A case Study; People’s Palace

A case study of 20th century designs of buildings for assembly, practicing politics, exchanging knowledge and recreation. This work is not intended to fully reconstruct the history and architectural typology of the people’s palace.

By first constructing a framework of the changing society in the 20th century, and it’s relation to the shifts in economic and political structures, it presents case-studies of 8 buildings that in their own way illustrate the conflict between ideology, form, representation and function. Specifics of the building’s political itscontext physical and appearance,its architecture related are usedto the to intended construct client. an argument that helps the formation of an idea of what the architect’s intentions means for a structure and

Emerging from the revolution, 1917 an event organized by the Bolsheviks and worker’s councils, the redistributionthe land of and formation of the newly found USSR demanded new buildings to promote the ideology of communism. This is one of main reasons to doubt the construction of such a heroic role to these artists, (almost) all their work had been state-funded, and while the leaders were sometimes criticalabout it, they saw something in the avant-garde role as a representation of the new empire. By “liberating art from the ballast of representationalworld”, as Kazimir Malevich put it, the Suprematism movement invented a whole new language for artist and architects to apply from which the Constructivistemerged. architects Combining engineering and advanced technologywith a dominant Communist social purpose, then translating it in to strong minimal geometry. This is where the ability to appropriate becomes vulnerable, and can get lostin the process of designing something distinct from whatwe know. Stating that art should not relate to our represen tational world and then transforming it into a vessel for an ideology, reaches a point of conflict that puts the creative in tentions face to face with the ability to use –, and relate to it. The strong geometrical forms provide an identity that isalmost impregnable, raising the question if the representation of the ideology and constructivist style has madehard it to see the building as something that is appropriable. Though the influence on the architectural field has provenenormous over the years, the relation to human beings dwelling in a structure is pushed aside by emphasizing over form rather than use. - 1927 Russian State Workers in Rusakov Area 10.000 +/- 15

Still one of the most striking examples of constructivist ar chitecture, the Rusakov Worker’s Club combines the strong architectural geometry of the Russian avant-gardemarginalized with the idea of the monolithic communist state.Situated on the corner of a large crossing, the Club was intended for the workers of a printing factory just outside of the city center of Moscow. The plan is composed of a semi- circular base with three cantilevering blocks reachingtowards out the street, giving it a striking form when viewedupon from the side, and a formal appearance from the front. The building’s shape gives it a strong hierarchy, which is not only apparent in the representation but also in the use. Entering the building can be done through one of the main doors on street level, or through the smaller doors on the large balcony, referring to a historic Moscovian buildingtype. The program of the building is straightforward; allattention the is brought to the stage which is situated at the point within the building where all lines cross. The threecantilevering volumes are rows of seating looking out towards it, and the central area below it can be used as an open space or for additional seating in case it fulfills itsas role a theater. Walking from outside to the main stage takes you through narrow hallways and staircases, which passthrough larger spaces that offer a moment to experience the opening up of the geometrically structured space. completion: completion: by who: for who: how many:

An interesting architectural and political aspectthe distinction that makes between a state entity and a civil movementvisible, is the entrance. The Belgische Werkliedenpartijwas always at the edge of legality, soldiers and other civil servants were not allowed in the Maison du Peuple by the state and would be arrested if they would enter. They were constantly under surveillance by the police, and this repression meant that the door was not open to everyone all the time. In the Casa del Fascio the entrance within the façade facing Como’s large Piazza del Popolo, is made up out of a wide,small stair leading up to a 18 glass doors that could all simultaneously be opened towards the square. This displayof transparency towards the working of the Fascist stateits for citizens can be used to argue that this building is moreinclusive to everyone active in civil society and the execu perimeter. The amount of windows and entrance of daylight through the atrium gave a transparent and open effect,while the facades both had a monumental appearance, one being very rational and the other more organic. The main difference remains that while Horta’s Maison du Peuple was intended for a socialist movement, and funded by its member(s), the Casa del Fascio was a monument construct tion of politics, for it does not exclude. With the knowledge that the fascist state only wanted peopleto live accordingto the states rules and repression, this argument is lostyou if want to create a building that helps emancipate your citizens and help them become self-aware citizens, activethe in construction of a public realm that enables self-actualization and so on. Whether it’s a people’s movement, or a fascist regime, the same architectural ideas and strategies can be appliedthe totally for opposite purposes. Although your intentions as an architect can lead you to make certain decisions, some one with the totally opposite ideals might draw the same conclusions based on different facts.

port the same design arguments for the opposite purpose. If it hadnot been built as a commission by the fascist state, it could have been included as a prime example of a public building designed by an architect of the Italian Rationalistmovement. While the Italian Cooperative movement a strong civil forceall over , Benito Mussolini and his fascist party werewinning power in the political institutions. His sloganto encapsulate tried the social aspects that were so prominentlyvisible in the cooperative movements, and frame them within his inclusive vision of the fascist state: “Everythingin the State, nothing outside the State, nothing againstState”. the This repressive idea is hard to reflect in architecture, and while Terragni was one of the key architects in the Italian Rationalist movement who did strongly advocatethe same ideals represented by Mussolini, architecturalform can be used for the same purpose with different ideals.Because the state declared all social cooperative activitiesillegal, the casa del popolo became an illegal entity in thedaily life of the workers who used it for their social and political activities, and Mussolini attempted to replaceinstitutional its value with his monumental Casa’s del Fascio,representing his (states) power. trans lated the ideals of the Fascist state into architecture,the following with description as support: “Fascism, a house of glass into which everyone can see, giving rise to this whollyfaithful interpretation: no encumbrance, no barrier,obstacle no between the political leaders and their people.” Comparing the Casa del Fascio to Victor Horta’s Maison du Peuple leads to finding many similarities, while they represented a completely opposite entity. Both were constructedaround a central atrium which was intended for assembly, with different functions (offices, social services) in the The only building in this book that is certainly not a people’s palace is the Casa del Fascio by Giuseppe Terragni, but it is included for its relevance in the historical context and to construct an argument that architectural ideology can sup completion: completion: by who: for who: how many: 1927 Moscow 1927 Moscow 1927 Moscow 1927 1927 Moscow Moscow 1927

Together they were responsible for the first curtain-wall façade in France, and they inventedtricks many to make the central space in the building flexibledifferent for uses. The ability of the building to open and let light in through the facades, move the floor and fold out the seats so that the central space would be totally open, and even the possibility to open the roof, were all totally new and revolutionary. The intention and execution of the use of the most modern, technical innovations in a building intended only for a public purpose is unique, and worthy of pursuing. For this specific building they worked together with thewell-known furniture and industrial designer Jeanand Prouvé, the aeronautic engineer Vladimir Bodiansky. The combination of the man who is still seen as a founding father of building pre-fab structures, and someone able tocalculate and design the limits of the then rather novel steelstructures, were the grounds for a very high-tech, archi - - 1938 xxxx xxxx xxxx 23

Uniting many aspects of the progress made before the war in one building, the Maison du Peuple in Clichy is a protago nist of modern architecture made for general use by the people. Not only containing many technological novelties,the program and architecture is progressive in everyaspect. It was designed for the people of a new development in a banlieue of Paris, built around the old town of Clichy. Trying to grasp every aspect of social life within a town,conveying and it within one building, the program existeda covered out of market, shops, offices and a large central hall fortheater, cinema and meetings. Constructed by four engineers, it is full of technologicalimprovements that correspond with the line of work of the different designers, and a sum of the qualities that they brought to the table. The main architects for the build ing were Marcel Lods en Eugène Beaudoin, who worked together in a firm that helped develop the French branch of modernist architecture. They were known for a strongsocial agenda and tried to build architecture that wouldserve everyone’s well-being, and bring some of the richness of the new technology to the common people. They were mainly involved in projects commissioned by the state in which they could express their progressive agenda, like their famous open air school in Suresenes, another town on Ile-de-France. the completion: completion: by who: for who: how many:
