FORM&DATA. Collective Housing Projects: An Anatomical Review

The illustration of the elephant is a reference to the issue of the relationship between support structure and form. This interior system is known to exist yet we are not always aware of its material nature.

FORM&DATA includes an anatomical review of 20 collective housing projects, which gives an insight into the real relationship between form and internal organs and to finds the true location of the soul of each building.

a+t research group continues along the route first taken with WHY DENSITY?, a set of tools in order to build the dense city. FORM&DATA applies the concepts included in it to analyze graphically collective housing projects, built between 2013 and 2016.

Elements extracted from the projects:

• Urban form
• Concept
• Data (land occupation, location)
• Hard performances (insertion in the grid, shared space, public space, circulation, uses…)
• Plans, elevations and sections

Moreover, FORM&DATA includes a chapter of 23 pages that compares and relates the projects.

The book forms part of the Density series, which became a reference for publications about collective housing worldwide.

This publication presents a review of projects built between 2013 and 2016, to which an anatomical dissection of the elements constituting their form has been applied. It offers an integral vision of each work, from its implementation in the territory to the breakdown of its typologies, and continues along the line of inquiry first taken with ‘Why Density?’, developing the concepts on building the dense city expressed therein, this time with new projects. The book is part of the ‘Density’ series, initiated in 2002 by a+t research group (currently Aurora Fernández Per and Javier Mozas), which is considered to be a key instrument in the global investigation of collective housing.
