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.

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.
