In the winter semester 09/10 more than 300 students at the TU Vienna examined the theme of density in housing in the framework of the studio for building construction. The results of this course, which was supervised by fourteen Austrian architects, are remarkable and will be presented in the publication “Housing Density” from Springer Verlag. Against the background of this book presentation, the TU Vienna Dept. of Building Construction in collaboration with the Az W is organising a discussion on the theme of density in housing.
