Features: The framework of this book is composed of an overview of collective residential communities → planning stage → design philosophy → case studies. Unlike independent houses designed specifically for a particular family, the design of collective residential communities is a major undertaking in building a neighborhood and a society. Therefore, the conditions determined in the planning stage are quite extensive, and the design itself is not limited to the scope of architecture but also involves various technical aspects such as civil engineering, landscape design, and equipment. This book strives to explain the series of procedures for planning and design in a concise manner, making it easier for future planners and designers of collective residential communities to grasp the necessary foundational knowledge. The book is intended for architects and designers involved in building planning and architectural design, as well as students and faculty in related fields, and those seeking to obtain a registered architect qualification.
