Wohnstädte der Zukunft : Neugestaltung der Kleinwohnungen im Hochbau der Grossstadt

Fries, Heinrich de · 1919 · Berlin : Verlag der Bauwelt · 17 pictures

A 1919 German architectural treatise by Heinrich de Fries, published in Berlin by Verlag der Bauwelt, on redesigning small urban dwellings in large-city multi-storey housing. Its pictures are measured floor plans and a section drawing, in black line on white, showing stacked apartment blocks with central stairwells, corridors labelled Wohngang, and loggias. A designer might take from them the clean hatched-wall plan notation and the compact layout logic of mid-century tenement flats.
