UNUSUAL APARTMENTS OF “LOTUS” HOUSES - AN ALTERNATIVE TO PANEL HOUSING CONSTRUCTION

€ 9,18

The book shows that if multi-storey houses are designed and built in a three-beam system of coordinates rather than the Cartesian system, and the flat walls are replaced by curvilinear in plan, then the consumption of reinforced concrete per square meter of area can be drastically reduced. These savings can be so significant that you can buy almost one more room for the same money.

At the same time, however, the apartments are unusual. Shown are all the possible aspects that arise from this transformation in architecture, construction, interiors, and technology. The houses in the three-beam coordinate system with curvilinear walls are called "Lotus". The purpose of the book is to show the public that apartments with rectangular rooms are not the only and maybe not the best solution for high-rise mass industrial construction.
