450 apartment floor plans from 50 competitions - 450 good solutions to a recurring question that is always posed in new and different ways: this is the content of the Floor Plan Manual. Over thirteen years, the Office for High-Rise Buildings of the City of Zurich has conducted 50 architectural competitions in residential construction. More than 4,000 apartments have emerged from these competitions, contributing to the excellent reputation of Zurich's housing development. The Floor Plan Manual not only documents the typical floor plans of all winning projects but also showcases a wide range of innovative floor plan types, where either established spatial organizations are questioned and further developed or unconventional concepts are devised and tested. The book presents the floor plans side by side without commentary, inviting readers to engage with different concepts of living space. Now featuring a foreword by André Odermatt.
