Abstract
The book publication is based on the results of COST Action C16 and contains an overview on the state of the Art of suburban building stock of post war period in Europe. main layouts, typologies, technologies, functional solutions, phisical and comfort aspects are examined. The scope of the action within the COST is to improve techniques and methods for envelopes of buildings built during the last half of the 20th century in the COST countries.This book is the first of a series of four books, and it contains contributions from 15 European countries, representing a total of 315.5 million inhabitants. The total number of dwellings in these 15 countries amounts to almost 130 million as can be established in table 1. Therefore, it can safely be assumed that this volume gives a Europe-wide inventory of the qualities and the shortcomings of the post-war apartment stock.In each contribution the State of the Art of the present housing stock of that particular country is recorded. In order to facilitate a comparison between all participating countries, a format was created to function as a lead for all authors. The format consists of two parts. Each contribution starts with a survey on the housing stock that has been built in that particular country since WW II. This survey includes data related to different building periods, followed by a description of the main typologies of the various apartment blocks and a description of the technologies that were used for the completion of these parts of the housing stock. This first part is concluded with relevant information on housing policy in order to sketch the legislative framework that was valid during the production and maintenance of these parts of the housing stock. Being aware of the universality of the poor quality of the post-war multifamily housing stock, the COST C16 action draws up an Europe-wide inventory of the shortcomings the participating countries were experiencing, and to set up a database of possible solutions to solve these.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
