Resumen de Conjuntos de vivienda unifamiliar. Lo único-unido. La experiencia de Utzon
The 1950's is an important period for Denmark because a political, social, and economical maturity is achieved by consolidating a "state of wellbeing." In the architecture field, this translates into a relevant fact: the demand for proposals. There is an evident response from architects. A series of different projects are developed, all of which are of a high quality constructive creation, in the building-nature relationship and in their capacity for contact with "life."

Three basic themes are analyzed in this thesis, the three current and urgent:
The house, with all its middle class influence, in this case it is considered as a micro cosmos; auto adjustable space in nature, heterogeneous and individual.
This natural characteristic (of a small world,) is never sacrificed, it does not yield to the compound's conditions (although always aware that it is part of it.) The domestic environment, reminiscing, fantasizing, and sensations are the elements that are to be used.
The residential neighborhood is at present, diverse, peripheral, suburban, and at the end of the first decades of the century, a development model in Denmark and one
