Contemporary Architecture CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE UNIT-1 M T V REDDY Challenging CIAM declaration Team X and Brutalism Writings of jane Jacobs Robert venturi Christopher alexander CIAM’s Declaration (1928) Translated by Michael Bullock. From Programs and Manifestoes on 20th-Century Architecture. (The MIT Press. Cambridge, MA: 1971). The undersigned architects, representing the national groups of modern architects, affirm their unity of viewpoint regarding the fundamental conceptions of architecture and their professional obligations towards society. They insist particularly on the fact that “building” is an elementary activity of man intimately linked with evolution and the development of human life. The destiny of architecture is to express the orientation of the age. Works of architecture can spring only from the present time. They therefore refuse categorically to apply in their working methods means that may have been able to illustrate past societies; they affirm today the need for a new conception of architecture that satisfies the spiritual, intellectual, and material demands of present-day life. Conscious of the deep disturbances of the social structure brought about by machines, they recognize that the transformation of the economic order and of social life inescapably brings with it a corresponding transformation of the architectural phenomenon. The intention that brings them together here is to attain the indispensable and urgent harmonization of the elements involved by replacing architecture on its true plane, the economic, and sociological plane. Thus architecture must be set free from the sterilizing grip of the academies that are concerned with preserving the formulas of the past. Animated by this conviction, they declare themselves members of an association and will give each other mutual support on the international plane with a view to realizing their aspirations morally and materially. I. General Economic System 1. The idea of modern architecture includes the link between the phenomenon of architecture and that of the general economic system. 2. The idea of “economic efficiency” does not imply production furnishing maximum commercial profit, but production demanding a minimum working effort. 3. The need for maximum economic efficiency is the inevitable result of the impoverished state of the general economy. 4. The most efficient method of production is that which arises from rationalization and standardization. Rationalization and standardization act directly on working methods both in modern architecture (conception) and in the building industry (realization). 5. Rationalization and standardization react in a threefold manner: (a) they demand of architecture conceptions leading to simplification of working methods on the site and in the factory; (b) they mean for building firms a reduction in the skilled labor force; they lead to the employment of less specialized labor working under the direction of highly skilled technicians; (c) they expect from the consumer (that is to say the customer who orders the house in which he will live) a revision of his demands in the direction of a readjustment to the new conditions of social life. Such a revision will be manifested in the reduction of certain individual needs henceforth devoid of real justification; the benefits of this reduction will foster the maximum satisfaction of the needs of the greatest number, which are at present restricted. 6. Following the dissolution of the guilds, the collapse of the class of skilled craftsmen is an accomplished fact. The inescapable consequence of the development of the machine has led to industrial methods of production different from and often opposed to those of the craftsmen. Until recently, thanks to the teaching of the academies, the architectural conception has been inspired chiefly by the methods of craftsmen and not by the new industrial methods. This contradiction explains the profound disorganization of the art of building. 7. It is urgently necessary for architecture, abandoning the outmoded conceptions connected with the class of craftsmen, henceforth to rely upon the present realities of industrial technology, even though such an attitude must perforce lead to products fundamentally different from those of past epochs. II. Town Planning 1. Town planning is the organization of the functions of collective life; it extends both the urban agglomerations and the countryside. Town planning is the organization of life in all regions. Urbanization cannot be conditioned by the claims of pre-existent aestheticism: its essence is of a functional order. 2. This order includes three functions: (a) dwelling, (b) producing, (c) relaxation (the maintenance of the species). Its essential objects are: (a) division of the soil, (b) organization of traffic, (c) legislation. 3. The relationships between the inhabited areas, the cultivated areas (including sports) and the traffic areas are dictated by the economic and social environment. The fixing of population densities establishes the indispensable classification. The chaotic division of land, resulting from sales, speculations, inheritances, must be abolished by a collective and methodical land policy. The redistribution of the land, the indispensable preliminary basis for any town planning, must include the just division between the owners and the community of the unearned increment resulting from works of joint interest. 4. Traffic control must take in all the functions of collective life. The growing intensity of these vital functions, always checked against a reading of statistics, demonstrates the supreme importance of the traffic phenomenon. 5. Present-day technical facilities, which are constantly growing, are the very key to town planning. They imply and offer a total transformation of existing legislation; this transformation must run parallel with technical progress. III. Architecture and Public Opinion 1. It is essential today for architects to exercise an influence on public opinion by informing the public of the fundamentals of the new architecture. Through the baneful effects of academic teaching, opinion has strayed into an erroneous conception of the dwelling. The true problems of the dwelling have been pushed back behind entirely artificial sentimental conceptions. The problem of the house is not posed. Clients, whose demands are motivated by numerous factors that have nothing to do with the real problem of housing, are generally very bad at formulating their wishes. Opinion has gone astray. Thus the architect satisfies the normal prerequisites of housing only poorly. This inefficiency involves the country in an immense expense that is a total loss. The tradition is created of the expensive house, the building of which deprives a large part of the population of healthy living quarters. Through educational work carried out in schools, a body of fundamental truths could be established forming the basis for a domestic science (for example: the general economy of the dwelling, the principles of property and its moral significance, the effects of sunlight, the ill effects of darkness, essential hygiene, rationalization of household economics, the use of mechanical devices in domestic life, etc.). 3. The effect of such an education would be to bring up generations with a healthy and rational conception of the house. These generations (the [112] architect’s future clients) would be capable of correctly stating the problem of housing. IV. Architecture and Its Relations with the State 1. Modern architects having the firm intention of working according to the new principles can only regard the official academies and their methods tending towards aestheticism and formalism as institutions standing in the way of progress. 2. These academies, by definition and by function, are the guardians of the past. They have established dogmas of architecture based on the practical and aesthetic methods of historical periods. Academies vitiate the architect’s vocation at its very origin. 3. In order to guarantee the country’s prosperity, therefore, States must tear the teaching of architecture out of the grip of the academies. The past teaches us precisely that nothing remains, that everything evolves, and that progress constantly advances. 4. States, henceforth withdrawing their confidence from the academies, must revise the methods of teaching architecture and concern themselves with all those questions whose object is to endow the country with the most productive and most advanced system of organization. 5. Academicism causes States to spend considerable sums on the erection of monumental buildings, contrary to the efficient utilization of resources, making a display of outmoded luxury at the expense of the most urgent tasks of town planning and housing. 6. Within the same order of ideas, all the prescriptions of the State which, in one form or another, tend to influence architecture by giving it a purely aesthetic direction are an obstacle to its development and must be vigorously combated. 7. Architecture’s new attitude, according to which it aims of its own volition to re-situate itself within economic reality, renders all claims to official patronage superfluous. 8. If States were to adopt an attitude opposite to their present one they would bring about a veritable architectural renaissance that would take place quite naturally within the general orientation of the country’s economic and social development. June 28th, 1928 The Declaration was signed by the following architects: H.P. Berlage

  • 'Forum' Architectural Journal As an Educational
    ‘FORUM’ ARCHITECTURAL JOURNAL AS AN EDUCATIONAL AND SPREADING MEDIA IN THE NETHERLANDS Influences on Herman Hertzberger Rebeca Merino del Río Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura, Universidad de Sevilla / Superior Technical School of Architecture, University of Seville, Seville, Spain Abstract In the sixties, the journal Forum voor Architectuur en Daarmee Verbonden Kunsten becomes the media employed by the Dutch wing of Team 10 to lecture on and spread the new architectural theories developed after the dissolution of C.I.A.M. Aldo van Eyck and Jaap Bakema head the editorial board in between 1959 and 1967. The editorial approach gravitates towards the themes defended by these young architects in the last meetings of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, accompanied by the analysis of works of architecture that, in the editorial board’s opinion, give a correct response to the epoch’s needs. Moreover, the permeability and cross-sectional nature of the content, bring the editors’ board closer to the European architectural, cultural and artistic avant-garde. Thus, it is appreciated that similar theoretical assumptions than the ones that gave support to the different revolts that happened in Paris, London and Amsterdam between 1966 and 1968 underlie in great part of the journal’s writings. Its content is aligned parallel to the revolutionary phenomenon, contributing to some degree to it. Herman Hertzberger, a young architect who worked for years as a part of the editorial board, was highly influenced by the contents of the journal. His later dedication to education as professor at Delft University of Technology, and his association with Dutch Structuralism as well, turn him a key figure to study, because of the determining role of Forum’s acquired knowledge in his future professional activity.

  • BREAKING BARRIERS Giancarlo De Carlo from CIAM to ILAUD Lorenzo
    BREAKING BARRIERS Giancarlo De Carlo from CIAM to ILAUD Lorenzo Grieco Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata / University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy Abstract After World War II, the inflexibility characterizing the first CIAM congresses soon become unsustainable, provoking the criticism of Team 10, active from 1953 for a reform of the congress. The participated discourse of the group, “considering the characteristics of society and individuals”, would be inherited, years later, by the International Laboratory of Architecture and Urban Design (ILAUD), founded by Giancarlo De Carlo in 1976. The laboratory, together with the magazine Spazio e Società (1978-2001), called back to De Carlo’s operative militancy in Team 10, expressing a brand-new approach to urban studies. As De Carlo himself affirmed: “Some messages of Team 10 have been gathered in ILAUD […] but ILAUD and Team 10 are different things”. Indeed, the laboratory strongly pushed on the dimension of the project and on the students’ collective contribution. The project was no more an end point but became the tool through which every possible solution to the problem could be tested. Courses at ILAUD were given by international professionals like Aldo Van Eyck, Peter Smithson, Renzo Piano, Sverre Fehn and Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi, some already in Team 10. The laboratory formed many young students, and several would have become internationally-recognized professionals -e.g. Eric Miralles, Carme Pinos, Santiago Calatrava, Mario Cucinella-. The paper wants to consider the contribution of ILAUD to urban studies and didactics through the examination of the rich material (annual publications, posters, projects, photos, etc.) collected in the archive of the Biblioteca Poletti in Modena.

  • Revisiting Giancarlo De Carlo's Participatory Design Approach
    heritage Article Revisiting Giancarlo De Carlo’s Participatory Design Approach: From the Representation of Designers to the Representation of Users Marianna Charitonidou 1,2,3 1 Department of Architecture, Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (GTA), ETH Zurich, Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, CH 8093 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, National Technical University of Athens, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece 3 Faculty of Art History and Theory, Athens School of Fine Arts, 42 Patission Street, 106 82 Athens, Greece Abstract: The article examines the principles of Giancarlo De Carlo’s design approach. It pays special attention to his critique of the modernist functionalist logic, which was based on a simplified understanding of users. De Carlo0s participatory design approach was related to his intention to replace of the linear design process characterising the modernist approaches with a non-hierarchical model. Such a non-hierarchical model was applied to the design of the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti in Terni among other projects. A characteristic of the design approach applied in the case of the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti is the attention paid to the role of inhabitants during the different phases of the design process. The article explores how De Carlo’s “participatory design” criticised the functionalist approaches of pre-war modernist architects. It analyses De Carlo’s theory and describes how it was made manifest in his architectural practice—particularly in the design for the Nuovo Villaggio Matteotti and the master plan for Urbino—in his teaching and exhibition activities, and in the manner his buildings were photographs and represented through drawings and sketches.

  • The Politics of Friends in Modern Architecture, 1949-1987”
    Title: “The politics of friends in modern architecture, 1949-1987” Name of candidate: Igea Santina Troiani, B. Arch, B. Built Env. Supervisor: Professor Jennifer Taylor This thesis was submitted as part of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Design, Queensland University of Technology in 2005 i Key words Architecture - modern architecture; History – modern architectural history, 1949-1987; Architects - Alison Smithson, Peter Smithson, Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, Elia Zenghelis, Rem Koolhaas, Philosophy - Jacques Derrida, Politics of friendship; Subversive collaboration ii Abstract This thesis aims to reveal paradigms associated with the operation of Western architectural oligarchies. The research is an examination into “how” dominant architectural institutions and their figureheads are undermined through the subversive collaboration of younger, unrecognised architects. By appropriating theories found in Jacques Derrida’s writings in philosophy, the thesis interprets the evolution of post World War II polemical architectural thinking as a series of political friendships. In order to provide evidence, the thesis involves the rewriting of a portion of modern architectural history, 1949-1987. Modern architectural history is rewritten as a series of three friendship partnerships which have been selected because of their subversive reaction to their respective establishments. They are English architects, Alison Smithson and Peter Smithson; South African born architect and planner, Denise Scott Brown and North American architect, Robert Venturi; and Greek architect, Elia Zenghelis and Dutch architect, Rem Koolhaas. Crucial to the undermining of their respective enemies is the friends’ collaboration on subversive projects. These projects are built, unbuilt and literary. Warring publicly through the writing of seminal texts is a significant step towards undermining the dominance of their ideological opponents.

The approach is called utopia-driven projective research and is the result of a process of reflection on a number of conceptual design projects the author participated in. The research builds on the idea of 'theory- through-design' and shows how the projects are brought into interaction with theoretical frameworks that serve as another kind of design perspectives. Through the process of abstraction and extraction that is thus set in place, the core elements, both on the level of the subject-matter and on the level of the design approach, were distilled from the projects and developed into a research topic and research approach. The development of utopia-driven projective research must be seen against the backdrop of the general condition of unsettlement our society finds itself in – a condition that raises the issue of how to maintain the habitability of our world(s).
