Résumé

Through recent examples by internationally renowned architects as Norisada Maeda, MVRDV, Atelier Tekuto, Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects and Sugiura Office, among others, this monographic work analyzes the difficulty of integrating new residential volumes into sites that are particularly narrow and challenging due to their situation and environment, and making them connect with the context through exemplary technical and formal solutions. In all of them, the facade concentrates the most interesting aspects of the project's composition and construction; it is the face of the building, a privileged view onto the exterior, which connects with the neighbouring buildings in order to weave the urban fabric and close the profile of the street.
