Mikan: Save the Danchi: Mass Estates, a Project of the Future - Paperback

by Mikan (Artist)

In the decades following World War II, large residential developments like the Japanese "Danchi" became enormously popular, providing modern, affordable living space for rapidly growing populations. Now many are threatened by vacancy, decay and demolition. Mikan, a Japanese-French team of architects, shows how easily these mass developments can be converted for contemporary reuse and eco-efficiency.
