infill sites and comfortable homes created in tiny spaces. Combining inspirational projects, in-depth features and engaging profiles of architects around the world, it offers a new way of looking at how we live in the built environment.
