Summary:
Preservation is ordinarily reserved for architecture that is unique. So how would we go about preserving buildings that are utterly generic? Such is the case with Belyayevo, an ordinary residential district in Moscow.

Summary:
Preservation is ordinarily reserved for architecture that is unique. So how would we go about preserving buildings that are utterly generic? Such is the case with Belyayevo, an ordinary residential district in Moscow. Belyayevo is a typical microrayon – the standardised neighbourhood system that successive Soviet regimes laid out across the USSR in what was the most expansive programme of industrialised construction the world has ever seen. Belyayevo’s buildings, and the desolate spaces between them, are identical to thousands of others, but is it different? Kuba Snopek argues that it is. Home to many of the artists of the Moscow Conceptualism school, the place was written into the character of their art. Snopek argues that this intangible heritage is the key to saving a neighbourhood many feel has had its day. But as Russia comes to terms with ist Soviet legacy, will such arguments fall on deaf ears?

This book contains a selection of 83 collective housing works carried out in Spain between 1929 and 1992. It offers a detailed version of the residence projected in Spain between the Barcelona International Exhibition of 1929 and the Universal Exhibition of Seville in 1992. Two particularly significant dates, two points of inflection in architectural thought: the enthronement and the epilogue of modernity. It contains plans of all buildings redrawn and with different scales depending on whether it is the urban implementation, the definition of the block or the description of the types, with photos of the time and cards with the main data of each project and its Author. The research process reconstructs the evolution of the project to extract its main values as a tool for the city and contemporary housing.

Summary:
In the 1920s, an unprecedented program of architectural and cultural renewal was established in the German city of Frankfurt am Main. This scheme became inscribed in cultural history under the name ''The New Frankfurt.'' As part of the housing and urban development initiative decided in 1925, more than 10,000 new residential units were planned. The Building Ministry’s architects, recruited from home and abroad, created pioneering work in many areas. Examples include the typification of family-oriented flats, plans for affordable apartments for those on low incomes, the first standard kitchen, the industrial prefabrication of building shells, the construction of schools designed around children’s needs, and integrated urban and green planning. In this book, four essays delve into the cultural background of the scheme and provide illuminating insights into the context of the work of its many actors.

Tandis que les expériences collectives fleurissent en France et dans le reste de l'Europe, l'habitat partagé suscite aujourd'hui un intérêt grandissant. 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.

La cohabitation se diffuse aujourd'hui et ne se résume pas seulement à la colocation étudiante. Mais vivre avec un tiers, sans lien amoureux, est inhabituel et implique de trouver un modus vivendi, la "bonne distance", la "familiarité sans intrusion". Des propositions spatiales spécifiques, qui réinterrogent aussi la manière de concevoir le logement contemporain, doivent être mises en place. A côté de l'aménagement bricolé dans un logement existant, des lieux pensés pour organiser la cohabitation sont apparus ces dernières années.
