Summary:
Construire un trois-pièces pour moins d’un million d’anciens francs (environ 23 000 €). Tel est l’objectif de l’opération Million lancée en France en 1954 par le gouvernement ; la crise du logement est alors à son apogée. L’agence de Georges Candilis, Alexis Josic et Shadrach Woods remporte le concours organisé l’année suivante et construira près de 4 300 logements sur vingt-huit sites. Tour à tour enquête et plaidoyer, l’ouvrage de Korinna Zinovia Weber relate cet épisode majeur et méconnu de la construction des années d’après-guerre et milite pour que les grands ensembles soient reconnus en tant que patrimoine architectural. Que reste-t-il de l’opération Million soixante-dix ans après sa mise en oeuvre ? Partant du terrain, l’autrice dresse un état des lieux, fait le relevé des bâtiments, ausculte leur matérialité, retrace leurs transformations successives : rénovations plus ou moins lourdes, démolitions partielles ou totales. Elle revient sur la genèse de l’opération et souligne la pertinence des choix architecturaux d’origine : organisation des bâtiments, typologie des logements, innovations constructives. Sensible et engagée, Korinna Zinovia Weber nous conduit au cœur de l’opération Million à la rencontre de toutes ses parties prenantes, sans oublier les habitants mobilisés pour sauvegarder leurs lieux de vie face aux intérêts financiers et politiques. Dénuée de tout fétichisme pour l’architecture moderne, l’autrice construit une connaissance utile et opératoire sur les grands ensembles, et nous invite à réapprendre à les transformer et à les habiter dans le contexte de ce premier quart du XXIe siècle confronté à une double crise, du logement et du climat.

Summary:
Last 2007 La Casa Encendida organised the Sueño de Casa Propia (Dream of a Home of One’s Own) exhibition, curated by María Inés Rodríguez, in which a series of reflections on housing by artists, designers and architects served as the basis for an analysis of how different contexts produce different strategies for resolving the issue of access to housing. Parallel to the exhibition, a seminar entitled Housing and Domestic Space in the 21st Century was organised. Coordinated by Juan Herreros, an architect and lecturer at the Madrid University School of Architecture, the seminar brought together a group of intellectuals from both Spain and abroad for discussions on this theme. The ultimate aim of the seminar was to raise awareness about architecture’s potential role in the current and evident transformation of lifestyles. With the collaboration of: Raúl Cárdenas, María Auxiliadora Gálvez, Vicente Guallart, Hans-Walter Müller, Philippe Rahm, Alejandro Aravena, Robert Kronenburg, Colin Davies and Enric Ruiz-Geli.
