Within the first three decades after the end of the Second World War the majority of housing in basically all over Europe was constructed, a result not only of the repercussions of the war but also of growing prosperity, expanding welfare systems and a political will to improve the living conditions of the working and middle classes.
Together with students of TU Darmstadt Elli Mosayebi collected historic material of exemplary housing projects built between 1945 and 1975 with a particular focus on „second tier“ cities: Zagreb, Cologne, Oslo, Porto, Lyon, Athens, Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield were selected precisely because they were less subject to overbearing avant-garde ideals and therefore able to develop more specific and ultimately more diverse housing projects. Of the initial 94 projects identified and researched 54 were finally selected for the present volume which represents nothing less than an interrelated archive of European postwar housing: „The Renewal of Dwelling: European Housing Construction 1945-1975“, edited by Elli Mosayebi and Michael Kraus and recently published by @triestverlag. For cross-reference the catalogue of the 54 projects is tagged with 6 thematic fields that allow for pan-European comparisons and also highlight shared characteristics like a hidden skeleton, refined materials or balconies as extended living space. Each of the cities is then discussed in an essay that provides additional context to the buildings documented: in the case of Cologne Jasper Cepl et al. for example discuss O.M. Ungers’ contribution to the „Neue Stadt“ Chorweiler within the context of his theory of the Morphological City and the city as a work of art, Anne-Kristin Kronborg on the other hand provides a thorough overview of Norway’s postwar housing, the welfare state and public-private partnerships.
In combination with the extensive documentation of each project the book really succeeds in providing a pan-European perspective on postwar housing that will hopefully inspire additional cross-border research with regards to housing and the political circumstances in which it came about. Highly recommended!

The post World War I reconstruction housing system was devised by Jeanneret while he was still in his 20's. His proposed method used floor slabs and columns to provide building support instead of the traditional masonry walls. A 'free facade' became possible with this method by recessing the pillars behind the exterior walls. Furthermore, it made it possible for 'free plan' configurations to be realized on each floor. It was the most significant technical design idea behind Le Corbusier's new architecture. #lecorbusier #jeanneret #open #freeplan #modern #purism #housing #worldwar1 #architecture #postwar #postwarmodern #architect #archlife #model #scale #utilitarian #corbusier #exhibit #fulgararchitects

Bauaufnahme + Machbarkeitsstudie
2020
Fotos: Rouven Grom, 2020
Als klassisches Exemplar der progressiven Münchner Nachkriegsmoderne, ist das Suyer Haus, entworfen von Walter Sanzin 1961, eines der schönsten Bauwerke am Rindermarkt und vorbildhaft für seine Bauzeit.
Das simple Stützen-Platten-System lässt in den Etagen maximale Gestaltungsfreiheit, hochwertige Materialien wie Holzfurniere, Aluminium, Terrazzo und Naturstein unterstreichen die Qualität der einfachen Konstruktion. Die Vorhangfassade aus schlanken Elementen mit Pivot-Drehfenstern bietet bis heute mit Transparenz und optischer Bewegung besondere Raumqualitäten nach Innen und nach Außen.
Der Eigentümer hat Aluminiumfenster und Brüstungsflächen aus Blau lackierten, fünf Zentimeter ausgedämmten Stahlsandwichplatten der Firma Gartner mithilfe komplexer Handwerksleistungen und akribischer Recherche mit Sonderlösungen bis heute gut erhalten. Für Ihn gehört Reparatur und Pflege selbstverständlich zur Instandhaltung seines Eigentums.
