Abstract

The article discusses a new book called "Housing Atlas: Europe 20th Century," which offers a comprehensive survey of significant housing projects from the 20th century. The book is praised for its incisive graphic clarity and innovative spatial ideas. However, the author criticizes the book for not including any projects with a named female architect as a lead designer, highlighting the need for a more inclusive and diverse approach to architectural history. Despite this omission, the book is still considered a valuable resource for those interested in the topic. [Extracted from the article]
