Abstract

New insights on the controversial and often-overlooked postwar large-scale housing estates.In the light of the current housing and environmental crisis and increasing social inequalities, there is a growing sense of urgency for architecture as a discipline to engage with the transformation in housing evident in the postwar period. Rather than conceiving this task as a technical matter, this book proposes to reassess the conditions and legacy of this large and ubiquitous housing stock. By foregrounding the mismatch between constructed cultural, social and ideological narratives and the everyday realities of residents, the contributors rediscover some of the tropes of modern housing, such as the impact of technological innovations or the often overlooked character of open spaces, and unveil the intellectual and practical tools that paved the way for this large-scale construction.Contested Legacies advances a new notion of heritage which, rather than seeking to preserve the past, sets outs to actively transform what exists to meet current societal needs. It offers an 'atlas' of exemplary cases, each illustrating a defining yet often neglected aspect of modern postwar housing, from which present engagement and active reflection can grow, making the book an appealing read for both scholars and housing practitioners worldwide.Contributors: Umberto Bonomo (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile), Flávia Brito do Nascimento (Universidade de São Paulo), Gaia Caramellino (Politecnico di Milano), Federico Coricelli (Politecnico di Torino), Jesse Honsa (KU Leuven), Heidi Svenningsen Kajita (University of Copenhagen), Michael Klein (TU Wien), Andrea Migotto (KU Leuven), Nicola Russi (Politecnico di Torino), Martino Tattara (KU Leuven)Ebook available in Open Access.

Abstract

The Delft Prototype is a single apartment from a not yet realized Concept House Urban Villa, which consists of 16 apartments on 4 floors. Both the urban villa and the prototype demonstrate the characteristics of high level industrial production with an extremely low ecological footprint, as well as being energy-positive in use, and both are suitable for multi-storey housing. The research, development, production and built prototype resulted in a unique innovation on the Dutch building market: a sustainable energy-positive apartment system for medium-rise energy-positive housing. This scientific report deals with the history, development and realization process of the prototype up to the completion of the building phase, after which the prototype was furnished and the garden landscaped, culminating with the opening of the prototype in October 2012. The development was initiated by Mick Eekhout’s Chair of Product Development at the TU Delft at the specific request of the building industry and was carried out in close collaboration with a consortium of partners from the SME building supply industry. Innovation continues to progress in these partner industries. The entire project was externally financed for the 8 years of its duration. Apart from initiative and natural project leadership, the innovative contribution of the Chair included the design, coordination and integration of the many components into the single coherent entity of the Concept House ‘Delft’ Prototype.

Abstract

Apartmanlar, birçok ailenin bir arada yaşadığı konutlar olarak geleneksel Osmanlı evinin gelişim süreci içinde ciddi bir kopuşun örnekleri olarak görülmüşlerdir. Gerçekten de bu konutlar, bahçe içinde ahşap konaklara ilk bakışta hiç benzemezler. Çok katlıdırlar, sıkışık kıvnmlı dar sokaklarda yükselirler, kimi zaman karanlık iç mekânlara sahiptirler, bahçeleri yoktur ama geniş teras çatılan vardır. Çoğu sokağa veya caddeye yönlenmişrir, ama manzara imkânı varsa ondan da yararlanmayı ihmal etmezler. Bilinen ve çoğu zaman kabul gören anlayışa göre ilk apartmanlar batı mimarisinden model transferi ile açıklanır ve geleneksel Osmanlı konutundan da bu nedenle ayn tutulur. Ancak hiç kuşkusuz İstanbul'da konutlarda süregelen yaşam biçimlerini de sadece konaklar yansıtmamaktadır. Birçok kültürün yüzyıllarca bir arada yaşadığı bu şehirde çok zengin bîr konut birikimi olduğu açıktır. Aynca apartmanların ilk örneklerinin yapddığı 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısının, kent ve mekân algısında değişimlerin yaşandığı, yaşam biçimlerinde ilginç dönüşümlerin izlendiği bir süreç olduğu düşünüldüğünde, bu konut yapılarının daha detaylı bir incelemeyi hak ettiği ortadadır. Derin Öncel, Apartman'da Galata'da belirli bir alanda ve süreçte yapılan ilk örnekler olarak tanımladığı binalardan yola çıkarak ve hiçbirini bulunduğu "yer" ve dönemin dinamiklerinden ayrı değerlendirme­yerek, bu "yeni" konut tipini tanımaya çalışıyor. Apartmanlarda süregelen yaşam biçimine Osmanlı toplumunun nasıl uyum sağladığını, bu yeni yaşam pratiğine hangi süreçlerden geçilerek gelindiğini sorguluyor. Genel kabullerin dışına çıkarak apartmanları Osmanlı konut kültürünün gelişiminde önemli bir evrenin örnekleri olarak görüyor ve kısa bir zamanda İstanbul'un birçok mahallesinde inşa edilecek olan bu yapılar üzerine daha çok araştırma yapılmadan 20. yüzyıl konutunun sağlıklı i ncel enemeyeceğin i savunuyor.

Abstract

Landlord William Scully presents a full picture of the investment and landmanagement activities of one of the most important figures in American agricultural history. An Irishman who first came to the United States in 1850, Scully eventually built up holdings amounting to almost a quarter million acres of the richest prairie and farm lands in Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. The vast land empire, which was worked by some fifteen hundred tenant farmers, earned for Scully the reputation of being America’s greatest landlord—this despite the fact that he remained an alien until the last decade of his life.
