A study of PREVI after more than three decades since its formulation seeks not only to salvage the original construction along the lines of an 'archaeological' survey, which reclaims the authorial oeuvre hidden behind the constant interventions on the part of its occupants, but aims to call into question the idea of housing as a habitational solution, the role of the(...)

Summary:
Our living requirements reflect the condition of our society. Currently, there is a very large range of perceptibly different living requirements. The shared apartment, originally a youthful living model, is becoming an increasingly important concept for the elderly. But the single-resident apartment trend continues unabated, although there is a conscious movement towards spatial organization that includes contact possibilities. Community facilities such as workshops, kitchens or guest apartments and informal meeting places such as saunas and gardens give a residential project great added value. This is precisely where access ways are of particular importance, especially in low-budget residential construction. This publication documents and analyzes type variants in recent international examples and puts them in context with historical buildings featuring sheltering walkways built from 1920 to 1970.

His three Laws of Housing summarize the psychological, social and economic basis of his thesis: 1. When people have no control over, nor responsibility for, key decisions in the housing process, dwelling environments may become a barrier to personal fulfilment and a burden on the economy. 2. The important thing about housing is not what it is, but what it does in people's lives. 3. Deficiencies and imperfections in your housing are infinitely more tolerable if they are your responsibility than if they are somebody else's.

Many of the projects incorporate other uses, alongside residential ones in their programmes. This contributes both to density and intensity of use in respective environments, in turn creating new urban nuclei and providing a solution to strained resources. Fully illustrated with plans, diagrams and elevations, ‘Density Projects' includes works from the likes of; BIG, Jean Nouvel, Kohn Pedersen Fox, MGM, No.MAD, Stephen Holl, Studio Gang Architects and VMX architects.

Soviet mass housing is a contradictory but unique phenomenon. It is usually blamed for creating the most monotonous built environment in the history of mankind, thus constituting a symbol of individual suppression and dejection.

Summary:
Soviet mass housing is a contradictory but unique phenomenon. It is usually blamed for creating the most monotonous built environment in the history of mankind, thus constituting a symbol of individual suppression and dejection. The construction programme launched in the post-Stalinist era was the largest undertaken in modern architectural history worldwide. At the same time, Soviet mass housing fulfilled a colossal social role, providing tens of millions of families with their own apartments. It shaped the culture and everyday life of nearly all Soviet citizens. Yet, due to the very scale of construction, it managed to evolve into a complex world denoting an abundance of myths and secrets, achievements and failures. Soviet mass housing is indisputably intriguing, but nevertheless it is still neglected as a theme of research. Therefore, the time is ripe for a critical appraisal of this ambitious project. The authors aim to identify the most significant mass housing series designed and engineered from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok.

Summary:
For the past decade, the Los Angeles architect Michael Maltzan has designed multiunit housing in a city known for its proliferation of single-family residences. Working with the Skid Row Housing Trust, these projects advance new forms of supportive housing that address the services and infrastructures needed for their particular populations of inhabitants. For Maltzan, housing manifests an incredibly complex set of spatial problems—social, economic, political, typological, aesthetic, and urban—that recast architecture's role in framing the social relationships and individual challenges of everyday urban life. Social Transparency includes a recent lecture by Maltzan at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, as well as reflections from fellow practitioners—Amale Andraos, Hilary Sample, Florian Idenburg, and Níall McLaughlin—on this sustained engagement with housing and the city.

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.
