In living, the societal context is immediate and directly represented.
The context in which architecture exists and arises from has always been the identity of people as they lived out who they are and thereby created their settlements and cities. Building kinds and house types arose from that process, giving the cities special features. With globalization and the growing coherence of building techniques, typologically unique forms are falling away.
This is especially visible in the impressive building typologies of Venice. This book shows, along with the various typologies, possibilities to transform them in today`s context.
