Abstract

This book explores contemporary apartments not as raw canvases for interior decoration but as a building type of growing significance. An introduction presents the history of multiple-occupancy housing through its most innovative 20th-century exemplars, from the urbane blocks of Auguste Perret and Henri Sauvage in Paris, to the landscaped housing estates of Weimar Germany and the visionary schemes of Le Corbusier. The heart of the book features 38 recent and ongoing projects, designed by leading international studios and rising talents. Buildings range from social housing and micro apartments to 'vertical villages', megastructures and luxury high-rises. Each project is considered for the way in which it enriches the lives of residents and the city, and is shown through drawings and photographs, taken from the street and within. The book also includes interviews with such contemporary masters of apartment design as Michael Maltzan, Lorcan O'Herlihy, Édouard François and Bjarke Ingels. As our cities grow more crowded, it is critical that we produce large-scale buildings that enhance the lives of their inhabitants, their surroundings and the urban environment as a whole. Building Community offers dozens of proven successes to designers and apartment-dwellers.

Abstract

Similarly to other European cities, Liège was deeply affected by the real estate boom that began at the turn of the 1960s. In line with modernists thoughts, the mayor and private developers sought to renovate the outdated housing stock by replacing the old urban fabric with a new typology: the apartment building. Over a 15-year period, most of the 19th century houses along the quays and the boulevards were replaced with 12 storey modernist constructions. This transformation radically changed the skyline and image of the city. Nowadays, these buildings still represent an important part of the overall housing stock and yet they are gradually reaching the end of their first life cycle. With the rising cost of energy, changes in society and the evolution of norms and standards, these modern 'icons' are becoming outdated. This first edition of the summer school reconsidered the apartment buildings in Liège and speculated about how architectural intervention could recycle this specific housing typology.

Abstract

Dans les immeubles actuels, les dispositions des logements semblent le plus souvent être toujours les mêmes, comme si leur conception était liée à des normes et des habitudes trop ancrées, ou à la persistance de cultures et de logiques établies, tant chez les architectes que dans la politique et la production du logement. Faut-il y voir l'effet de contraintes et de règlements ? La pesanteur des habitudes ? Ou bien les architectes perpétuent-ils une culture établie de longue date ? Ainsi, cet ouvrage décrit et explique le plan du logement depuis 1850 à nos jours et démontre qu'il a dû tenir compte : des exigences de confort, mais aussi d'urbanisme ; de l'avènement de la représentation graphique « le plan » et de la discussion autour de sa distribution ; de l'articulation de l'espace interne du logement et de sa relation avec l'espace extérieur ; de la conception de l'enveloppe et des équipements technique du logement ; de la complexité grandissante du processus de conception architecturale du logement. En confrontant les textes réglementaires qui se sont succédé, les écrits sur le sujet et la publication des plans par les architectes, ce livre met en évidence une forte continuité de la conception dans la production courante du logement, sans réels bouleversements apportés par de nouveaux programmes et typologies de l'immeuble. Exigences de qualités d'usage versus logiques technicoéconomiques : la difficile prise en compte de ces enjeux quelquefois contradictoires semblerait brider quelque peu l'architecture du logement, mais n'empêche pas qu'elle puisse en être stimulée.
