Abstract

Er was nog nooit een boek geschreven over de Bruynzeelwoningen die, met hun markante vormgeving, de wijken van Paramaribo domineren. Het boek 'Bruynzeelwoningen in Suriname' beschrijft de geschiedenis van Bruynzeel Suriname Houtmaatschappij en de Bruynzeelwoningen. Het vertelt alles over woningtypes, kenmerken, constructie en ontwerp.​Maar, hieraan wordt het unieke verhaal van Kees Tempelaar, de grondlegger van de woningen, toegevoegd samen met herinneringen van andere werknemers, bewoners en omstanders. Zo is het boek een totaal document geworden, dat het complexe tijdsbeeld 1947 tot 2005 beschrijft van Suriname en Bruynzeel. De tropische foto's, van toen én nu, maken het beeld compleet.

Abstract

As we stand on the cusp of a fundamental restructuring of the housing and building industries, this book provides a timely overview of prefabricated and modular housing. The idea of prefabricated and modular housing is not a new one: since the 19th century, designers, inventors, engineers, builders, developers, and entrepreneurs have all been fascinated by the idea of the factory-built home. But the current international housing shortages and affordability crises have given a new urgency to the need to transform building construction in the 21st century. 00Richly illustrated and drawing on historical examples and contemporary design studies, the book takes the reader through the history, theory and design of the prefab, leading up to a discussion of contemporary problems and opportunities.

Abstract

The land in big cities has be used more intensively, but the possibilities are limited. One of the leading options for the future is the use of the flat roofs of residential buildings and office blocks as a building site. Rooftop buildings can intensify the existing city, inject it with new vitality and break through the monofunctionality of a neighbourhood. So far the exploitation of rooftop space has been incidental. This book analyses and describes the opportunities for realizing projects of this kind, as well as the potential difficulties, using interesting examples of construction on top of existing buildings in the Netherlands and abroad. It will therefore be influential in establishing a benchmark for architecture and urban planning that is a necessity if rooftop architecture is to have a serious future.(http://www.naipublishers.nl/architecture/rooftoparch_e.html)24/11/05

Abstract

Standardization in building is frequently deplored as monotonous and boring, but it persists as a recurring dream for architects aiming to harness the power of industrial production.New Standards examines the conditions that affect standard, industrial and manufactured buildings by re-visiting a forgotten chapter of wood construction in post-war Finland. The story centers on the industrial enterprise Puutalo Oy [Timber Houses Ltd.], which was established in 1940 as part of Finland’s response to a refugee crisis brought about by war. In less than a decade, the company became one of the largest manufacturers of prefabricated wooden buildings in the world.From 1940 to 1955, many thousands buildings were exported from Finland to sites on every inhabited continent, constructing a legacy of housing and urbanization that has been largely overlooked. Today, these wooden houses may be Finland’s most widespread architectural export. Situated at the intersection of architecture and industrial design, they use a limited range of components to achieve thousands of variations suited to different functional, climatic and cultural conditions.The book offers a new perspective on this legacy through careful analysis of the ways in which these buildings and projects emerged from a rapidly changing political landscape. A series of commissioned essays bring forth exports to the Stalin-era Soviet Union and Cold War Berlin, as well as the company´s advertisements on the domestic front. These historical studies are complemented by contemporary images by acclaimed photographer Juuso Westerlund, which capture views of life in neighborhoods from Helsinki (Finland), Aarhus (Denmark) and Barranquilla (Colombia).

Abstract

Un préfabriqué est une maison produite en série, construite en usine et assemblée sur site en quelques jours ou quelques semaines. Autrefois considéré comme une solution facile et bon marché en cas de problème de logement uregent, le préfabriqué aujourd'hui est synonyme de design ambitieux et de détails sophistiqués. L'épopée du préfabriqué démarre en Angleterre dans les années 1830 jusqu'à nos jours.
