A systematic approach is used to cover the many facets of terraced and townhouses – a style of building which has been in use since the Roman era and is still useful today. The whole range of this style of housing is covered from interior design and construction methods, to more social factors like the issues of parking and street configurations. Alongside over 150 diagrams and eighty photos, Avi Friedman creates a book which will be a valuable resource for all those involved in the planning, design and creation of terraced and town houses.

In this abundantly illustrated volume, Bernard Herman provides a history of urban dwellings and the people who built and lived in them in early America. In the eighteenth century, cities were constant objects of idealization, often viewed as the outward manifestations of an organized, civil society. As the physical objects that composed the largest portion of urban settings, town houses contained and signified different aspects of city life, argues Herman. Taking a material culture approach, Herman examines urban domestic buildings from Charleston, South Carolina, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, as well as those in English cities and towns, to better understand why people built the houses they did and how their homes informed everyday city life. Working with buildings and documentary sources as diverse as court cases and recipes, Herman interprets town houses as lived experience. Chapters consider an array of domestic spaces, including the merchant family's house, the servant's quarter, and the widow's dower. Herman demonstrates that city houses served as sites of power as well as complex and often conflicted artifacts mapping the everyday negotiations of social identity and the display of sociability.

A townhouse is a residence that many find combines the best amenities of a single–family home and a condominium. By definition, a townhouse is a home that is attached to adjacent houses, which sits upon land that you own. THE MODERN TOWNHOUSE will look at three types of town house projects that are increasingly popular in urban areas and close–in suburbia: 1) Renovation of existing town houses. This is a particularly popular activity in older, urban neighborhoods undergoing re–gentrification. Eighteenth and nineteenth century "shells" long in disrepair, are being gutted and totally modernized 2) Vacant lots, primarily in the inner cities, but also in close–in suburban neighborhoods where zoning restricts high rise housing, are being filled with four or five town houses that are built perpendicular to the street, usually in neighborhoods where the lot size would normally accommodate only one, detached house. This activity is in response to the increasing demand for urban housing where high land prices mandate multifamily housing solutions. 3) New, one–off townhouses, that are found primarily in wealthier neighborhoods where the high land cost can be recovered with a single, luxury town home. The book will be divided into these three categories and feature project from around the country including Baltimore, San Diego, San Francisco, Miami, and in smaller metropolitan areas.

Inner cities are experiencing a newed boom, the demand for 21st century living spaces in today's renaissance of urban centralization is on the rise. So for the past few years, many architects have been rediscovering and creatively reinterpreting the aestetic and functional potentials of townhouses. The modern buildings achieve the same functions on the scant inner city plot as their historic archetypes, but distinguish themselves using a contemporary architectural language. Some of the most spectacular projects reach considerable heights and extend the traditional concept of the townhouse to new dimensions. Projects showcased include: Mandeville Place in Philadelphia, USA (Richard Meier & Partners Architects), Housing in Durango, Spain (Dominique Perrault Architecte), River Terraces in Melbourne, Australia (Jackson Clements Burrows Architects), Tetris Apartments in Ljubljana, Slovenia (OFIS arhitekti), Didden Village in Rotterdam, The Netherlands (MVRDV).
