[.es] Las ciudades que habitamos evidencian el vínculo estrecho e inseparable entre patriarcado y capital. En pocos lugares como en nuestras casas, nuestras calles y nuestras plazas se palpa tan claramente un modelo urbano diseñado a medida del sujeto masculino y de la explotación económica.

Atravesadas por esta lógica, disciplinas como el urbanismo y la arquitectura han materializado el desplazamiento de las mujeres a las fronteras interiores de lo doméstico y —como con las personas racializadas, ancianas, menores o con capacidades diversas—, su exclusión del espacio público.

Esta lógica opera a través de redes de movilidad y transporte pensadas fundamentalmente para el automóvil y el movimiento de mercancías; una arquitectura que reduce al mínimo el espacio disponible para los cuidados o un planeamiento en manos de cúpulas de especialistas desvinculados de la vida de sus habitantes, son algunos de los rasgos de esa ciudad que expulsa todo aquello que no responda a las lógicas de extracción de valor.

La propuesta que las autoras desarrollan en este libro, recoge una genealogía de décadas de elaboración crítica y experiencias prácticas, cuyo repertorio permite hoy al feminismo ofrecer un contramodelo frente a la ciudad neoliberal. Una ciudad cuidadora que subvierta el actual orden de prioridades, superando la dicotomía privado o público, mediante el diseño de entornos que pongan en el centro las necesidades de una población diversa y compleja, que sean sostenibles en términos sociales y ambientales, y donde las decisiones políticas y estratégicas estén en manos de sus habitantes.

‘Urbanismo feminista’ concretan diferentes aspectos relativos a esa ciudad de los cuidados, desde la clara conciencia de que solamente los procesos impulsados desde abajo, edificarán una realidad urbana radicalmente distinta a la que conocemos.

👤 Col·lectiu Punt 6. Cooperativa de arquitectas, sociólogas y urbanistas de procedencias diversas con más de 10 años de experiencia local, estatal e internacional, Punt 6 es actualmente una de las referencias fundamentales de la crítica y la práctica del urbanismo feminista. Desde su nacimiento en 2004, han impartido talleres, elaborado guías, trabajos de docencia, investigaciones y consultarías urbanas, auditorias de género, y todo un conjunto de proyectos encaminados a llevar a cabo, de manera real, las transformaciones necesarias para unas ciudades sean más inclusivas, donde las protagonistas seamos las propias personas que las habitamos.

#books #architecture | White houses

White houses / Philip Jodidio.
London : Thames and Hudson, 2019.

https://ehu.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1126995973

The first publication devoted to all-white houses, compiled and written by one of the world’s leading authorities on contemporary architecture. Sometimes seen as an absence of colour, white in fact reflects the purity of the entire spectrum. In the history of design, white houses often embody the bright, clean clarity associated with 20th-century giants Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Richard Meier.

‘White Houses’ presents the most striking, innovative and unusual white houses by contemporary architects, spanning the globe from Asia to the Americas. The featured houses represent every scale and a wide range of locations and terrains, from seaside retreats to space-?saving urban homes and grand country residences. From radical new takes on traditional building forms in Latin America to state-of-the-art urban projects in Europe and Japan, each house employs the apparent simplicity of white to reflect light and accent materiality, pressing the frontiers of form to the point of abstraction. No longer an anonymous box, the contemporary white house is the embodiment of the architectural archetype, reinterpreted and refreshed.

This monograph discusses the role that ruins play in urban centers in terms of their meaning, testimony, and value, and the opportunities they provide. After an outline of historical and contemporary of approaches, with a special analysis of British and Italian approaches, Elisa Pilia puts forward a methodology for the investigation of the strategic values of such artifacts, and ideas for their potential contribution to a sustainable requalification of historic urban cores. The protocol is tested on the historical center of Cagliari, a mid-sized port city on the southern coast of the island of Sardinia, Italy, where the remains left by aerial bombardment during the Second World War are still a dramatic part of the controversial European debate on how to reuse ruins.

Traditional building methods - such as those used in pueblos, timbered houses, or the Japanese minka - exist in fascinating diversity and create the face of a region. However, as a result of globalization they have been marginalized in many places. In the fastest developing countries in particular, a wealth of experience that goes back hundreds of years is being irretrievably lost, even though valuable insights can be gained for modern building. Using the examples of selected domestic buildings from all continents, 30 international experts demonstrate why we can still learn from vernacular architecture; they analyze the cultural context and the adaptation to topographic/climactic conditions, and focus on the local materials used as well as on the construction, the building process, and the necessary maintenance.

How is it possible to keep the immense deposits of raw materials in buildings "active" and realise environmentally sustainable buildings in the long term? Besides "sufficiency, consistency and efficiency", this goal implies the intelligent use of resources, the recyclability of structures, circular construction methods that reuse decommissioned materials, in short "urban mining". This requires a rethink in planning and execution, thus posing a great challenge for architects and engineers. The Recycling Manual provides the necessary expertise for the associated paradigm shift in construction. In addition to successful project examples, this comprehensive and detailed guide provides in-depth explanations on calculation methods and tendering aspects.

Prefabricated housing is a pressing issue –  for those looking for affordable homes as well as for refugees fleeing wars or natural disasters. In common with politicians, architects were caught unawares by the largest wave of migration since the end of the Second World War. However, are tent cities and containers the best solution for cheap, dignified, and quickly assembled accommodation for displaced persons? This challenging situation, along with the changing urban landscape, with its ever-diminishing space, calls into question existing standards in relation to serial housing. Bold and unconventional ideas are called for if architects are to offer high-quality solutions.

From eccentric experiments all the way to projects that have already been realised, international design teams present their work between the twin poles of unconventional developments and life-saving shelters in this volume spanning more than 250 pages. Introduced with articles on design principles, and divided into three sections according to the form the structures take when delivered – cuboid, panels and custom units – the book covers everything from playful follies to architectural constructions for the homeless and outpatient medical stations which offer a response to social problems and space shortages. The text, photographs and plans put forward ideas as to how more can be done than the mere assembling of containers. Should we not first consider notions bordering on the absurd in order to come up with workable solutions for housing today?

Esta segunda monografía que dedica TC a Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra viene a completar el trabajo que empezó en el TC 92/93, recogiendo esta vez 14 proyectos de la última década de trabajo de este arquitecto sevillano.

En estos proyectos, encontramos los temas recurrentes de la arquitectura occidental mediterránea: el patio, la plataforma, la plaza, la galería y el espacio exterior cubierto en obras de tipo residencial, cultural o de ordenación urbana como el Parque Magallanes en Sevilla.

Viviendas como la casa Robinson y la A11 en Sevilla o las viviendas sociales en Vallecas se publican junto con otras obras de mayor escala como la nueva sede para El Caixa Forum de Sevilla, el Palacio de Congresos en la misma ciudad, el Mercado de Torrent o el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y Europeos de Luxemburgo.

Un arquitecto, en definitiva, de carácter internacional, sin renunciar a sus raíces andaluzas, a las lecciones y los elementos característicos de su cultura y de su ciudad. Una circunstancia que le lleva a actuar con el mismo convencimiento e intensidad en las futuras Atarazanas de Sevilla o en la reordenación del polo urbano de Cornavin en Suiza.

La obra de Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra se encuentra aquí narrada, en 326 páginas, por un fluir de fotografías, bocetos, esquemas planimétricos, fragmentos de perspectiva, vistas axonométricas, estudios en planta y en sección y detalles constructivos. Con textos de Ricardo y Carlos Meri, Giovanna Crespi y Ricardo Carvalho.

Tokyo-based architect Ryji Fujimura approaches his field as creative relationships between knowledge and form (“chi no katachi”, the materialisation of knowledge), thereby examining and exploring all aspects of design as the prototype of architectural thinking. This volume features Fujimuras recent architectural designs and essays, tracing his attempts to redefine architecture as a dynamic intellectual tool for the realisation of more tolerant societies that appreciate diversity. It is set against the background of todays social context, where people fluctuate between democracy and populism, while algorithms and artificial intelligence handle an ever-increasing volume of information.

‘Atlas of the Copenhagens’ explores the urban territories of Copenhagen, often identified in city-ranking indices as the world’s most sustainable and livable city. Such claims position Copenhagen as an opportune site to engage in a wider debate on contemporary urban ideals, prompting questions such as: What is ‘sustainability’ or ‘livability’? On whose terms are these concepts defined? What agendas are included or excluded? The increasing authority attributed to city-ranking metrics prompts a second line of inquiry. How are the territorial and conceptual limits of a city drawn to define it as an object of measurement? What is Copenhagen as a territory in this case – the urban core, the municipality, the urbanized area, the regional urban system, or…? And how does this impact our understanding of something as complex and manifold as a city? With over 400 maps, information graphics, and illustrations, this book offers a visually seductive, yet informative and comprehensive, understanding of the city of Copenhagen. Additional essays support the reader’s open-ended reflection on themes of sustainability or livability across a range of conceptual and territorial Copenhagens.

This visually arresting tour through the former East Germany shows the best examples of modernist architecture still standing there today. The buildings constructed in East Germany after the Second World War are often dismissed as drab, Soviet-style, prefabricated blocks of cement. But the architecture of the German Democratic Republic was created with an eye toward modernity and efficiency, and heralded the birth of a new country and a new economic and social system. Hans Engels has traveled throughout East Germany to photograph iconic modernist buildings that survived demolition. From movie theaters, high-rises, and restaurants to museums, convention centers, and transit stations, these buildings have all stood the test of time. While the philosophy that drove their design may be outdated, their retro appeal is stronger than ever.

Anyone who prefers to view postmodernism – with reference to architecture – as an epoch, looks with enthusiasm to the western part of Berlin in the 1980s. Nowhere else is there a greater density of buildings to which this label can be attached. Veritable architectural manifestos that shaped the cityscape from then on can be found there. The city and the time allowed for seemingly contradictory pieces of architecture, but what unites the residential buildings above all is the vehement artistic desire of their master builders. Thirty of these are being re-photographed around thirty years after their creation. Floor plans document the structural similarities and differences independently of the architectural means of expression.

In Berlin there is a globally unparalleled density of buildings from the post-modern era, which are currently being rediscovered and that should be accordingly newly comprehended. The city and the era allowed for the most contradictory types of architecture in terms of shape and appearance by the internationally most renowned architects of the time. These veritable constructed manifests of the 1980s gave the western part of the city a new face right before the fall of the Wall and the German reunification.

‘Moscow: A Guide to Soviet Modernist Architecture 1955 – 1991’ provides descriptions of almost 100 buildings from the most underrated period of Soviet architecture. This is the first guide to bring together the architecture made during the three decades between Khrushchev and Gorbachev, from the naive modernism of the "thaw" of the late 1950s through postmodernism. Buildings include the Palace of Youth, the Rossiya cinema, the Pioneer Palace, the Ostankino TV Tower, the TASS headquarters, the "golden brains" of the Academy of Sciences and less well-known structures such as the House of New Life and the Lenin Komsomol Automobile Plant Museum. The authors situate Moscow's postwar architecture within the historical and political context of the Soviet Union, while also referencing developments in international architecture of the period.

Tashkent, the southernmost metropolis of millions in the Soviet Union, is a city redolent with architectural contrasts and para doxes. Home to the most beautiful prefabricated buildings in the world, it features a prominent urban duality predicated upon the oriental Old City and the Russian New City. Never was this contrast brought into sharper focus than during the severe earthquake of 1966 which left the New City relatively unscathed but the Old City in ruins. Yet one respite was offered: a rebuilding effort which triggered an upsurge of innovation. The city thus became the face of seismic modernism - unprecedented in history, the earthquake stimulated the modernisation of urban development in Tashkent. Architects incorporated regional building traditions in their socialist modern designs, including the visually intriguing facade mosaics attributed to the little-known Zharsky brothers. The rebuilding of Tashkent provides a perfect example of Soviet ideas about urban planning - in which technical standardisation and social requirements were no more of a contradiction than the design of experimental living concepts and the simultaneous search for an expression of national identity in building. Tashkent thus represents a unique example of radical urban redevelopment in a Soviet megacity with standard designs.

Mass housing in Germany, Russia, and Ukraine represents an enormous volume of housing today and therefore an important tool for the future development of cities. But transformation of these districts is needed due to the functional, societal, and technical challenges they face. How can sustainable, socially compatible, ecologically responsible, and economically efficient development be achieved? This book summarises the results of a three-year research project. Based on the selected case studies, it points out the qualities and values as well as the problems and possibilities involved in spatially transforming prefabricated housing ­estates from the 1960s and 1970s. The specific features and characteristics of the socialist city are evaluated with respect to their potentials and difficulties, and with regard to the requirements placed on future district planning and development. Hence this book contributes to the on-going discussion and serves as a valuable basis for developing planning strategies.

While Director of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius built the Auerbach House in 1924, his first private house in the Bauhaus mode. Thus, this in cooperation with Adolf Meyer created building is one of the most important milestones for the early years of the Bauhaus. Certainly, the most outstanding feature of the house is the authentic interior color scheme. It was first discovered during the restoration that Alfred Arndt designed color schemes for every interior wall. Preserving almost all original details, today the house glows again with the 37 original pastel tones. This book also recounts the moving story of the Auerbachs, a married Jewish couple who helped to shape Jena’s social life at the turn of the century, befriended Edvard Munch, fought for women’s rights, and whose house symbolized resistance to the expulsion of the Bauhaus from Weimar.

Before commencing its large-scale renovations, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen pulls out all the stops with the exhibition 'netherlands ⇄ bauhaus - pioneers of a new world'. 2019 is the centenary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the revolutionary art and design school whose influence can still be felt today. Almost 800 objects - artworks, furniture, ceramics, textiles, photographs, typography and architectural drawings - provide a unique insight into the inspirational interactions between the Netherlands and the Bauhaus. Envisaging a new world and a quest for simplicity and functionality were among the principles of the Bauhaus. Walter Gropius established the revolutionary school for artists, architects and industrial designers in the German city of Weimar in 1919. In a period in which only a small elite could afford products designed by artists, the Bauhaus worked from the ideal of making beautiful and functional design available to all. The school's groundbreaking ideas, which later exerted worldwide influence, found their echo in the Netherlands in architecture, design and education. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen explores this Netherlands ? Bauhaus network for the first time in a major survey.
