Complexes et hybrides: nous pouvons caractériser par ces deux termes une grande partie des logements collectifs conçus dans le cadre de concours organisés en Suisse entre 2005 et 2015. Ceci a certainement à voir avec le discours actuel sur la densité et le «construire la ville en ville», une orientation qui implique de la part des architectes un travail fin avec des formes hybrides, issues souvent de la prise en compte de situations contradictoires et de valeurs contraires, telles que construire et préserver la nature. Soulignons, par ailleurs, l’intérêt des architectes contemporains pour des solutions complexes, contenant plusieurs niveaux de signification ; attitude dont on fait l’hypothèse qu’elle s’ancre dans les postulats critiques des années 1960 et 1970, en référence notamment aux «stratégies de coexistence» de l’historien Colin Rowe et au phénomène du «à la fois» théorisé par l’architecte Robert Venturi. Abondamment illustré, cet ouvrage présente l’analyse de près d’une quarantaine de projets de concours de logements collectifs en Suisse de 2005 à 2015, faisant notamment ressortir un véritable revival des immeubles à cour et des formes non dictées par les règles de la composition, d’inspiration souvent organique. Les projets ici analysés témoignent aussi du fait qu’il persiste une réflexion sur les modes de vie et la qualité des espaces domestiques – menée souvent de concert avec les coopératives de logement qui demeurent les maîtres d’ouvrage majoritaires – avec l’émergence de certains dispositifs inédits comme le «lieu à manger», qui devient de nos jours une véritable centralité dans le logement.

Summary:
Paradoxically, the historical legacy of Korean housing is both heroic and mundane. Until recently, the nation’s rapid urbanisation fuelled the creation of new regions of high-density dwellings, while cycles of urban renewal continue to push the radical disjunction between new and historical fabrics. Yet the ongoing impasse between developmental pressures and design(...)

Summary:
Paradoxically, the historical legacy of Korean housing is both heroic and mundane. Until recently, the nation’s rapid urbanisation fuelled the creation of new regions of high-density dwellings, while cycles of urban renewal continue to push the radical disjunction between new and historical fabrics. Yet the ongoing impasse between developmental pressures and design progress has reduced housing to its basic elements. A current wave of architects has begun formulating new, efficient syntaxes with nuanced social qualities. While the works in this volume represent unique solutions, what we can learn from their innovations goes far further, towards making conscious typological advances.

In 1931, in response to the Great Depression and subsequent collapse of the building industry, Martin Wagner (1885–1957), then head of planning for Berlin, formulated plans for an adaptable micro-house called “the growing house.” Working with Egon Eiermann, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Erich Mendelssohn, Hans Poelzig and Hans Scharoun, the growing house was(...)

Summary:
In 1931, in response to the Great Depression and subsequent collapse of the building industry, Martin Wagner (1885–1957), then head of planning for Berlin, formulated plans for an adaptable micro-house called “the growing house.” Working with Egon Eiermann, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Hilberseimer, Erich Mendelssohn, Hans Poelzig and Hans Scharoun, the growing house was designed to be modified with the changing socioeconomic circumstances of its inhabitants, providing only what was necessary and expedient. Wagner’s coruscating foreword outlining his proposals for a new social, technical and economic fabric shifting the dwelling to the center of the world is published here for the first time. Historical and contemporary black-and-white and color illustrations, drawings, plans and photographs of the prototype are accompanied by commentary from Franziska Bollerey, Ludovica Scarpa, Tom Avermaete and Tatjana Schneider, demonstrating that the growing house is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago.

Ces trois chantiers très différents, racontés par deux architectes et le maire de Beaumont, ont comme point commun d'associer les futurs locataires à la réinvention du logement social. Ces projets novateurs sont la preuve qu'une autre façon de penser et de construire l'habitat social et collectif en Fance est possible, avec et pour les habitants, en prenant en compte la géographie et l'histoire du lieu. Ainsi se crée la ville.

Summary:
Christine Hunter looks at how legal, cultural, and technological standards have developed, and examines current criteria for a "minimum standard" family home, in three possible forms: freestanding house, attached house, and apartment. She discusses interior spaces, connections to the immediate outdoors, mechanical and plumbing connections, and connections to society. She emphasizes the varied and often conflicting environmental concerns, and examines how homes are grouped and combined with other building types and open spaces into neighborhoods.

Summary:
Part architecture, part history, and part anthropology, this encyclopedic book limns the story of housing around the world from the pre-urban dwellings of nomadic, semi-nomadic, and sedentary agricultural societies to the present. Ancient urban dwellings were inward-looking, ranged around a courtyard. Until fairly recently, these dwelling types survived in indigenous urban house forms in the Islamic world, India, China, and the Iberian peninsula and Latin America. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, however, outward-looking house forms replaced the ancient form in most of Europe and the New World. In the Middle Ages houses served both as homes and as places of work, but gradually the domestic and business lives of the inhabitants became separate. In the wake of the Industrial Revolution, profound changes in the residential development of the western world occurred: housing became segregated along socioeconomic lines and dwelling types polarized, with low-density, single-family houses at one extreme, and tall, high-density, multifamily tenements and apartments at the other. Side effects of America’s automobile-intensive suburban dream housing include inefficient land use, pollution, and urban decay. "6,000 Years of Housing" chronicles how this came about, and suggests solutions based on a rich variety of historical precedents.
