Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste.

Le logement en France est-il plus cher, moins bien conçu, moins bien construit, moins bien fini qu’ailleurs en Europe ? Un seul OUI serait caricatural et trop généraliste. Pourtant, les comparaisons fréquentes apportées par les architectes français travaillant à l’étranger et les architectes étrangers impliqués dans des projets français se rejoignent sur certains points. C’est pour en vérifier la pertinence et pour pousser plus loin la réflexion que, pour la deuxième année consécutive, après Housing Platform 1, à l’initiative d’ING Real Estate Development France avec le soutien du Pavillon de l’Arsenal, rejoint en 2009 par la Fédération des Promoteurs Constructeurs d’Île-de-France, s’est tenue Housing Platform 2. Cette manifestation qui se déroulait le 23 novembre 2009 a réuni autour de cinq tables rondes une soixantaine de professionnels, parmi lesquels des aménageurs, des maîtres d’ouvrage, des promoteurs, des architectes, des entreprises, des ingénieurs, des économistes...

Housing Density Housing construction for the greatest number is an indicator of the social character of a society. Most people want to live in a single-family house. Is it possible to realize the qualities of single-family housing in high-density construction?

Summary:
Housing Density Housing construction for the greatest number is an indicator of the social character of a society. Most people want to live in a single-family house. Is it possible to realize the qualities of single-family housing in high-density construction? Almost 400 students of the Vienna University of Technology worked on this topic in the course of a design studio and – supervised by fourteen renowned Austrian architects – developed housing construction projects of various densities and environments. Selected works indicate the direction, but also the limits (of growth). With contributions by Silvia Boday, Marlies Breuss, Eva Ceška, Maria Flöckner, Susanne Fritzer, Katharina Fröch, Kinayeh Geiswinkler-Aziz, Gerda Maria Gerner, Feria Gharakhanzadeh, Adele Gindlstrasser, Ulrike Hausdorf, Franziska Orso, Ursula Schneider and Martina Schöberl.Two interviews with Harry Glück and Roland Rainer, conducted by Gerhard Steixner and Maria Welzig, introduce this topic to the reader by documenting contrasting concepts of horizontal and vertical densification in housing construction.

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.

Summary:
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.

Summary:
Forecolosed: Rehousing the American Dream is an exploration of new architectural possibilities for American cities and suburbs in the aftermath of the recent foreclosure crisis in the United States. During the summer of 2011, five interdisciplinary teams of architects, urban planners, ecologists, engineers and landscape designers were enlisted by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and MoMA PS1 to envision new housing infrastructures that could catalyze urban transformation, particularly in the country’s suburbs. Drawing on ideas proposed in The Buell Hypothesis, a research publication prepared by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University, each team focused on a specific location within a “megaregion” to come up with inventive solutions for the future of housing and cities. This publication presents each of these proposals (exhibited at MoMA in Spring 2012) in detail, through photographs, drawings and renderings as well as interviews with the team leaders. Foreclosedexamines the relationship between land, infrastructure and urban form, exploring potential futures for America’s extended metropolises.

Summary:
Addressing East Asia’s rapid urban transformation, The Vertical Village looks at radical alternatives to the familiar standardized block architecture that has eradicated low-rise, “lighter” varieties of architecture, such as the Hutong in Beijing, Tokyo’s wooden house and the villages of Singapore. These “urban villages” have fostered a connected community living instead of isolating citizens in tower blocks. This volume, the latest publication from The Why Factory, attempts to reconcile the two models, proposing a contemporary “vertical village” that restores neighborhood life to East Asian--and perhaps western--civic centers. It features innovative designs for high-rise structures, detailed case studies for Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Djakarta, Seoul and Bangkok, plus interviews with Winy Maas, Alfredo Brillemburg, Hubert Klumpner, Lieven De Cauter, Peter Trummer and families living in Taipei (where the originating Why Factory exhibition was held).

Summary:
Qu’ont en commun une personne âgée dans un Ehpad, une personne handicapée dans un établissement, un sans-abri dans un foyer d’urgence, un demandeur d’asile dans un centre spécialisé ou encore un sans-papiers dans un hôtel payé par l’État ? Ils bénéficient d’un hébergement qui, s’il s’organise selon des modalités différentes, ne les place pas moins, tous, aux frontières du logement ordinaire. Quels sont ces dispositifs d’hébergement et comment s’inscrivent-ils dans la politique du logement ? Qui en sont les usagers ? Comment la crise liée au Covid-19 a-t-elle contribué à mettre en avant la gravité d’un sujet qui pouvait paraître marginal à la fin du XXe siècle ? Autant de questionnements auxquels Julien Damon apporte des réponses précises, décryptant des données souvent ardues, au cours de ce qui s’apparente à un éclairant périple dans un pan singulier de l’action publique.

Summary:
From his early years in Germany to the end of his life in the United States, collective housing has been very present in the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The research carried out by Fernando Casqueiro, Associate Professor at ETSAMadrid, compiles, for the first time, the entire collection of collective housing projects signed by the master. Each work has been analysed, redrawn, and compared on the same parameters. The result is a voyage through the creation and consolidation of a typology, culminating in the seminal works 860-880 Lake Shore Drive and Lafayette Pavilion. The collection is made up of 36 projects, built or only designed, that cover Mies' life, his relationship with his clients and the influence of his collaborators.

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.
