Dutch term or phrase: gestapelde woningbouw
Geen context helaas! Ditmaal een vaknaam van de bouwkundige opleidingen (Hogeschool Rotterdam). Volledige naam is "Ontwerp gestapelde woningbouw". Anyone? TIA!

stacked flats


Explanation:
Gestapelde woningbouw is een mooi woord voor flatgebouwen, d.w.z. waarbij elke bouwlaag een woninglaag bevat.

Zegt niets over de hoogte van een gebouw, maar wel over de manier waarop het is opgebouwd.

De term is in de bouwwereld in Nederland heel gangbaar, maar ik bijv. Engeland weer niet.

agree  Saskia Steur: only with stacked housing, not construction, het gaat om het ontwerp, niet om het bouwen zelf
