Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homes for Workmen: A Presentation of Leading Examples of Industrial Community Development A Difficult though insistent problem confronting industry today is that of providing proper living conditions for workmen and their families, to insure the adequacy, stability and efficiency of labor. At hundreds of places there is need for more houses and better houses. In some centers where abnormal development has taken place the housing shortage is so acute that factory output cannot be brought up to the required volume. Community housing enterprises, undertaken along proper lines, will avoid the methods of speculative builders, and will not find their incentive in the earning of large dividends and profits to investors. While industrial housing projects should, and will if properly managed, yield a return on the investment, those financing housing companies will derive their principal gain indirectly through general community betterment, which has a distinct and tangible value. The manufacturer will, of course, be the principal beneficiary, and will accordingly bear the greater part of the housing burden, if there must be a burden. While the benefits to the manufacturer are quite generally recognized, the community benefits derived from a well-housed and, therefore, contented and self-respecting labor element, have rarely been given proper consideration in this country. An established industrial community can have no better asset than an adequate supply of well-built, attractive homes, for the reason that it is to that town or city in which the labor supply is stable, and its standards of morality and industry in consequence high, that the manufacturer seeking industrial location instinctively turns. Everywhere that a properly conceived housing program has been put into effect in a manufacturing community it has been attended by an increase in the prosperity of all the mercantile and financial, as well as the manufacturing elements of the community, and also an advance in educational and moral standards. No attempt is made in this preface to discuss the many complex elements of industrial housing. The financial and other problems involved are considered by well-known authorities in special articles appearing in the following pages of this book.

Book Synopsis Zionist Architecture and Town Planning by : Nathan Harpaz

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established as a Jewish settlement in 1909 and dedicated a year later, Tel Aviv has grown over the last century to become Israel’s financial center and the country’s second largest city. This book examines a major period in the city’s establishment when Jewish architects moved from Europe, including Alexander Levy of Berlin, and attempted to establish a new style of Zionist urbanism in the years after World War I. The author explores the interplay of an ambitious architectural program and the pragmatic needs that drove its chaotic implementation during a period of dramatic population growth. He explores the intense debate among the Zionist leaders in Berlin in regard to future Jewish settlement in the land of Israel after World War I, and the difficulty in imposing a town plan and architectural style based on European concepts in an environment where they clashed with desires for Jewish revival and self-identity. While “modern” values advocated universality, Zionist ideas struggled with the conflict between the concept of “New Order” and traditional and historical motifs. As well as being the first detailed study of the formative period in Tel Aviv’s development, this book presents a valuable case study in nation-building and the history of Zionism. Meticulously researched, it is also illustrated with hundreds of plans and photographs that show how much of the fabric of early twentieth century Tel Aviv persists in the modern city.
Download or read book Hart Wood written by Don J. Hibbard and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lavishly illustrated book traces the life and work of Hart Wood (1880–1957), from his beginnings in architectural offices in Denver and San Francisco to his arrival in Hawaii in 1919 as a partner of C. W. Dickey and eventual solo career in the Islands. An outspoken leader in the development of a Hawaiian style of architecture, Wood incorporated local building traditions and materials in many of his projects and was the first in Hawaii to blend Eastern and Western architectural forms in a conscious manner. Enchanted by Hawaii’s vivid beauty and its benevolent climate, exotic flora, and cosmopolitan culture, Wood sought to capture the aura of the Islands in his architectural designs. Hart Wood’s magnificent and graceful buildings remain critical to Hawaii’s architectural legacy more than fifty years after his death: the First Church of Christ Scientist on Punahou Street, the First Chinese Church on King Street, the S & G Gump Building on Kalakaua Avenue, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply Administration Building on Beretania Street, and the Alexander & Baldwin Building on Bishop Street, as well as numerous Wood residences throughout the city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Albion Fellows Bacon Indiana's Municipal Housekeeper Robert G. Barrows Examines the career of a leading Progressive Era reformer. Born in Evansville, Indiana, in 1865, Albion Fellows was reared in the nearby hamlet of McCutchanville and graduated from Evansville High School. She worked for several years as a secretary and court reporter, toured Europe with her sister, married local merchant Hilary Bacon in 1888, and settled into a seemingly comfortable routine of middle-class domesticity. In 1892, however, she was afflicted with an illness that lasted for several years, an illness that may have resulted from a real or perceived absence of outlets for her intelligence and creativity. Bacon eventually found such outlets in a myriad of voluntary associations and social welfare campaigns. She was best known for her work on behalf of tenement reform and was instrumental in the passage of legislation to improve housing conditions in Indiana. She was also involved in child welfare, city planning and zoning, and a variety of public health efforts. Bacon became Indiana's foremost "municipal houskeeper," a Progressive Era term for women who applied their domestic skills to social problems plaguing their communities. She also found time to write about her social reform efforts and her religious faith in articles and pamphlets. She published one volume of children's stories, and authored several pageants. One subject she did not write about was women's suffrage. While she did not oppose votes for women, suffrage was never her priority. But the reality of her participation in public affairs did advance the cause of women's political equality and provided a role model for future generations. Robert G. Barrows, Associate Professor of History at Indiana University at Indianapolis, was previously an editor at the Indiana Historical Bureau. He has published several journal articles and book chapters dealing with Indiana history and American urban history, and he coedited (with David J. Bodenhamer) the Encyclopedia of Indianapolis (Indiana University Press).
