Summary:
Living in Los Angeles has always been equated with the suburban single-family home with a big backyard. But for decades, L.A. has also been the consummate laboratory for exceptional experiments in multifamily housing — dwellings centered on shared open space, from the central courtyard to the rooftop garden. In this volume, author Frances Anderton explores that(...)

Summary:
Living in Los Angeles has always been equated with the suburban single-family home with a big backyard. But for decades, L.A. has also been the consummate laboratory for exceptional experiments in multifamily housing — dwellings centered on shared open space, from the central courtyard to the rooftop garden. In this volume, author Frances Anderton explores that fascinating history— from the bungalow courts and apartment-hotels of the 1910s, through the development of garden apartments, to contemporary mid-rise "urban villages" and co-living spaces. It features the work of the Zwebells, R.M. Schindler, Richard Neutra, John Lautner, Ralph Vaughn, Koning Eizenberg, Sean Knibb, Michael Maltzan, Brooks + Scarpa, and many more. In a time of housing crisis, Frances Anderton makes the case that well-designed, equitable, connected living is tomorrow’s American dream.

Summary:
At the beginning of the economic crisis in 2007, housing became a central commodity in the short-circuit system of mortgages granted to private individuals and businesses. In the aftermath of the crisis, and in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, housing—as a right, in its most radical form—re-emerged due to local housing, migration, and health emergencies. In light of an(...)

Summary:
At the beginning of the economic crisis in 2007, housing became a central commodity in the short-circuit system of mortgages granted to private individuals and businesses. In the aftermath of the crisis, and in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic, housing—as a right, in its most radical form—re-emerged due to local housing, migration, and health emergencies. In light of an eclipse of a general discourse on housing, a new secular and international ethics arose, both foreign and superior to nation states. This book returns to a broader notion of housing: using metaphors of sanitary and salvific reinstatement, it retrieves case studies from the 1950s for re-conceptualizing the housing question in contemporary architecture and visual arts.

En analysant un échantillon d'immeubles de logements collectifs issus des trois grandes périodes du développement de la ville, la publication développe des scénarios visant à adapter ces typologies à un mode de vie convivial et mixte, fondé sur des principes de solidarité, d'hospitalité et de partage. À l'heure où la famille nucléaire n'est plus le modèle unique et où les frontières entre lieux de vie et de travail sont devenues poreuses, les architectes de l'agence Fagart & Fontana souhaitent contribuer à la réflexion sur la capacité de la ville à se renouveler sur elle-même, en faisant prendre conscience qu'il existe un territoire de projet à investir pour repenser le logement contemporain.

Summary:
Over the past 30 years, the district of Mãe Luíza in Brazil's northeastern city of Natal developed from a desolate favela into a functioning community. From the first humanitarian aid to construction of a gymnasium, this persistent process is outlined in short articles and essays in the second part of this illustrated volume. The documentation demonstrates how transformation was achieved step by step with the help of many, laying the groundwork for ongoing progress. Less crime, better education, and a fairer society – much has been accomplished and even more is possible for the future. A story by author Paulo Lins (“City of God”) tells the stirring tale of the establishment of the Brazilian favela Mãe Luíza. Fleeing drought and deadly heat, the people there fought for a piece of land to call their own, hoping for a better life. Thanks to their optimism and solidarity, their vision gradually took shape.

Cet ensemble homogène érigé sur plusieurs décennies, très tôt labellisé « Patrimoine du xxe siècle », ne manque pas d’arguments pour revendiquer le statut de chef-d’œuvre de l’architecture moderne. Pour autant, faute d’une protection suffisante, l’ensemble de la Butte-Rouge est la cible de projets qui, menés à terme, anéantiraient toute sa cohérence architecturale et paysagère et, avec, sa vocation première. Conçu comme un lieu de sauvegarde de l’histoire de la Butte-Rouge, ce livre monographique qui plaide en faveur d’une préservation fidèle du bâti, souligne avec acuité les limites de l’action publique contre les dégâts de la spéculation immobilière et la banalisation des héritages récents. À sa façon, il appelle à ce que les icônes du logement social et collectif soient considérées en France comme de dignes empreintes de notre histoire architecturale, à défendre et à vivre.

À partir d’œuvres produites depuis une vingtaine d’années environ (de Valérie Jouve, Mohamed Bourouissa, Martha Rosler, David Hammons, Nathanaël Abeille, Stefan Eichhorn, etc.), cet ouvrage propose une lecture des rapports entretenus entre art et logement social, plus spécifiquement autour des Grands Ensembles. Entre idéalisation et rejet, ces derniers condensent en effet depuis les années 1950 l’essentiel des questionnements sur la ville, sur l’habitat populaire et sur la banlieue en tant qu’espace périphérique.

The book then discusses reasons for the relative lack of contemporary mid-rise housing developments, including planning legislation, and the perception that it is a dull and uniform building type.

Our home is now in the city which is compacted and mixed up, which grows inwards and is renewed. We are returning to the historic city, to the modern city, to the post-industrial city, we are re-densifying the expansive city of the last decade. We are regenerating the narrow plots of the medieval urban grids, the 19th century urban extensions and the new-old cities of the 60s. We are returning to the built-up city driven by the need to save on resources, but this return cannot be a reluctant one. Density is Home echoes these types of city -dispersed, expansive, modern, the core of the city and the recycled city- through 37 projects on collective housing. 14 case studies have been extracted among them in order to analyze the desirable home.
