Bauhaus Nｰ 12: Habitat (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783959054003)

Understanding architectural holism from both a historical and a contemporary perspective

In 1953, a group of young architects met and proposed a radical shift away from functionalist housing as an architectural standard, instead offering the term "habitat" as a holistic view uniting housing, human beings and the environment. Bauhaus 12 focuses on this debate through postwar history.
