Die Stadtvilla neu definiert

---

Paris, Antwerpen, Zwolle und Bremen - in diesen Städten arbeitet das Atelier Kempe Thill an der Gebäudetypologie der Stadtvilla, die heute als eine Vision zeitgenössischen Wohnens den Wohnungsbau in Westeuropa wesentlich prägt. Die in dieser Publikation vorgestellten Projekte basieren allesamt auf diesem Grundtypus. Aus den nationalen und regionalen Besonderheiten und deren bewusster Konzeptualisierung entstehen jedoch jeweils ganz eigene Interpretationen. Der Band spürt den Projekten des Ateliers Kempe Thill in ihrem Spannungsverhältnis zwischen architektonischem Entwurf und lebensweltlichen Bedingungen nach. Zahlreiche Abbildungen sowie Texte namhafter Architekten und Kritiker eröffnen ein Verständnis für die Bauten und ihre Entstehungsprozesse. So bietet der Katalog ein Panorama der Bedingungen, unter denen gegenwärtig in Europa kollektiver Wohnungsbau entsteht.

Paris, Antwerp, Zwolle, and Brementhe Atelier Kempe Thill works in these cities on the building typology of the urban villa, which today essentially characterizes housing in Western Europe as a vision of contemporary living. The projects presented in this publication are all based on this basic type of structure. However, very distinct interpretations develop from specific national and regional features and their conscious conceptualization. The volume traces the projects by the Ateliers Kempe Thill in their relationship of tension between architectural design and lifeworld-related conditions. Numerous illustrations as well as texts by well-known architects and critics shed light on the buildings and their processes of origin. The catalogue thus provides a panorama of the conditions under which collective housing is currently developing in Europe.
