This architectural design book focuses on mass studies for apartment buildings, offering a new perspective on architectural composition for architects, students, and readers interested in architecture. The author re-examines the apartment building as a design model, for today and tomorrow, through a simple, flexible, and explicit design approach. The innovation of this book lies in the idea that any type of apartment building can be designed and understood using three programming fields/elements of any apartment building: residential, circulation, and shared spaces. The author clearly and explicitly highlights multiple combinations of these three elements during the massing phase of design for apartment projects, analyzing case studies of twelve world-famous apartment buildings. This approach provides many design solutions instead of just one proposal. All case studies are examined through diagrams, plans, and photographs, with a summary at the end of each chapter emphasizing the main knowledge gained. Designed and illustrated with over 150 color images, this book is an essential read for any architect, student, or reader interested in apartment building design. Pages: 254, Dimensions: 21x21cm
