In recent decades tens of thousands of dwellings have been constructed following the basic principles of open building. These projects have frequently developed in relative isolation, with inadequate access to the growing international and cross-disciplinary body of experience and expertise of open building. This book, the result of a CIB Task Group addressing 'Open Building Implementation', provides a state-of-the-art review of residential open building, fundamental principles, recent developments, and international coverage of current projects on both the public and private arena.
