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:
Building Subjects, the fourth issue of Standpunkte Magazine, is a collaboration between the architect De Peter Yi, the art historian Nancy P. Lin, and the graphic design studios Normal and Some All None. The publication revolves around collective housing in China, an architectural challenge expressive of the country's ongoing negotiations between its rich history and undetermined future. The study combines typological research with the modes of the architectural manifesto by establishing an exchange between cultural-historical observations, the consideration of contemporary socio-economic pressures, and evolving architectural aspirations. Through a close reading of spaces from monumental utopian communes in Beijing to round earthen dwellings in the Fujian province, Building Subjects stages collective housing as a key to residential architecture in China. The publication is simultaneously inward and outward looking, and this duality is also reflected in its meticulously composed layout: documentary photography and detailed axonometric drawings are juxtaposed to establish a correspondence between old and new, between reality and projection.

Summary:
La question du logement de masse est au cœur de la réflexion urbanistique et architecturale des villes européennes. Elle a donné lieu à des réponses hétéroclites, proposant une grande diversité d’approche et de solutions. Dans ce cadre, Vienne et Francfort s’affirment comme les résultats les plus convaincants : le Hof et la Siedlung constituent ainsi deux modèles distincts et cohérents pour aborder des problématiques communes. Nous proposons ici de considérer ces deux modèles comme complémentaires d’un point de vue architectural et urbanistique, tant au niveau des choix qu’au niveau des résultats. Dans cette perspective, Vienne et Francfort sont les « polarités extrêmes » qui constituent des références exemplaires pour l’histoire du logement de masse en Europe. L’analyse applique une approche comparative qui vise à observer sans préjugés, de l’échelle urbaine à celle du logement, les résultats de ces deux alternatives. Les critères analytiques adoptés – densité, typologie du logement et morphologie urbaine, espaces extérieurs – peuvent être à leur tour utilisés pour aborder des questions cruciales à l’égard des discussions actuelles concernant le projet de logement. Le propos, loin de se limiter à la compréhension historique de ces expériences, considère ainsi les cas analysés en tant qu’organismes urbains appartenant à plein titre à la ville contemporaine, afin de relever l’actualité et de restituer la richesse des expériences architecturales de l’entre-deux-guerres, étudiée jusqu’à présent de façon fragmentaire. La version numérique enrichit le propos d’une vaste documentation iconographique, constituée d’un atlas de plans (14 projets sur 4 niveaux) redessinés à partir de documents originaux d’archives, qui montre pour la première fois les caractéristiques typo-morphologiques des complexes d’habitation.

Historique, exemplaire, l'aventure de "Kraftwerk" à Zurich s'avère, pour tous ceux qu'attirent d'autres manières de construire et d'habiter, une source de réflexion et d'inspiration. L'histoire commence en 1983 avec la parution du manifeste Bolo'bolo, qui milite pour un habitat autogéré d'un genre nouveau. Son utopiste et mystérieux auteur, P. M. (Hans Widmer), rallié par deux activistes, prend bientôt le pari de donner corps à cet idéal. Un second manifeste, dix ans et quelques concessions plus tard, commence l'une des expériences sociales et architecturales les plus passionnantes des dernières décennies. Finalement érigé en 2001, le premier bâtiment, Kraftwerk 1, réunit mixité sociale, loyers modérés, achats groupés, mutualisation des biens, fonds solidaire et dispositifs environnementaux : c'est un succès.

Rooted in the ambition to end slum living, and the ideals of those who would build a new society, "Municipal Dreams" looks at how the state’s duty to house its people decently became central to our politics. The book makes it clear why that legacy and its promise should be defended. Traversing the nation in this comprehensive social, political and architectural history of council housing, Boughton offers a tour of some of the best and most remarkable of our housing estates—some happily ordinary, some judged notorious. He asks us to understand their complex story and to rethink our prejudices.
