Various prestigious architects present their most recent creations for apartment buildings, from the most innovative and avant-garde proposais, to those that attempt to create spaces whose personalities adapt to their contents. Conventional vertical dwellings, buildings for specific groups and residential complexes share a common spirit : rigour, imagination and respect for both the persons who will occupy them and the enviroment in which they are located. The works of Christian de Portzamparc, Herzog & de Meuron, Ten Arquitectos, Philippe Gazeau to name just a few of the architects included in this book, provide stimulating answers, ingenious solutions, unexpected points of view and proposals that will without doubt influence the conception of residential architecture.
