The MoMA will inaugurate the exhibition Cut 'n' Paste: From Architectural Assemblage to Collage City (July 10, 2013–December 01, 2013) next month. It explores the evolution of collage as both a fundamental yet overlooked technique of architectural representation, and as an extended cultural notion of layering, juxtaposition, and remix that has shaped perceptions of the urban realm over the past century.

Comparing elevated streets. 10 Stories of Collective Housing

Fri, 7 Jun 2013 12:01:09 +0200

"The main novelty in Spangen Justus van Effen housing complex is the elevated street which was to be mechanically repeated in social housing, both by the pioneers of Functionalism and later by those fighting Modern Radicalism…”

“This comparison between the four sections looks at 3 differences among them. The first difference is the position regarding the facade: in Spangen and 8 House the elevated street is an exposed element which marks a turning point in the section.

Story 07. Cristal liquide

Thu, 30 May 2013 10:14:28 +0200

Fernand Pouillon wanted to build at a low cost, to house the middle classes, to bring dignity to affordable housing, to reclaim the harmonious forms of the ancient cities. He was concerned about that neglected part of architecture, that is the house of others.

10 Stories of Collective Housing. NOW ON SALE

Tue, 28 May 2013 11:29:55 +0200

For the first time ever, a+t research group has conducted an analysis of ten inspiring masterpieces through drawings and texts highlighting the most important contributions made by each of the architects towards developing desirable housing. The book recognizes masters such as Ignazio Gardella, Jean Renaudie, Ralph Erskine and Fumihiko Maki, among others, who defended their own personal vision of architecture, a far reach from dogmatism and closer to users. Each story is a journey through multiple possible links which relate the project with works that preceded it, set it against those of its generation and match it up with recent 21st century designs.

Story 02. The sinking of the social condenser

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:00:26 +0200

Social balance is achieved through revolution or through architecture said Le Corbusier. Russian avant-garde architects ignored this dilemma and went for both options.

This story is included in the book 10 Stories of Collective Housing, by a+t research group.

Story 04. The elegance of the dissident

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:59:50 +0200

In a period of manifestos and unbreakable loyalties Ignazio Gardella, the dissident architect, opted for beauty. He was certain that the beautiful was always useful yet not that the useful was always beautiful.

This story is included in the book 10 Stories of Collective Housing, by a+t research group.

Story 03. Cheaper, faster, lighter and taller

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:59:04 +0200

In inter-war France, housing was in urgent demand while house-building was slow and costly. A group of idealists believed that the solution lay in systematizing the process: by converting building into assembly and builders into assemblers.

This story is included in the book 10 Stories of Collective Housing, by a+t research group.

The other half is now a site set aside for residential use, awaiting the arrival of new housing units. In addition to the refurbishment of the existing buildi.

Europe’s cities are engaged in a radical transformation: they need urgently to reduce their ecological footprint to help resolve the energy crisis, combat the greenhouse effect and preserve nonrenewable resources. This transformation applies both to their morphology (form) and their metabolism (including all energy expenditure), and is highly dependent on the ways of living they provide.

To achieve this, all these changes have to be thought out quickly, and that is why Zinio.

The 3 volumes analyze 44 projects on public space regarding the strategies identified in each one.
