Detached houses are considered primarily responsible for urban sprawl
and land consumption. At the same time they represent the ideal
residence for broad sections of society. From the different perspectives
of architects and social scientists, as well as photographer Henrich
Helfenstein, different detached house settlements were at the focus of
examination to find the solution for this aparent contradiction. Instead
of the often deplored detached house without identity, a surprisingly
multifaceted settlement reality with great potential for identification
discloses itself. This work sensibilizes the eye to the specific
qualities and unused potentials of the pheomenon and yields new insights
and perspectives for a sustainable development of urban landscapes in
architecture and urbanism.
