- Summary:
- Das Terrassenhaus entspricht als Bautyp modernen Wohnbau-Anforderungen: es ist ökonomisch und bietet bei geringem Bodenverbrauch hohen Wohnkomfort mit Terrasse und Garten. Populär geworden mit den sozialen Bewegungen in den 1960er Jahren, geriet es mit der fortschreitenden Erosion der Idee von Gesellschaft wieder in Vergessenheit und wurde gar als Bausünde abqualifiziert. Doch die anhaltende Bewohnerzufriedenheit und die ökologischen Vorteile eines begrünten Hauses machen das Terrassenhaus mehr denn je attraktiv. Die im Buch untersuchten Bauten sind heute nicht nur architektonische Ikonen; man kann auch von ihnen immer noch lernen, was der Wohnungsbau heute braucht. Ein Vertreter dieses Bautyps war Harry Glück, dessen Plädoyer für die grüne Stadt hier in Teilen abgedruckt wird.
- The stepped terraced house is a type of building that meets modern housing requirements: it is economical and offers ample living space with the comfort of terrace and garden. Rising to popularity with the advent of new social movements it was forgotten with the progressive erosion of the new ideas of society and relegated them to obscurity or even to their disqualification as eyesores. Yet the enduring satisfaction of residents and ecological advantages of green houses make terraced housing as attractive as ever. The buildings studied in the book are not only architectural icons today; even today, one can still learn from them about what residential buildings need. One proponent of this building style was Harry Glück; part of his text pleading the case for a green city is printed here.
