Abstract: *Housing Atlas* presents nearly 100 significant European housing projects from the 20th century, a time when architects tackled the challenges of modern urban living with innovative designs. Beautifully illustrated with plans, sections, and elevations, the book provides a clear, comparative view of each project. Arranged chronologically, it includes historical and analytical insights contributed by a team of leading European scholars. Contextual essays further enrich the understanding of each scheme. As contemporary architects revisit these pioneering works for solutions to today’s housing crisis, this essential survey serves as both a reference and inspiration for future housing design.
