Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Buildings for Industrial Towns The need for centers providing recreational opportunities for the worker in his leisure hours has long been realized by industrial organiza tions, particularly where the industries are situated in remote districts utterly lacking such facilities. The first projects developed to meet this need in general took the form of club houses for employees erected by the management and supported in whole or in part by membership dues. A number of these buildings in size and beauty resemble the prosperous country club. Many of them provide recreational and educational ad vantages for all members of the family.

A city is now conceived as a corporation working for the common good in a businesslike way. This implies adapting for city development the methods employed by the successful commercial and industrial corporations of the country. Part Of the program followed by such organizations has been the study Of the future needs of the people they expect to serve, as well as an attempt to discover the increase in growth of population in the communities in which they are doing business. The business corporation serving a widely scattered public which does not build in terms Of the future development of the territory which it serves soon fails to make adequate dividend returns to its stockholders.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buildings for Industry More industrial buildings, by more architects, and in more places - this triad quickly summarizes what has been happening in industrial architecture. Since the last compilation of material from the pages of architectural record was published in 1951 under the title Industrial Buildings, the world of industry has not only grown in size and importance; it has also expanded into new fields and to more and new locations. The two developments are related, of course; as business increases, industry develops new products and new markets, and so extends functionally and geographically as well as statistically. Inevitably, more architects have become involved in producing the necessary buildings. It follows that this book offers a great diversity of types of buildings under the general heading of industrial. Adding to this diversity is the fact that architecture is at last penetrating into some businesses - like lumber yards or steel fabricating plants - which, though long on the scene, are virtually new clients for architects. Warehouses are another old type of business that is currently giving architects new problems. We have had warehouses, of course, since the beginning of trade, but it is only in recent years that scientific methods have been developed to cut handling costs and make full use of modern materials-handling equipment. Truck-docking and terminal facilities have also emerged from back-alley construction and, with the aid of engineering consultation on trucking methods, have become true contemporary architecture, functionally planned and scientifically designed. All of these developments have produced a sweepingly new set of requirements for warehouses and have revolutionized their design. Unlike its predecessor, this book has a separate section for such buildings. Not all the emphasis in this book is on the novel.

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.

The purpose of this bulletin is to supply facts on the building of well-lighted, well ventilated, warm, attractive, and economical houses for miners, these houses being assumed to be units of an industrial village or town the building and management of which are under the control of a corporation, so that special conditions hold which do not apply to houses built and owned by individual miners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction. After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language. At the core of these books is the idea that people should design for themselves their own houses, streets, and communities. This idea may be radical (it implies a radical transformation of the architectural profession) but it comes simply from the observation that most of the wonderful places of the world were not made by architects but by the people. At the core of the books, too, is the point that in designing their environments people always rely on certain "languages," which, like the languages we speak, allow them to articulate and communicate an infinite variety of designs within a forma system which gives them coherence. This book provides a language of this kind. It will enable a person to make a design for almost any kind of building, or any part of the built environment. "Patterns," the units of this language, are answers to design problems (How high should a window sill be? How many stories should a building have? How much space in a neighborhood should be devoted to grass and trees?). More than 250 of the patterns in this pattern language are given: each consists of a problem statement, a discussion of the problem with an illustration, and a solution. As the authors say in their introduction, many of the patterns are archetypal, so deeply rooted in the nature of things that it seemly likely that they will be a part of human nature, and human action, as much in five hundred years as they are today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and absorbing book surveys a little known chapter in the story of American urbanism—the history of communities built and owned by single companies seeking to bring their workers' homes and place of employment together on a single site. By 1930 more than two million people lived in such towns, dotted across an industrial frontier which stretched from Lowell, Massachusetts, through Torrance, California to Norris, Tennessee. Margaret Crawford focuses on the transformation of company town construction from the vernacular settlements of the late eighteenth century to the professional designs of architects and planners one hundred and fifty years later. Eschewing a static architectural approach which reads politics, history, and economics through the appearance of buildings, Crawford portrays the successive forms of company towns as the product of a dynamic process, shaped by industrial transformation, class struggle, and reformers' efforts to control and direct these forces.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BEST SELLER • The basis for the HBO documentary now streaming on HBO Max For five years, James and Deborah Fallows have travelled across America in a single-engine prop airplane. Visiting dozens of towns, the America they saw is acutely conscious of its problems—from economic dislocation to the opioid scourge—but it is also crafting solutions, with a practical-minded determination at dramatic odds with the bitter paralysis of national politics. At times of dysfunction on a national level, reform possibilities have often arisen from the local level. The Fallowses describe America in the middle of one of these creative waves. Their view of the country is as complex and contradictory as America itself, but it also reflects the energy, the generosity and compassion, the dreams, and the determination of many who are in the midst of making things better. Our Towns is the story of their journey—and an account of a country busy remaking itself.
