    "Progressive architecture must orientate itself on the scale of human needs"
    was the precept behind the clear approach taken by Roland Rainer. To mark his 100th birthday excerpts are being shown from his studies on anonymous architecture and the Puchenau project, a model example of dense low-rise development.
    A development of Roland Rainer's idea to build multi-storey courtyard houses as prototypes for compact housing in wood and concrete for the development of a residential quarter with an urban profile is reflected by the quadrangle housing/Team Habitat research project supported by Departure. The presentation shows alternative examples to the terraced house arranged in lines as a closed model of blanket urban development. A calm exterior and timeless design allow for a high quality of life with flexible floor plans. Even with its compact solutions for dense residential development the quadrangle housing concept provides high quality private outdoor space with patios and roof terraces.
