Summary:
Affordable housing is an enduring political challenge. Cities have endeavored to set international standards for this important field of architecture since the 1920s. Planners must work within a socially motivated tradition to find exemplary solutions both at the political and architectural level. This building catalogue documents over 130 residential buildings dedicated to affordable housing. It presents floor plans, large photos, key data, and clear diagrams, providing a comprehensive overview of the solutions being tested today. The publication is rounded off with ten affordable housing concepts that were designed as part of the ''Housing for All'' competition, organized by the Frankfurt Department of Planning and Housing, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, and ABG Frankfurt Holding. Renowned architecture practices based in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and France were invited to submit design concepts for building sites in the Hilgenfeld area of Frankfurt. These concepts will reignite the contemporary discourse on affordable housing – in Frankfurt and beyond.

Summary:
Throughout the twentieth century, housing displays have proven to be a singular genre of architectural and design exhibitions. By crossing geographies and adopting multiple scales of observation – from domestic space to urban visions – this volume investigates a set of unexplored events devoted to housing and dwelling, organised by technical, professional, cultural or governmental institutions from the interwar years to the Cold War. The book offers a first critical assessment of twentieth-century housing exhibits and explores the role of exhibitions in the codification of notions of domesticity, social models, policies, and architectural and urban discourse. At the intersection of housing studies and the history of exhibitions, ''The Housing Project'' not only offers a novel angle on architectural history but also enriches scholarly perspectives in urban studies, cultural and media history, design, and consumption studies.

Summary:
The book examines the people, places, and policies that have helped make New York livable, from early experiments by housing reformers and the innovative public-private solutions of the 1970s and 1980s to today’s professionalized affordable housing industry. More than two dozen leading scholars tell the story of key figures of the era, including Fiorello LaGuardia, Robert Moses, Jane Jacobs, and Ed Koch. Over twenty-five individual housing complexes are profiled, including Queensbridge Houses, America’s largest public housing complex; Stuyvesant Town; Co-op City; and recent additions like Via Verde. Plans, models, archival photos, and newly commissioned portraits of buildings and tenants put the efforts of the past century into social, political, and cultural context and look ahead to future prospects for below-market subsidized housing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Summary:
Housing speaks directly to the challenges that define our times: social inequality, ecological crisis, displacement, asylum, migration and privatization. Framing the neo-liberal context as a defining condition of contemporary housing, International Case Studies consists of two parts: a series of essays by authors from architecture, anthropology, economy and literature, and an “atlas” of global housing that takes neo-liberalism as its starting point. The essays shed light on the challenges and conflicts of contemporary housing production from Andrew Herscher’s research on the politics of “blight” in Detroit to Justin McGuirk’s text on domesticity as data and universal housing questions eclipse by the “Internet of Things.” Conceptualized and compiled by architectural critic-historian Anne Kockelkorn and Columbia professor Reinhold Martin, the illustrated “atlas” presents 33 housing examples rarely seen together and invites readers to think of housing as an unstable constellation evolving within the power relations of territorial processes.
