Building Types Online
What is it? Building Types Online contains 850 case studies and approximately 5000 architectural drawings as well as 2000 photographs of buildings. This tool will facilitate research on building typology and architectural design assignments. Thematic articles provide background information on individual building types or explain specific aspects such as lighting, acoustics, urban considerations, access types or planning processes. Users will be offered resources on building types based on seminal buildings of the past 30 years. Housing as one of the most frequent design tasks forms a large focus of the database.
