Abstract

"This book provides an intellectual history of the modernist 'minimum dwelling', exploring how early modernism saw mass housing as a primary vehicle for achieving the utopian transformation of society. It reappraises the often-overlooked 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences (1929-31), addressing their engagement with the 'minimum dwelling' and revealing them both as milestones in the organisation's annals and as seminal moments in the history of interwar modernism. In 1929, an eclectic international group of avant-garde modernist architects, including Ernst May, Mart Stam, Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, met in Frankfurt for the second instalment of the CIAM conferences. They discussed a design programme for cost-effective, good-quality housing, seeking new approaches and processes to maximize quality and functionality while ensuring affordability for the wider population. In exploring the meaning and form of the 'minimum dwelling', they also re-defined dwelling as the hub of a new way of living, proposing a revolutionary multi-scalar approach to urban design based on the concept of the Existenzminimum ('optimally minimal housing'). Despite the two conferences falling short of the organizer's expectations, and being overshadowed by later instalments, the participating architects sanctioned a semantic shift from minimum as bare necessity to a very different, aspirational, kind of minimalism - transforming the entire conversation on mass low-cost dwelling in design, social and ethical terms. Split into two parts, The Minimum Dwelling Revisited first takes a genealogical approach to explore the provenance of the concept of 'minimum dwelling' prior to the 2nd and 3rd CIAM conferences, it then traces the proceedings of the two conferences themselves. Addressing the origins of the 'minimum dwelling' concept but also its legacies, and serving as a corrective to the overemphasis on 4th CIAM conference and the Athens Charter, the book is essential reading for scholars researching urban design during the Interwar period"--

Abstract

"The legendary fourth CIAM congress took place aboard a ship on the Mediterranean Sea in 1933. Led by Le Corbusier, Cornelis van Eesteren and Sigfried Giedion and themed 'The Functional City', it is considered to be a pinnacle of urbanism. Participants analysed 34 cities on the basis of maps specially produced for the congress, and the results were shown at an exhibition in Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum in 1935. Plans for a publication were interrupted by the war, and the material has until now remained unpublished. This systematic overview of the CIAM 4 city maps offers new perspectives at a crucial moment for urbanism today"--Back cover.

Abstract

The book concerns the four-day cruise to the Aegean islands made by the "inner circle" of the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM) and their friends during the 4th congress in August 1933. Structured around that sequence of Moholy-Nagy's film Architects' Congress dealing with the cruise, the book sheds light on this legendary event in the history of the European architectural and artistic avant-garde.In addition the colourful and ironic six-page letter Moholy-Nagy wrote to his future wife Sibyl describing the "motley crew" and the barely-seaworthy "yacht" that brought them close to the brink of disaster, reveals exclusive insights. This document is being published in its entirety for the first time.Together with a close study of Le Corbusier's sketches and notes in his carnet B5, all of these documents (and even more)—compiled by the authors with utmost care—reveal the preoccupations of the key personae including Sigfried Giedion, Fernand Léger, Amédée Ozenfant, Cornelis van Eesteren, Otto Neurath, and Le Corbusier himself, enabling a reconstruction of their epiphanies, discussions and estrangements at this critical moment in history. They give away a lot about the vital contribution to 20th century culture made by members of the Greek artistic community in Paris, such as Christian Zervos, publisher of Cahiers d'Art; Tériade, editor of the surrealist review Minotaure and publisher of Picasso; Michael Tombros, sculptor and publisher of 20th Century; and the painter Ghika.

Abstract

Issues d'une journée d'études, ces contributions proposent une réflexion sur les enjeux de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme contemporains qui doivent répondre aux préoccupations écologiques tout en satisfaisant les attentes et les besoins des habitants. Des exemples en Europe et dans les pays en voie de développement ou à forte concentration permettent de saisir la complexité de la problématique. "À presque un siècle de la Déclaration de La Sarraz, acte fondateur des Congrès internationaux d'architecture moderne et, par extension, de l'urbanisme moderne, des questions nouvelles se posent pour le futur d'une planète majoritairement urbaine. Largement connue et en partie justifiée, la critique à l'égard des principes des CIAM, des projets et des résultats concrets en découlant n'a jamais suffisamment tenu compte de leur décalage avec les défis environnementaux et sociaux de la ville contemporaine. Conçu pour atteindre des objectifs d'émancipation sociale, le cadre urbain des derniers cent ans se doit d'être évalué quant à sa résilience face aux crises écologiques qui s'annoncent. En somme, quid de la ville moderne en tant que relais entre la première modernité et le projet de transition écologique ?" [4e de couverture]
