  • Modern Architecture and Modern Furniture
    Modern Architecture and Modern Furniture 14 docomomo 46 — 2012/1 docomomo46.indd 14 25/07/12 11:13 odern architecture and Modern furniture originated almost during the same period of time. Modern architects needed furniture compatible with their architecture and because Mit was not available on the market, architects had to design it themselves. This does not only apply for the period between 1920 and 1940, as other ambitious architectures had tried be- fore to present their buildings as a unit both on the inside and on the outside. For example one can think of projects by Berlage, Gaudí, Mackintosh or Horta or the architectures of Czech Cubism and the Amsterdam School. This phenomenon originated in the 19th century and the furniture designs were usually developed for the architect’s own building designs and later offered to the broader consumer market, sometimes through specialized companies. This is the reason for which an agree- ment between the architect and the commissioner was needed, something which was not always taken for granted. By Otakar M á c ˆe l he museum of Czech Cubism has its headquarters designed to fit in the interior, but a previous epitome of De in the Villa Bauer in Liboˇrice, a building designed Stijl principles that culminated in the Schröderhuis.

A sa dix-septième session à Carthagène, en décembre 1993, le Comité a exprimé sa préoccupation quant au petit nombre de listes indicatives qui répondaient aux exigences stipulées aux paragraphes 7 et 8 des Orientations, et il a confirmé l'importance de ces listes pour la planification, l'analyse comparative des propositions d'inscription et la réalisation des études globales et thématiques. Ces listes constituent en outre un inventaire des biens situés sur le territoire de chaque Etat partie que ce dernier considère comme susceptibles d'être inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Le Comité a également confirmé que les listes indicatives sont obligatoires pour les biens culturels pour lesquels les Etats parties ont l'intention de soumettre des propositions d'inscription sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial dans les cinq à dix prochaines années. 2. En conséquence, le Comité a invité les Etats parties qui ne l'avaient pas encore fait, à soumettre leurs listes indicatives conformément aux Orientations, étant entendu qu’ "une assistance préparatoire sera fournie si nécessaire et à la demande de l'Etat partie concerné".

  • Early Experiments in Low-Rise Social Housing in the Netherlands: Brinkman and Oud by Carla Scura
    Early experiments in low-rise social housing in the Netherlands: Brinkman and Oud by Carla Scura Rotterdam, still a medium-sized town even though it is the second city of the Netherlands and the most important port of Europe, can be visited very easily on foot or by tram in a fairly short time. For example, two social housing experiments dating back to the early 20th century that are located in different parts of the town can be comfortably reached and visited in the space of a few hours. These are the Spangen complex, designed and realized by architect Michiel Brinkman in 1919-21, and the Kiefhoek neighbourhood, created by J.J.P. Oud in 1925-27, i.e. two pioneering specimens of social housing at the time of their planning and construction. More specifically, the experimental quality of these two urban complexes falls under the architectural research conducted in the low-rise, high-density dimension of social housing, especially as far as Brinkman’s estate is concerned. This is also a line of scientific research pursued by Embrice2030 with different initiatives, including an exhibition on the work of Italian architect Paolo Meluzzi <embrice2030.com/2018/02/14/paolo-meluzzi-e-il-dibattito-low-rise-high-density-1990-2000- inaugurazione-mercoledi-21-febbraio-2018-17-30/>; a book with a focus on his life and career <embrice2030.com/embrice-formato-a-tema/>, item 014; and, so far, a reportage on a typical 1970’s social housing estate in London <embrice2030.com/2019/02/08/low-rise-in-the-sky-le-avventure-di-un- complesso-di-edilizia-residenziale-pubblica-a-londra-dagli-anni-settanta-a-oggi/>.
