Abstract

Le monument socialiste de Vienne la Rouge est le «Hof», le superbloc d'habitations ouvrières qui contient une gamme étendue de services collectifs: écoles gardiennes et primaires, buanderies, cuisines, ateliers artisanaux, espaces verts. Le «Hof» est un modèle d'habitation collective qui ne part pas de l'hypothèse d'une nouvelle organisation urbaine, mais qui s'insère tout naturellement dans les mailles de la ville existante et en accepte toutes les servitudes. Vienne la Rouge ne cherche pas, entre 1919 et 1933, à préfigurer un monde nouveau. Sa diversité ne réside pas dans la réorganisation de l'ensemble métropolitain, mais dans une configuration socialiste de chacune de ses parties. La grande expérience de ces années dans le domaine de la politique de l'habitation s'inscrit comme un moment unique dans l'histoire du mouvement ouvrier. Exceptionnelle est la masse de réflexions théoriques dont s'inspire la politique austro-marxiste, exceptionnels sont les instruments économiques mis en œuvre, exceptionnelles les finalités, exceptionnels les moyens formels qui rendent ce programme de construction visible. Avec l'étude et l'anthologie de Manfredo Tafuri, l'analyse typologique des «Höfe» d'Alfredo Passeri, la chronologie de Paolo Piva, avec sa documentation photographique, cet ouvrage offre une reconstitution fascinante des vicissitudes de la politique de l'habitat dans la Vienne socialiste.

Abstract

Restrictions and tight budgets often lead to some of the most ingenious design solutions and the new House of Memory (Casa della Memoria) in Milan is a case in point. Designed by Italian architecture collective Baukuh, the new building in the rapidly transforming Puorta Nuova area is the city's latest archive, exhibition and conference space. It is fair to say that this project kicked off with a relatively strict budget. ‘It was fixed from the beginning – 3.6 million Euros – and if you think that the building is 2,400 sq m, this leaves a meagre 1500 Euros per sq m to do everything,' says Baukuh co-founder Pier Paolo Tamburelli. ‘This meant exposed concrete structure, exposed installations, pavement in black rubber. All very spartan, but we believe it somehow contributed to the heroic and stoic ethos of the building, somehow reminiscent of early modernist buildings or the Brazilian architecture of the '70s. So, while the exterior references are very local, very Milanese (the local brick tradition dates back to Renaissance), the interior immediately became very brutalist.'

Abstract

Les architectes Fernand, Gaston et Maxime Brunfaut ont marqué le 20ème siècle de leur vision progressiste. Emblématiques d'une époque, les réalisations de ce trio visionnaire interpellent l'imaginaire collectif, comme notre regard sur la ville. Avec une belle diversité d'auteurs, ce premier ouvrage à leur être consacré couvre ainsi pas moins de 50 ans de modernisme à Bruxelles et en Belgique.

Abstract

Great Planning Disasters appears as ensational - even a sensationalist - title. But it means what it says. This book deals with a series of great planning decisions - ones costing tens or hundreds or even thousands of millions of pounds or dollars. It analyses the central processes of planning that were involved. And it isolates those which, in the view of many informed people, were disasters either because they were abandoned after much effort, or because they went ahead and were widely criticized as major mistakes. Among the first group-negative disasters - the book looks at London's third airport and the abandoned London motorways. Among the many examples of positive disasters it considers Concorde, the Bay Area Rapid Transit System in San Francisco, and the Sydney Opera House. Lastly it probes two cases of near-disasters that became relative successes: California's plan for new university campuses, and Britain's plans for a new national library in London. From these case studies, in the second part of the book Peter Hall seeks to distil some general lessons. He looks at the role of key actors in the planning process: at community activists, at professional bureaucrats, at the politicians. His analysis, which synthesizes a large body of recent research in politics and related fields of social science, is often unflattering but always illuminating. Finally, drawing again on research-in fields as diverse as long-term future forecasting, welfare economics and ethical philosophy - he offers some tentativesuggestions for improved decision-making in the future.
