87-page project report which describes a new form of apartment house, intended for families who own their apartments. The aim of the project was to propose a new kind of apartment which has life and is personal to the people who inhabit them. Chapter II deals with seventeen fundamental assumptions about the process which underlie the building industry and control the form of apartment houses. Concluding that houses produced on the basis of these assumptions fail to meet successfully human and personal, despite some efforts to improve on some of them, seventeen new assumptions create one-to-one counter proposals., and the basis for a new form of apartment house. Chapter III describes a step-by-step process which embodies the seventeen new assumptions. This process covers the totality of the production, including the local neighborhood as its starting point. It also includes the people who will occupy the apartment house, and the architect-builder who steers and guides the process. Chapter IV examines the implementation aspects of the process.
