Antonino Saggio, Louis Sauer the architect of Low Rise High Density Housing English 2012, italian 1988

http://www.lulu.com/ITools Through research on different aspects of housing typologies, habitation experience, and developmental economics, Louis Sauer developed architectural systems for low-rise high-density housing. This book presents the major ideas and principles of Sauer architecture and explores his work in Society Hill (Philadelphia) where his many exemplary projects are built. These have become landmarks for the City and for the lovers of contemporary architecture. The stature of his architecture, therefore, is one of a great innovator. Although his contemporaries did not immediately understand Sauer’s design strength and originality, his work is now recognized for its architectural intelligence, usefulness and beauty. Antonino Saggio is currently the coordinator of the PhD program in Architectural Design and Theory in the Dipartimento of Architettura e Progetto. He is the founder of the book series "The IT Revolution in Architecture" (Birkhäuser and Edilstampa) and he lectures worldwide
