Summary:
Cette deuxième édition apporte au lecteur des éléments de réflexion et d’information actuels sur la conception et la construction des logements collectifs, dans le secteur social aussi bien qu’en promotion privée. L’un des apports majeurs de cette nouvelle édition est l’ouverture à la dimension européenne. Produites dans des contextes culturels, économiques, réglementaires, techniques encore très différents, ces opérations peuvent toutes contribuer à une réflexion générale. Autre nouveauté de cet ouvrage, la question de l’aménagement est plus développée, le logement restant un élément structurant de la ville. Le lotissement et la maison de ville, assimilés à des collectifs horizontaux, ont également fait leur apparition. Ainsi, à propos de la réhabilitation, la thématique du renouvellement urbain domine, au point de faire passer l’intervention sur le bâti en second plan. Enfin, les préoccupations environnementales, simplement évoquées dans la première édition, sont considérablement développées. Le propos est renforcé par de nombreux témoignages et la présentation de 21 opérations exemplaires, de taille et de vocabulaire architectural très divers, qui font de ce livre un outil indispensable.

Summary:
Parés d’un rose qui fait leur unité, les immeubles de la cité jardin de la Butte-Rouge à Châtenay-Malabry se découpent sur le paysage verdoyant de la forêt de Verrières. 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.

Summary:
Set within the cultural and political world of Vienna from the fin-de siecle to the present day, this book provides an insightful analysis of the city's extraordinarily rich architectural tradition. Beginning with Wagner’s polemical manifesto, ''Moderne Architektur'', it stresses the importance of the fraught and highly polarized cultural politics that engulfed Vienna for most of the twentieth century and ultimately produced much of what is modern in every field of culture and science. The book also places architectural history within the context of the political economy that has shaped Vienna and highlights the relatively unknown tradition of Viennese social housing, initiated by social democratic Red Vienna in the 1920s. Today, 60% of Vienna’s population lives in the most successful social housing in the world.

In 2018 Urbanarium held an international design competition to develop and present exciting options for addressing Metro Vancouver’s unprecedented housing affordability crisis and social health challenges with outstanding design and social innovation. This document contains both the insight and policy recommendations gathered from the various competition entries for adding innovative density to existing single-family zones. Included are the winning projects located in one of four sites in Vancouver, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby and Surrey. Results from this competition inform the “Policy Impact Proposal,” suggesting five small shifts in current zoning policy that can contribute to housing affordability and vibrancy in communities, while maintaining existing character.

Led by Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellow Marc de La Bruyère and Claire Weisz founding principal of WXY Architecture Students of the Yale School of Architecture sought to investigate and propose history-conscious proposals for housing in Edmonton, Canada, a city poised for future economic growth. The students assessed how climate, economic forces, and urban contexts impacted the composition of housing typologies over time in various contexts and then focused on “Gateway Sites” in Edmonton. The students created proposals that utilized innovative housing schemes and applied socially responsible real estate development to form solutions for local ecological, social, and marketing challenges.

Summary:
How a form of multifamily housing with idealistic roots became a ubiquitous model promoted by both public entities and private developers. Eminent historian Joshua Freeman rescues garden apartments—typically low-rise multifamily residences that enclose or are surrounded by landscaped gardens—from their invisibility in the American landscape. He details their outsized influence on housing policy and social policy as they helped upgrade living standards for working people. Inspired by the architectural innovations and socialist politics of British garden cities, Red Vienna, and German modernist housing in the 1920s, these large, centrally managed projects were mostly not public housing, but their capitalist developers worked with governments to keep down rents. The results were often relatively small apartments and large communal spaces, aimed at fostering actual American community.

The Austrian Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale focuses on housing. Curators Michael Obrist, Sabine Pollak, and Lorenzo Romito contrast the top-down model of social housing construction in Vienna with the bottom-up model of self-organization in Rome’s civil society. What can a system organized at state or municipal level learn from an approach based on informal activism, and vice versa? Could a synthesis of the two models perhaps be a starting point for overcoming the acute lack of affordable housing in our cities? And what does good housing and a better life involve today anyway? In the accompanying issue of ARCH+, the developments in Vienna and Rome are discussed in essays, discussion formats, and numerous infographics.
