Mass Hous­ing and Pre­fab­ric­a­tion in Modernist Architecture

ed. by Regine Hess, Inbal Ben-Asher Gitler, Tzafrir Fainholtz, Yael Allweil
Leuven Uni­ver­sity Press,
Leuven 2024

Mod­ern mass hous­ing owes much of its social ideas and designs to archi­tec­tural pre­fab­ric­a­tion. Indeed, the concept of this book is based on the idea that pre­fab­ric­a­tion in mass hous­ing should bring about social change in spe­cific his­tor­ical situ­ations. There­fore, the present col­lec­tion provides a history of dif­fer­ent con­struc­tion sys­tems in diverse con­texts, but more than that, it is an attempt to demon­strate the rel­ev­ance of pre­fab­ric­a­tion history for a cul­tural and mater­ial history of the built environment.

The con­trib­ut­ors are Mia Åker­felt (Åbo Aka­demi Uni­ver­sity, Turku), Yael Allweil (Tech­nion Israel Institute of Tech­no­logy), Inbal Ben Asher-Gitler (Sapir Aca­demic Col­lege, Ashkelon/ Ben Gur­ion Uni­ver­sity of the Negev, Beer Scheva), Angelo Ber­to­lazzi (Uni­ver­sity of Padua), Tamara Bjažić Klarin (Uni­ver­sity of Zagreb), Tzafrir Fainholtz (Tech­nion Israel Institute of Tech­no­logy), Alberto Fran­chini (Tech­nical Uni­ver­sity Munich/Polytechnic Uni­ver­sity of Milan), Ilaria Gian­netti (Sapi­enza, Uni­ver­sity of Rome), Regine Hess (ETH Zurich), Silke Langenberg (ETH Zurich), Daphna Lev­ine (Tech­nion Israel Institute of Tech­no­logy), Stefania Mor­nati (Sapi­enza, Uni­ver­sity of Rome), Uta Pot­tgiesser (TU Delft), Maryia Rusak (Oslo School of Archi­tec­ture and Design), Liat Savin Ben Shoshan (Tech­nion Israel Institute of Tech­no­logy), Maria Tas­sopoulou (Tech­nical Uni­ver­sity of Athens), Anna Wil­czyńska (Esto­nian Uni­ver­sity of Life Sciences/Warsaw Uni­ver­sity of Life Sciences).

Archi­tec­ture
Con­flict

ed. by Regine Hess,
work­ing group
Archi­tec­ture Conflict

Kritische Berichte.
Journal for Art History
and Cul­tural Stud­ies, 2/2023

This issue is ded­ic­ated to con­flict in archi­tec­ture. Here, we con­sider plan­ning and build­ing in at its most import­ant – con­flic­tual – stages, where a mul­ti­tude of dif­fer­ent act­ors are involved. Archi­tec­ture and preservation are thus more strongly embed­ded in the polit­ical, social, and his­tor­ical sci­ences. Research­ing con­tro­ver­sies and the pro­duc­tion of dif­fer­ence are guid­ing research prin­ciples. The work­ing group Archi­tec­ture Con­flict is inter­ested in a his­tor­ical, source-crit­ical per­spect­ive on built and unbuilt archi­tec­ture, pub­lic space, infra­struc­tures, as well as those nar­rat­ives, insti­tu­tions and inter­ac­tions doc­u­ment­ing that.
This year’s debate on Queer­ness in Art Sci­ences is con­tin­ued by the con­tri­bu­tion «Queer Spa­tial Prac­tice: The Forum Queer Archive Munich as stor­age of memory and feeling».

Oth­er­ing Displayed:
Racial­ized Space­mak­ing of German Exhibitions

The archi­tec­tural design pro­cess aims to cre­ate new orders and at the same time is, itself, struc­tured by its prac­tical, tech­nical, social, and legal frame­works. The lec­ture series in the 2022/2023 sum­mer and winter semester traces this double relation. Each design ima­gines the future and rep­res­ents an attempt to cre­ate a new spa­tial – and thus always social – order. This pro­ject­ive access to the unknown and unthought places plan­ning con­ven­tions, con­struc­tion stand­ards, legal require­ments and estab­lished archi­tec­tural, urb­an­istic and social ideas in relation to each other rethinks them, and makes them dynamic. The lec­ture series asks how design struc­tures the inter­ac­tion of these dif­fer­ent and het­ero­gen­eous factors and what roles the con­di­tions, norms, and tools of design play.
