In Typology more than one hundred and fifty buildings are documented through floor plans, axonometric projections, recent color photographs, and halftones. The buildings, many of them relatively unknown, were chosen in order to provide a basis for looking at metropolitan design in the twentieth century, and they show the patterns and differences found in architecture from around the world. Included are essays that provide meaningful context for the buildings and examine how local governments and zoning practices guide architecture.

Named one of the Most Beautiful German Books 2013.

«La quantité d’informations rassemblées et remarquablement classées est impressionnante. On pourrait presque considérer ces ouvrages comme des guides de villes alternatifs, qui font porter un regard neuf sur des cités dont on croit déjà tout connaître telles que Paris, Rome ou New York, et invitent par ailleurs à découvrir la réalité sociale et économique qui se cache derrière ces types d’immeubles. … Un véritable must pour tous ceux les passionnés d’architecture urbaine.» A+, Pieter T’Jonck
