Book Synopsis A History of Collective Living by : Susanne Schmid
Download or read book A History of Collective Living written by Susanne Schmid and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book tells the story of communal living from about 1850 until today. Three motives of sharing - the economic, political and social intention - divide the residential objects, which are investigated in a historical analysis and allocated to nine development phases. The author investigates and compares different forms of housing and the way they developed from their origins until today; she illustrates how everyday shared living and the degrees of privacy in housing are practiced in Europe. Owing to its comprehensive documentation, the analysis of typologies, layout plans, and user and expert interviews, the book can also be considered to be a lexicon or handbook on communal living. A detailed overview that is unique in this form.
Book Synopsis More than Housing by : Margrit Hugentobler
Download or read book More than Housing written by Margrit Hugentobler and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Arealentwicklung ‚mehr als wohnen' im Zürcher Norden ist ein Leuchtturmprojekt für nachhaltiges genossenschaftliches Wohnen. Die dreizehn Neubauten bieten Wohn- und Arbeitsraum für mehr als 1100 Menschen, sie weisen den Weg für künftiges urbanes Zusammenleben: Neben neuen Typologien für Familien-, Alters-, und Cluster-Wohnungen bietet dieser Stadtbaustein umfangreiche Serviceangebote wie ein Gästehaus, ein Restaurant und eine Mobilitätsstation. Darüber hinaus experimentieren die Planer mit neuen Baumaterialien und innovativen energetischen Konzepten. Eine Initiative von 30 Zürcher Wohnbaugenossenschaften hat seit 2007 das Projekt als Innovationsplattform entwickelt. Im Zentrum des Planungsprozesses steht der Dialog zwischen den Beteiligten. Zudem stellt sich das Projekt den drängenden Aufgaben, jenseits der bekannten Energielabel energie- und ressourcenschonend zu bauen und zu wohnen. Das Buch verbindet die Elemente eines Architekturbuchs mit sozialwissenschaftlichen Analysen: Eine Plansammlung vom Masterplan über Wohnungsgrundrisse bis hin zu ausgewählten Details dokumentiert die realisierten Bauten. Darüber hinaus erläutern die beteiligten Architekten, Fachplaner, Genossenschaftler und Fachleute ihre Erfahrungen und geben Einblick in die genossenschaftlichen und planerischen Hintergründe. Sie zeigen, wie sich diese vorbildliche Arealentwicklung in den Diskurs und die Realität des aktuellen Städtebaus einordnet. Darüber hinaus diskutieren sie, wie durch städtebauliche Planung eine zukunftsfähige Stadtentwicklung möglich ist.
Book Synopsis Urban Visions by : Carmen Díez Medina
Download or read book Urban Visions written by Carmen Díez Medina and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a useful reference in the field of urbanism. It explains how the contemporary city and landscape have been shaped by certain twentieth century visions that have carried over into the twenty-first century. Aimed at both students and professionals, this collection of essays on diverse subjects and cases does not attempt to establish universal interpretations; it rather highlights some outstanding episodes that help us understand why the planning culture has given way to other forms of urbanism, from urban design to strategic urbanism or landscape urbanism. Compared with global interpretations of urbanism based on socioeconomic history or architectural historiography, Urban Visions. From Planning Culture to Landscape Urbanism, aims to present the discipline couched in international contemporary debate and adopt a historic and comparative perspective. The book’s contents pertain equally to other related disciplines, such as architecture, urban history, urban design, landscape architecture and geography. Foreword by Rafael Moneo.
Book Synopsis Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges by : Manuel Jorge Rodrigues Couceiro da Costa
Download or read book Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges written by Manuel Jorge Rodrigues Couceiro da Costa and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 1665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The escalating interdependecy of nations drives global geopolitics to shift ever more quickly. Societies seem unable to control any change that affects their cities, whether positively or negatively. Challenges are global, but solutions need to be implemented locally. How can architectural research contribute to the future of our changing society? How has it contributed in the past? The theme of the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference, “Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges”, was set to address these questions. This book, Architectural Research Addressing Societal Challenges, includes reviewed papers presented in June 2016, at the 10th EAAE/ARCC International Conference, which was held at the facilities of the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Lisbon. The papers have been further divided into the following five sub-themes: a Changing Society; In Transit – Global Migration; Renaturalization of the City; Emerging Fields of Architectural Practice; and Research on Architectural Education. The EAAE/ARCC International Conference, held under the aegis of the EAAE and of the ARCC, is a conference organized every other year, in collaboration with one of the member schools/ universities of those associations, alternatively in North America or in Europe.
Book Synopsis Urban Phantasmagorias by : Iulia Stătică
Download or read book Urban Phantasmagorias written by Iulia Stătică and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Phantasmagorias examines the legacies of socialist housing in the city of Bucharest during the period of communist rule in Romania. The book explores the manner in which the socialist state reconfigured the city through concrete acts of demolition and construction, as well as indirectly through legal frameworks aimed at the regulation of women’s reproductive agency, in an attempt to materialize its idea of modernity. It follows the effects of this state agenda with a focus on the period between 1965 and 1989 through an investigation of the transformations, representations, meanings, and uses of domestic spaces. The book draws on Walter Benjamin’s concept of phantasmagoria, which provides a critical framework through which it articulates the dynamic relationship between ideology, architecture, and everyday practices, and reassesses their impact upon individual subjectivity and agency. The woman emerges as a central subject of the book, upon whom the phantasmagoric effects of the socialist state’s modernizing agenda have an acute impact at the level of lived domesticity and everyday life. Through a focus on the lived experiences of women, the book illuminates the prismatic effect of the state’s infrastructural and legal intentions, including the ways in which these were subverted through women’s lived bodily experiences of the home. The book establishes, both theoretically and through the concrete case of the city of Bucharest, the methodological significance of Benjamin’s notion of phantasmagoria as an epistemological approach to a modern communist cityscape. Urban Phantasmagorias is an important contribution to scholarship in architectural history and theory, urban and gender studies, and post-socialist and Eastern European studies.

Book Synopsis The Construction of Equality by : Jennifer Mack
Download or read book The Construction of Equality written by Jennifer Mack and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An industrial city on the outskirts of Stockholm, Södertälje is the global capital of the Syriac Orthodox Christian diaspora, an ethnic and religious minority group fleeing persecution and discrimination in the Middle East. Since the 1960s, this Syriac community has transformed the standardized welfare state spaces of the city’s neighborhoods into its own “Mesopotälje,” defined by houses with Mediterranean and other international influences, a major soccer stadium, and massive churches and social clubs. Such projects have challenged principles of Swedish utopian architecture and planning that explicitly emphasized the erasure of difference. In The Construction of Equality, Jennifer Mack shows how Syriac-instigated architectural projects and spatial practices have altered the city’s built environment “from below,” offering a fresh perspective on segregation in the European modernist suburbs. Combining architectural, urban, and ethnographic tools through archival research, site work, participant observation (among residents, designers, and planners), and interviews, Mack provides a unique take on urban development, social change, and the immigrant experience in Europe over a fifty-year period. Her book shows how the transformation of space at the urban scale—the creation and evolution of commercial and social districts, for example—operates through the slow accumulation of architectural projects. As Mack demonstrates, these developments are not merely the result of the grassroots social practices usually attributed to immigrants but instead are officially approved through dialogues between residents and design professionals: accredited architects, urban planners, and civic bureaucrats. Mack attends to the tensions between the “enclavization” practices of a historically persecuted minority group, the integration policies of the Swedish welfare state and its planners, and European nativism.

Book Synopsis In Defense of Housing by : Peter Marcuse
Download or read book In Defense of Housing written by Peter Marcuse and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.
Book Synopsis Reinventing Community by : David Wann
Download or read book Reinventing Community written by David Wann and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ''Human beings are not meant to live alone, or in isolated nuclear family arrangements. We do best in community. But in a few short generations, we've lost many of the social skills necessary for successful community living. The folks ... in Reinventing Community are the vanguard for the future - they're learning today ... what it takes to go beyond the solitary and aliented survival tactics of modern urban life to the full flowering of the human spirit of tomorrow.'' --- Eric Utne, founder of Utne magazine and editor of Cosmo Doogood's Urban Almanac.....Cohousing began in Scandinavia in the 1960s as a response to a feeling of isolation within typical suburban communities, where you don't know your neighbor, nor can you rely on their assistance - not even for a cup of sugar. Cohousing spread to the United States in the 1980s, and there are now several hundred such communities throughout the country in more than thirty states. Reinventing Community is the first cohousing anthology that tells real-world stories from the perspectives of the unique people who live in these communities, whether they be in urban, suburban, or rural settings. Unlike the few ''how-to'' guides in the marketplace today, this book details the lives of these close-knit groups of caring and active neighbors who enjoy their own privacy, yet also share a wonderful sense of camaraderie and connection. Exploring everything from planning a cohousing community to moving in to the joys and challenges of daily life, Reinventing Community shares with its readers a sense of what it takes to build a true community in our often detached and disengaged modern world.
Book Synopsis Spatial Tensions in Urban Design by : Ianira Vassallo
Download or read book Spatial Tensions in Urban Design written by Ianira Vassallo and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an original research perspective to the field of contemporary urban conflicts. Even though violent conflicts have transformed cities during the XX century, it is nowadays possible to identify the phenomenon of “Tensions” as a specific contemporary both social and spatial urban changes catalyst. Through a collection of essays from various disciplines focusing on international case studies—from India to Europe to Latin America— the publication explores the multifaceted concept of “spatial tensions” as a lens for better understanding contemporary urban transformations. While tensions often depend on spatial dispositives and superstructures, they also offer a powerful key for design practices and strategies.
