A cidade, que apresenta expressiva tradição de vanguarda arquitetônica, inaugurou em 1957 a Interbau (Internationale Bauausstellung), a primeira Exposição Internacional de Arquitetura ocorrida após a II Guerra Mundial. Inserida na Berlim Ocidental, que então desejava refletir uma nova sociedade, livre e democrática, a Interbau enquadra-se dentro do contexto estabelecido no pós-guerra de implementação de grandes projetos de destruição da antiga organização de ruas e praças. Para tanto, a exposição utilizou-se do lema “a cidade do amanhã” (die Stadt von Morgen) entre suas premissas básicas para reconstruir o Hansaviertel, bairro em grande parte destruído pelos bombardeios da II Guerra Mundial, e exemplificar o que de melhor a arquitetura e o urbanismo modernos ofereciam em termos de habitação social. De localização extremamente central na cidade, junto ao parque Tiergarten, o Hansaviertel possuia, antes da destruição, uma configuração oitocentista, sendo sua formação original bastante integrada ao tecido urbano tradicional então predominante na cidade. O arranjo urbanístico do novo Hansaviertel é definido através de um concurso realizado em 1953. No entanto, sua reconstrução já havia sido pensada, antes mesmo de sua ligação com a realização de uma exposição de arquitetura, como adversário moderno para a construção da Stalinallee – avenida de proporções monumentais, com eixos hierarquicamente organizados e uma arquitetura eclético-acadêmica, que é reflexo do sistema socialista então vigente na Berlim Oriental. Assim, a exposição trouxe para o parque Tiergarten um modelo de urbanismo que expressa também uma clara oposição política ao regime socialista. O projeto vencedor do concurso urbanístico, de autoria de Gerhard Jobst e Willy Kreuer, sofre diversas modificações que objetivaram, principalmente, introduzir uma maior variedade de tipologias residenciais. O projeto final priorizou a implantação dos edifícios dentro de uma ampla área verde, bem como a adoção de distintas tipologias dentro de uma mesma lógica de composição, como forma de exemplificar as alternativas que se apresentam para habitar em uma cidade moderna. Assim, a reconstrução moderna do Hansaviertel não objetivou resgatar o padrão urbano ou edílico do local, uma vez que foi implantada em uma área de densa urbanização, cujas ruas e quarteirões são bem definidos pelo alinhamento dos prédios. O presente estudo tem por objetivo, a partir da análise do projeto urbanístico para o Hansaviertel e dos projetos dos edifícios individualmente, retratar a viabilidade da coexistência, em um fragmento de cidade moderna, de distintas tipologias residenciais em vizinhança com uma série de equipamentos urbanos que, juntos, conferem ao bairro uma atraente diversidade tipológica e funcional. Assim, o Hansaviertel, ao exemplificar as diferentes alternativas que se apresentam para habitar em uma cidade moderna, se consolida como ideal de representação para a variedade, a heterogeneidade e a riqueza da vida urbana. 7 8 ABSTRACT The city of Berlin, the present capital of Germany, has undergone, since the end of Second World War, a unique urban process, submitting itself to plannings as a result of the needs due to the situation of destruction, and afterwards its division and reunification. The city, that presents an expressive tradition of architectural avant-garde, inaugurated in 1957 the Interbau (Internationale Bauausstellung), the first International Architecture Exhibition taking place after the Second World War. Inserted in West Berlin, that at the time wanted to reflect a new, free and democratic society, the Interbau sets itself within a post- war context characterized by the implementation of big projects that implied the destruction of the old streets and squares organization. The exhibition made use of the motto known as “the city of tomorrow” (die Stadt von Morgen) among its basic premises to rebuilt the Hansaviertel, a neighbourhood almost entirely destroyed by the war bombings, and to exemplify the best of modern architecture and urbanism offered in terms of social housing. Having an extremely central location within the city, near the Tiergarten, the Hansaviertel presented, before its destruction, an eighteenth century configuration, its original form being totally integrated in the traditional urban tissue predominant in the city. The urbanistic arrangement of the new Hansaviertel is defined through a contest that took place in 1953. Nevertheless, its reconstruction had already been thought, even before its connection with the promotion of an exhibition, as a modern counterpart to the construction of the Stalinallee – an avenue of monumental proportions, with hierarchically oriented axis and eclectic-academic architecture, reflection of the socialist system than rulling in East Berlin. So, the exhibition brought for the Tiergarten park an urbanistic model that also expresses a clear political opposition to the socialist regime. The urbanistic project winning the contest, designed by Gerhard Jobst and Willy Kreuer, has been modified through several interventions that aimed, mainly, to introduce a greater variety of residential typologies. The final project had as a priority setting the buildings amidst a large green area, as well as the adoption of different typologies within a unique logic of composition, as a way of exemplifying the possible alternatives of living in a modern city. This study aimed, based in an analysis of the Hansaviertel urbanistic project and of the individual building projects, to portray the viability of coexistence, in a fragment of the modern city, of distinct residencial typologies in a neighbourhood having several urban equipments that, together, assign the area an attractive typological and functional diversity. So, the Hansaviertel, exemplifying the diferents possibilities of living in a modern city, consolidates itself as an ideal representation for the variety, heterogeneity and richness of urban life. 9 10 SUMÁRIO • 1.

De localização extremamente central na cidade, o que de fato é hoje dele conhecido é o resultado de uma requalificação arquitetônica e urbanística realizada na década de 50 em decorrência da Interbau (Internationale Bauausstellung) - primeira Exposição Internacional de Arquitetura ocorrida após a II Guerra Mundial. A exposição, que trouxe para a paisagem do parque Tiergarten projetos de edifícios residenciais que expressam valores políticos como a liberdade e o pluralismo, utilizou-se do lema conhecido como “a cidade do amanhã” (die Stadt von Morgen) entre suas premissas básicas para a criação de uma área habitacional modelo do Movimento Moderno. Em 1953, o Senado de Berlim estabelece que a reconstrução do bairro Hansaviertel seja ligada a uma exposição internacional de arquitetura moderna.

Vorgeschichte, Themen und Konzepte. Basic questions: - What is an architecture exhibition? - How can we exhibit architecture? - What does the architecture exhibition contribute to? Statements: - Exhibitions of architecture are part of a socio-political discourse. (See Toyo Ito’s curatorial take on the Architecture Biennale in Venice in 2012 http://www.domusweb.it/en/interviews/2012/09/03/toyo-ito-home-for-all.html) - Exhibitions of architecture are model-like presentations / They should present the new directions of the discipline. (“Critical” in this context of this lecture class means: exhibitions introducing a new theoretical and / or practical concept in contrast to existing traditions) PREHISTORY I. - Model Cabinets (Modellkammer), originally established as work tools for communication purposes and as educational tools for upcoming architects / engineers. Further aspect: building up an archive of technological inventions. - Example: The medieval collection of models for towers, gates, roof structures etc. in Augsburg, hosted by the Maximilianmuseum. - Originally these cabinets were only accessible for experts, professionals, not for public view. Sources of architecture exhibitions: - Technical and constructive materials (drawings, models). They tend to be private or just semi- public collections built up with education purposes. - The first public exhibitions of these models in the arts context didn’t happen until the end of the 18th century. Occasion: Charles de Wailly exhibited a model of a staircase in an arts exhibition in 1771.

The Fagus factory, with a radical break from the conventional design practice, represents for the first time a new expression of architecture, which develops space and form from function, takes into account the light, air and lucidity require- ments of its users and makes use of the new technical possibilities of construction with glass and steel in industrially pre-produced processing. Glass, which is actually an unsubstantial material,becomes a formative building material and mode of expression of architecture.The design concepts underlying this construction had a decisive influence on the development of twentieth century architecture not only in Germany and Europe, but around the globe.

    GLOBAL HISTORY OF GLOBAL CITIES October 31, 2016 Sebastian Schmidt Fellow, Weatherhead Initiative on Global History PhD Candidate, History, Theory & Criticism, MIT Architecture [email protected] Note This paper is part of a larger project studying the relationship between WWII and cities. Specifically, I look at the ways in which urban thinking changed in response to the global scale of the war, and develop an approach of writing post-WWII urban history as global history. This paper uses the case of West Berlin to address these issues. On October 31, before the paper discussion, I will give a brief introduction explaining some of the historiographical stakes of the project. 1 Draft – do not cite or circulate Schmidt INTRODUCTION Fig. 1. Fred Thieler, Rotierend, 1959. Fred Thieler used only four colors for his 1959 painting Rotierend (Rotating)—red, white, black, and blue. (Fig. 1) The colorful contrasts, especially between the black and the brighter white and red, play an important role in revealing the mechanics of the painting’s production. Only the blue has largely sunk into the background, emerging in a few spots as a mere trace of a former 2 Draft – do not cite or circulate Schmidt participant in this labyrinthian discovery of the canvas. There is complexity at play in the relationship between color and the explorative—that is, rotating—means of its distribution. The painter’s actions on the canvas seem to work against the distinct presence of color, but they are also rendered all the more visible through the color contrasts that emerge. Color and motion are here fake opposites in that they don’t struggle with each other for domination of the canvas, but are instead intertwined in a struggle which, if it continued, has the potential to erase both of them.

    WHAT REMAINS HISTORY AND LOCATIONS OF WORLD FAIRS This is a chronological list of exhibitions and fairs held throughout the world that gained international attention. A few regional fairs are included if they were significant to the author or for showcasing emerging technology. This list is a compilation from various sources, trying to respect the capitalization traditions from the countries of origin. When controversy arises about the date or name of a fair (should the 1849 fair held in Birmingham, United Kingdom be referred to as “Exhibition of Industrial Arts and Manufacturers” or “Exposition of British Society”) a choice has been made so the checklist remains an index of fairs. Brown text indicates that the fair occurred before the Bureau international des expositions (BIE) on November 22, 1928 or was not sanctioned by them. Purple text also shows the fair was not sanctioned, but indicates there is a link to additional information researched by the author. Black text indicates a BIE sanctioned fair.

    GSAPP, Architecture Columbia University A 4352_001 Spring 2018 Mary McLeod Events in Modern Architecture, 1850–Present: Exhibitions The premise of this seminar is that certain “events” in architecture have changed architecture and ideas about modernity both within and outside of the field. In this context, “event” refers to those occasions in which both old values or modes of practice are challenged and eroded, and new possibilities or unforeseen avenues of creation emerge. Events can thus be seen as inviting a new sequence of thinking and action, one whose results might yet remain open or unknown. In architecture, these occasions have involved different aspects of the discipline, whether it be materials and technology, composition, program, social objectives, clients, or institutional parameters. The mode or form of events varies, as does the scale of the change or transformation. It might involve a seminal building or urban plan, but also a manifesto, a book, a competition, or exhibition. This seminar focuses on architecture exhibitions, a subject that has received less attention in recent architecture history surveys (in contrast to Sigfried Giedion’s Space, Time and Architecture, 1941), as well as in other classes in GSAPP. (In the future, I hope to give course on architecture competitions, as possibly one on seminal buildings or books.) The range of topics includes world’s fairs, museum exhibitions of architecture, model housing settlements, and smaller avant-garde gallery shows, such as the 1923 de Stijl exhibition in Paris or El Lissitzky and Dorner’s Abstrakt Kabinett in Hanover—all of which might be seen as important to expanding or rethinking the parameters of architecture.
