You may recall myself and Rob giving a presentation on the 'Immeuble 'Nid d'abeille' in Casablanca by Candilis and Woods. Below you will find three projects in different regions, climates and cultural backgrounds that show surprisingly strong similarities: High density housing projects with limited outdoor terrace space. At risk of being slightly critical of each of these projects I wonder about the quality of space beneath each of the terraces. Something to be mindful of when re-creating the 'terrace'.
