Book excerpt: Six residential areas of the interwar Berlin Modern Style have been given in 2008 the status as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In respect to its architecture and city planning, Berlin of the 1920s was considered the "avant-garde center of the world". These world-class projects have had an enduring effect on the definition and spread of social housing.

The relevant historical turning points are explained in order to aid the readers understanding of the extraordinary importance of these sites for the worldwide culture of structure and its environment in the 20th Century.
Book Synopsis Housing Estates in Europe by : Daniel Baldwin Hess
Download or read book Housing Estates in Europe written by Daniel Baldwin Hess and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the formation and socio-spatial trajectories of large housing estates in Europe. Are these estates clustered or scattered? Which social groups originally had access to residential space in housing estates? What is the size, scale and geography of housing estates, their architectural and built environment composition, services and neighbourhood amenities, and metropolitan connectivity? How do housing estates contribute to the urban mosaic of neighborhoods by ethnic and socio-economic status? What types of policies and planning initiatives have been implemented in order to prevent the social downgrading of housing estates? The collection of chapters in this book addresses these questions from a new perspective previously unexplored in scholarly literature. The social aspects of housing estates are thoroughly investigated (including socio-demographic and economic characteristics of current and past inhabitants; ethnicity and segregation patterns; population dynamics; etc.), and the physical composition of housing estates is described in significant detail (including building materials; building form; architectural and landscape design; built environment characteristics; etc.). This book is timely because the recent global economic crisis and Europe’s immigration crisis demand a thorough investigation of the role large housing estates play in poverty and ethnic concentration. Through case studies of housing estates in 14 European centers, the book also identifies policy measures that have been used to address challenges in housing estates throughout Europe.
Book Synopsis Housing Estates in the Baltic Countries by : Daniel Baldwin Hess
Download or read book Housing Estates in the Baltic Countries written by Daniel Baldwin Hess and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book focuses on the formation and later socio-spatial trajectories of large housing estates in the Baltic countries—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. It also explores claims that a distinctly “westward-looking orientation” in their design produced housing estates that were superior in design to those produced elsewhere in the Soviet Union (between 1944 and 1991, Estonia was a member republic of the USSR). The first two parts of the book provide contextual material to help readers understand the vision behind housing estates in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. These sections present the background of housing estates in the Baltic Republics as well as challenges and debates concerning their formation, evolution, and present condition and importance. Subsequent parts of the book consist of: demographic analyses of the socioeconomic characteristics and ethnicity of housing estate residents (past and present) in the three Baltic capital cities, case studies of people and places related to housing estates in the Baltic countries, and chapters exploring relevant special topics and themes. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, and advocates interested in understanding the past, present, and future importance of housing estates in the Baltic countries.

Download or read book Bruno Taut written by Winfried Brenne and published by Braun Pub Ag. This book was released on 2013 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and extended edition presents the extensive catalogue of Bruno Taut's architectural works and provides insight into the creative work and life of the exceptional artist.Bruno Taut (1880-1938) is generally considered the leading housing estate architect of the modern era. Utilizing the latest architectural techniques and concentrating on the needs of the people who were to inhabit his buildings, he made a lasting impression on the housing construction of his time - which is not simply reflected by the 10,000 flats built by him. This revised and extended edition presents the extensive catalogue of Bruno Taut's works. Each project is portrayed by means of texts, plans as well as historic and contemporary photos. Proven experts lead the reader through the creative work and life of Bruno Taut in several introductory essays that show him not only as a city planner, designer and social reformer but above all as an artist who therefore truly deserves to be honored as the master of colourful architecture in Berlin.
Book Synopsis Zingster reloaded by : Weidinger, Jürgen
Download or read book Zingster reloaded written by Weidinger, Jürgen and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he objective of the project was to transform this large mono-functional housing estate into a sustainable, functionally diverse and socially blended urban district with innovative and sustainably organized technical infrastructure systems. The project brought together urban designers, landscape architects and architects as well as specialists in urban water management and energy. While the urban designers focused on differentiation and diversity, on the integration of workplaces and communicative uses, on problems of cautious densification and on a redefinition of public spaces, the architects were concerned with reconstruction measures and potential new uses, well-defined intervention in the existing stock of concrete-slab prefabricated housing, transformation of environment, integration of new housing types in existing construction as well as new construction. The landscape architecture is creating functional open spaces differing in their character and atmosphere, while urban water management and energy specialists, on the other hand, sought to develop concepts of responsible use of resources. The chapter on energy technology presents decentralized solar hot water heating systems, heat recovery from wastewater, radiant heating and controlled ventilation, and shows that CO2-free heating is possible in large housing estates. As for urban water management, its aims are water conservation, water, nutrient and energy recycling and preservation of local water resources. The project presents solutions for dealing with rainwater, grey and black water, for instance an area-integrated black water system, which is able to recycle energy and nutrients. The particular quality of this project consists in the synthesis of the research results of all involved disciplines. The authors build up an example setting for the transformation of a monofunctional dormitory town district into sustainable mixed district. Ziel des Projektes ist die Entwicklung der monofunktionalen Großwohnsiedlung hin zu einem zukunftsfähigen, funktional und sozial gemischten Stadtteil mit innovativen, nachhaltig organisierten Systemen der technischen Infrastruktur. Beteiligte Disziplinen sind: Städtebau, Landschaftsarchitektur und Architektur sowie Siedlungswasserwirtschaft und Energie. Während es im Städtebau um Differenzierung und Vielfalt, Integration von kommunikativen Nutzungen und Arbeitsplätzen, um Fragen einer behutsamen Verdichtung sowie der Neudefinition öffentlicher Räume geht, befasst sich die Fachsparte Architektur mit Möglichkeiten von Umnutzung und Umbau, gezielter Eingriffe in das Plattenbausystem, der Umgestaltung ihres Umfeldes, der Integration neuer Wohnformen im Bestand wie durch Neubauten. Die Landschaftsarchitektur übernimmt die Entwicklung leistungsfähiger Freiräume unterschiedlicher Charaktere und Atmosphären, während die Disziplinen Siedlungswasserwirtschaft und Energie Konzepte eines verantwortungsvollen Umgangs mit den Ressourcen einbringen. Das Kapitel Energietechnik stellt dezentrale Systeme zur solaren Heizwärmeversorgung, Abwasserwärmerückgewinnung, Flächenheizung und kontrollierter Wohnraumlüftung vor und zeigt, dass die CO2-freie Wärmeversorgung von Großsiedlungen möglich ist. Die Ziele der Siedlungswasserwirtschaft: Wassersparen, Wasser-, Nährstoff- und Energierecycling sowie Erhaltung des lokalen Wasserhaushaltes. Es werden Lösungen für den Umgang mit Regen-, Grau- und Schwarzwasser vorgestellt, u.a. ein gebietsintegriertes Schwarzwasserkonzept, dass Nährstoffe und Energie zurückgewinnen kann. Das Projekt versteht sich als städtebaulicher Entwurf, der seine besondere Qualität durch die Synthese der Ergebnisse der beteiligten Fachdisziplinen gewinnt. Die Autoren entwickeln einen Entwurf mit Modellcharakter für die Weiterentwicklung von Stadtrandsiedlungen des industrialisierten Wohnungsbaus.

Book Synopsis Counterpreservation by : Daniela Sandler
Download or read book Counterpreservation written by Daniela Sandler and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-12-15 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Berlin, decrepit structures do not always denote urban blight. Decayed buildings are incorporated into everyday life as residences, exhibition spaces, shops, offices, and as leisure space. As nodes of public dialogue, they serve as platforms for dissenting views about the future and past of Berlin. In this book, Daniela Sandler introduces the concept of counterpreservation as a way to understand this intentional appropriation of decrepitude. The embrace of decay is a sign of Berlin's iconoclastic rebelliousness, but it has also been incorporated into the mainstream economy of tourism and development as part of the city's countercultural cachet. Sandler presents the possibilities and shortcomings of counterpreservation as a dynamic force in Berlin and as a potential concept for other cities. Counterpreservation is part of Berlin's fabric: in the city's famed Hausprojekte (living projects) such as the Køpi, Tuntenhaus, and KA 86; in cultural centers such as the Haus Schwarzenberg, the Schokoladen, and the legendary, now defunct Tacheles; in memorials and museums; and even in commerce and residences. The appropriation of ruins is a way of carving out affordable spaces for housing, work, and cultural activities. It is also a visual statement against gentrification, and a complex representation of history, with the marks of different periods—the nineteenth century, World War II, postwar division, unification—on display for all to see. Counterpreservation exemplifies an everyday urbanism in which citizens shape private and public spaces with their own hands, but it also influences more formal designs, such as the Topography of Terror, the Berlin Wall Memorial, and Daniel Libeskind's unbuilt redevelopment proposal for a site peppered with ruins of Nazi barracks. By featuring these examples, Sandler questions conventional notions of architectural authorship and points toward the value of participatory environments.

Book Synopsis Hans Scharoun and the Development of Small Apartment Floor Plans by : Markus Peter
Download or read book Hans Scharoun and the Development of Small Apartment Floor Plans written by Markus Peter and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romeo and Julia, two residential high-rises in Stuttgart, built 1954-59 and designed by Hans Scharoun (1893-1972), constitute the most original and far-reaching of the various attempts to re-design the entire "process of living" that this extraordinary protagonist of Germany's modern architecture undertook. Over decades, Scharoun had woven and extensive network of research and knowledge systems as a basis for his floor-plan designs. His unpublished writings and, even more importantly, his lectures from between 1947 and 1958 reveal the countless threads of research and discourse, which his work in residential architecture referenced and absorbed. They highlight the sometimes contradictory, yet constant renewal and consolidation of his knowledge in the field of housing. This new book, based on extensive research in collaboration with Berlin's Akademie der Künste, demonstrates how closely interlocked Romeo and Julia are with their architect's immense engagement with the topic of housing. Drawing on previously unpublished archive material held at the Akademie der Künste, the authors for the first time allow the reader an insight into Scharoun's design process. Alongside reproductions of original plans and drawings, the book features excerpts from Scharoun's unpublished text fragments. New images by Swiss architectural photographer Georg Aerni, illustrating the two towers' highly expressive appearance, round out this volume.
Book Synopsis Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities by : Katy Chey
Download or read book Multi-Unit Housing in Urban Cities written by Katy Chey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the development of multi-unit housing typologies that were predominant in a particular city from the 1800s to present day. It emphasises the importance of understanding the direct connection between housing and dwelling in the context of a city, and the manner in which the city is an instructional indication of how a housing typology is embodied. The case studies presented offer an insight into why a certain housing type flourished in a specific city and the variety span across cities in the world where distinct housing types have prevailed. It also pursues how housing types developed, evolved, and helped define the city, looks into how dwellers inhabited their dwellings, and analyses how the housing typologies correlates in a contemporary context. The typologies studied are back-to-backs in Birmingham; tenements in London; Haussmann Apartment in Paris; tenements in New York; tong lau in Hong Kong; perimeter block, linear block, and block-edge in Berlin; perimeter block and solitaire in Amsterdam; space-enclosing structure in Beijing; micro house in Tokyo, and high-rise in Toronto.
Download or read book Richard Neutra written by Richard Neutra and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the first mention of his name, one can easily picture them: light-flooded bungalows that are lavishly composed into nature and that characterize the architectural style of the American West Coast surrounding Los Angeles. But it is sometime overlooked that the career of Richard Neutra (1892-1970) began in Berlin-Zehlendorf. And yet these houses in Zehlendorf represent a fascinating phase in Neutra's work. With their complex color schemes and extravagant interior design, they reveal themselves to be more than just an experimental and radically innovative design. Indeed, these lesser-known aspects already hint at elements that will be taken up again in future projects. The present publication finally provides for a rightful appreciation of Neutra's early works and, alongside historical sources, it collects countless new and unpublished documents about the houses and their first residents.
