  • Housing – Critical Futures
    Housing – Critical Futures. Statement by: Dr Glyn Robbins Defend Council Housing. -- Council Housing Past, Present and Future Several events were held across London on Valentine’s Day 2015 under the heading ‘We Love Council Housing’. In Bethnal Green people met at the Boundary Estate, the birthplace of British council housing and joined a guided tour through 150 years of housing and architectural history that considered the past, present and future of UK housing policy. The Boundary is a monument to the enduring legacy of public housing investment and the ability of concerted political intervention to relieve a housing crisis. The conditions of the Victorian slums, like the Nichol rookery that stood on the site of today’s Boundary, compelled action. The fledgling London County Council’s ‘Housing of the Working Classes’ department, under the visionary leadership of architect Owen Flemming, set new aesthetic standards. The meticulously designed estate of 23 individually-styled tenement blocks, completed in 1900, provided homes for 5,500 people alongside shops, public baths, workshops and laundries – a genuine ‘mixed use’ development. In 2006, the forces of privatisation circling around council housing tried to entice tenants to transfer the estate to a housing association, but this was overwhelmingly rejected. As a result, the Boundary stands as a publically-owned firebreak against the rampaging, speculative east London property market. Round the corner in Columbia Road is Leopold Buildings, testament to a very different housing policy tradition. Built in 1872, the ornate façade conceals a more insidious agenda. Architecture_MPS.

  • Case Studies in Interwar Housing at Welwyn Garden City, Becontree and St
    Complete Communities or Dormitory Towns? Case Studies in Interwar Housing at Welwyn Garden City, Becontree and St. Helier Matthew David Benjamin Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts by Research January 2016 Revised August 2016 Supervisors: Dr. Katrina Navickas, School of Humanities Dr. Susan Parham, School of Humanities 1 Abstract Housing has always been a paramount issue; in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century attempts were made to revolutionise the problem of poor quality houses and the accompanying poor quality of life. This was set against the backdrop of the industrial expansion of the urban metropolis; with possible solutions moving towards decentralisation of the most overpopulated areas. Arguably the most significant steps to remedy the housing issue were made in the interwar period with the development of the second Garden City at Welwyn and the London County Council out of county estates. This thesis focuses on the development of community at the three developments chosen as case studies: Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire and the Becontree Estate in Essex and the St. Helier Estate in Surrey. Key points of analysis were identified and investigated using a range of sources in order to come to a just conclusion. It was found that community values developed substantially over the early stages of growth, not without some examples of friction between existing and new residents. The development of public facilities such as churches, schools, public houses, community centres aided the progression of core community values through all three case studies. The development of these community hubs supported the progression of civic cohesion and pride, thus making the residents feel comfortable in their new surroundings and part of something bigger than themselves.

  • Patrimoine Européen Des Frontières – Points De Rupture, Espaces Partagés
    DIVIDING LINES 7/02/11 17:08 Page 2 Patrimoine européen S’il est le reflet en Europe des périodes d’ouverture, de paix et de prospérité, le patrimoine culturel est également celui des phases de tension vécues sur notre continent. La charge des frontières – Points identitaire associée aux patrimoines de nos pays, depuis la construction des Etats tagés nationaux aux XIXe et XXe siècles, peut s’interpréter comme une masse ambivalente, un de rupture, espaces partagés potentiel à la fois d’entente et de conflit. La frontière est un lieu critique : on se situe d’un côté ou de l’autre. La frontière sépare et démarque les territoires et les identités. Mais elle attire aussi et séduit, car elle est le espaces par lieu de l’entre-deux, espace d’ouverture et de rencontres inédites. C’est sans doute sur les frontières qu’ont le plus de chance d’émerger ces identités plurielles riches de mille facettes et porteuses d’une surprenante créativité. L’identité européenne pourrait en upture, définitive être le plus perceptible en ces zones critiques où des influences diverses se fécondent mutuellement et où ce que l’on croyait impossible devient imaginable. Les textes du livre Patrimoine européen des frontières – Points de rupture, espaces partagés relient le thème du patrimoine à celui des frontières, qu’il s’agisse des frontières géographiques ou des frontières de l’imaginaire. Ils étudient les paysages frontaliers, les vestiges d’anciennes lignes de tension et de barrières fortifiées désormais sans usage. Ils évoquent également les nouvelles frontières urbaines issues du regroupement de populations en groupes ethniques ou d’affinités dans les grandes métropoles de l’Europe.
