Das Terrassenhaus als grüne Alternative Das Terrassenhaus entspricht als Bautyp modernen Wohnbau-Anforderungen: es ist ökonomisch und bietet bei geringem Bodenverbrauch hohen Wohnkomfort mit Terrasse und Garten. Populär geworden mit den sozialen Bewegungen in den 1960er-Jahren, geriet es mit der fortschreitenden Erosion der Idee von Gesellschaft wieder in Vergessenheit und wurde gar als Bausünde abqualifiziert. Doch die anhaltende Bewohnerzufriedenheit und die ökologischen Vorteile eines begrünten Hauses machen das Terrassenhaus mehr denn je attraktiv. Die im Buch untersuchten Bauten sind heute nicht nur architektonische Ikonen; man kann auch von ihnen immer noch lernen, was der Wohnungsbau heute braucht. Ein Vertreter dieses Bautyps war Harry Glück, dessen Plädoyer für die grüne Stadt hier in Teilen abgedruckt wird. <UL> <LI>Das Terrassenhaus als grüne Alternative zur Rasterstadt </LI> <LI>Untersuchung von 12 Beispielen aus Europa und Überblick 20.

Stepped terraced houses as alternative The stepped terraced house is a type of building that meets modern housing requirements: it is economical and offers ample living space with the comfort of terrace and garden.
