Usually two to three storeys high and with a garden at the back, they formed the traditional urban block. In Brussels, this bourgeois form of housing took on a particularly varied and inspiring form ? including the well-known Art Nouveau residences ? and forms the DNA of the city to this day. This publication analyses 100 selected examples illustrating the emergence of the terraced house and its further development in other forms of housing. The result is a broad panorama and a history of the architecture and development of the city of Brussels with its particularly heterogenous cityscape. With a photo essay by the well-known Belgian photographer Maxime Delvaux All plans have been drawn in standard scales especially for the publication An atlas of exemplary historical and contemporary housing typologies.
