Eva Blimlinger, Andrea B. Braidt, Karin Riegler (Series Eds.) Volume 18 On the Publication Series We are pleased to present this new volume in the publication series of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. The series, published in cooperation with our highly committed partner Sternberg Press, is devoted to central themes of con- temporary thought about art practices and art theories. The volumes in the series comprise collected contributions on subjects that form the focus of dis- course in terms of art theory, cultural studies, art history, and research at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, and represent the quintessence of international study and discussion taking place in the respective fields. Each volume is pub- lished in the form of an anthology, edited by staff members of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Authors of high international repute are invited to write contri- butions dealing with the respective areas of emphasis. Research activities such as international conferences, lecture series, institute-specific research focuses, or research projects serve as points of departure for the individual volumes. With Spaces of Commoning: Artistic Research and the Utopia of the Everyday, we are launching volume eighteen of the series. The book presents the results of a research project that has been conducted at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna over the last two years. The project was funded by the WWTF the Vienna Sci- ence and Technology Fund through the funding program “Public Spaces in Transition (2013).” The project, headed by Anette Baldauf, professor at the Insti- tute for Art Theory and Cultural Studies at the Academy, and Stefan Gruber, then professor at the Institute for Art and Architecture at the Academy, brought together an international group of artistic researchers who developed case studies as tools for research into the question of “commoning,” case studies that looked closely at the history of commoning practices in Austria, in Ethio- pia, and in other selected places around the world—for example, on the island of Lesvos, Greece. It is not always the case that recent political developments make research ques- tions and research topics, which are formulated in regard to the state of the art of research, timely in an almost extreme way. In the summer of 2015, when thousands of refugees who had fled from Syria to seek asylum in safe places reached Austria, questions of commoning and of sharing became much more than an academic interest. The research project “Spaces of Commoning” reacted to this development in many ways, and we are happy that this in- depth publication was produced to tackle the many different aspects of the phenomenon in question. We thank the editors of this volume, the Spaces of Commoning research group, for bringing together this wide range of expertise, and for doing this as a group. And we thank, as usual, our partner, Sternberg Press, for publishing our series. The Rectorate of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna Eva Blimlinger, Andrea B.

Ultra-red 186 Stefano Harney 11 What collects in a collective? I believe the Spaces of Commoning collective poses this question in the collection that follows. It is a collection that at first What Collects sight might be misrecognized, so familiar is the form of collected studies. Indeed, rather than approaching what follows as a common collection of studies, one might instead approach these essays as studies that collect the common. One might unlearn some of our assumptions about the autonomy of studies in a collection. One might then begin to hear in common some- in a Collective? thing that collects in these studies. One can begin to cross these studies, to cruise them for what collects. One begins to unsettle oneself as a way to move through this collection, in a movement of what collects. As we do we Stefano Harney start to feel that we are collected by cruising this collection. We are brought together by what follows, by what we let follow us, collect us. We are brought together in study by these studies. And to be brought together in study is to let oneself be collected. It is the act of allowing oneself to be collected. This is the act of study. To be brought together in the Merkato in Addis Ababa or in the archive of Llano del Rio in California, or the settlers’ movement in Vienna is to let go of one’s collected self. It is to be neither calm nor collected. It is to allow oneself to be uncollected, unclaimed by oneself, awaiting collection. To enter into study with Casco in the Netherlands, or Ultra-red in the United Kingdom, to be collected by Queer Base in Austria, or by Ethiopian university colleagues in a meda in the midst of a city is to feel the unsettling movement of coming together in study with others, of allowing oneself to de-collect in this collection. To become the site for collection, to be collected by collection is to cease to be the collector; that is, to cease to be the collector of oneself as the pre- tense for collecting others. It is a pretense because the collection of the self is always the collection of others and therefore never the collected self, never the self-collected authority to collect others. But it is a powerful pretense. It is the kind of pretense that thrives off the idea of a collection of studies. Here the study stands for the self-collected authority of the researcher who is ca- pable of entering into collection with others based on his own calm and col- lected will, a will authorized by his authoritative study. This is at the same time the kind of powerful pretense to the authority of a collector who seeks to bring together studies in such a collection. But there is no such pretense here: one does not find a collection to call one’s own; one does not come to own what one collects, nor does collection become the act of seizure, the right to ownership, or the ownership of such rights.

  • Garden Cities Located in What Now Are the Suburbs of Berlin
    focus | 2009 | volume VI 53 GAR D EN CITIES: LESSONS FROM GERMANY Kar L ECKE R T Karl Eckert is a senior at Ebenezer Howard’s lessons and the Garden City movement spread throughout Europe the BCRP program, City between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. In this article, Karl Eckert and Regional Planning Department, Cal Poly. discusses the origins of the movement and the translation of the concept to Germany. During a recent trip, he visited and studied tSiemensstadt and Britz, two garden cities located in what now are the suburbs of Berlin. In reading the book Cities of Tomorrow by Sir Peter Hall, one comes to realize the profession of planning is a relatively new field of expertise. Modern day city planning stems from the early 1900’s when the societies of the developing world were dealing with the menace of the urban slum, a new phenomenon spurred by industrial forces and a rise in migratory populations to major city centers for employment. Developing ideas that would counter-attack this dire urban condition would soon define and establish what is known today as city planning. Life in the Slums Peter Hall’s Cities of Tomorrow elaborates on how, during the period of 1880 to 1920, major cities such as London, Berlin, Paris and New York experienced complications with slum populations. These cities exhibited high concentrations of poor residents within areas defined by the lack of physical maintenance, crowded conditions, disregard for sanitation, and general social decline. Andrew Figure 1 Mearns, a pamphlet writer of the time, described the slums of London with clarity: The Siemens factory, which was the main employment outlet “Few who read these pages have any conception of what these pestilential human rookeries for those living in are, where tens of thousands are crowded together amidst horrors which call to mind what we Seimensstadt.

  • From the Garden City Movement Onwards
    From the Garden City Movement Onwards Utopianism in British Garden Cities Rick William Moerman Department of Human Geography Examiner: Mads Barbesgaard SGEM08 Supervisor: Anders Lund Hansen Spring 2020 2 Abstract With the publication of Garden Cities of To-Morrow in 1898, Ebenezer Howard gave the go-ahead to the Garden City Movement. Howard’s concept of the garden city arose from his anti-capitalist critiques. Many industrial cities in the United Kingdom were facing urbanization problems, leading to the working class living in terrible circumstances in the suburban areas. This process caused a poor quality of life, housing shortages, polluted air and water and a lack of access to nature. At the same time, the countryside lacked career opportunities and a lack of (cultural) amusement. Howard proposed the garden city as a new alternative to both ways of living. A garden city would have a green character and a blooming cultural life. Surrounding greenbelts and enough job opportunities would make the city self-sustainable. The reactions to Howard’s utopian ideas were mainly positive, leading to the construction of two garden cities in the United Kingdom. Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City were located close to London and offered a way of living as proposed by Howard. These projects were considered successful, leading to the establishment of the related New Town Movement. This movement eventually led to the creation of 28 new and self-sustaining towns all over the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the two original garden cities had developed into rich commuter towns which had become too expansive for the working class population.

    OLMSTED TRACT; Torrance, California 2011 – 2013 SURVEY OF HISTORIC RESOURCES II. HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT A. Torrance and Garden City Movement: The plan for the original City of Torrance, known as the Olmsted Tract, owes its origins to a movement that begin in England in the late 19th Century. Sir Ebenezer Howard published his manifesto “Garden Cities of To-morrow" in 1898 where he describes a utopian city in which man lives harmoniously together with the rest of nature. The London suburbs of Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City were the first built examples of garden city planning and became a model for urban planners in America. In 1899 Ebenezer founded the Garden City Association to promote his idea for the Garden City ‘in which all the advantages of the most energetic town life would be secured in perfect combination with all the beauty and delight of the country.” His notions about the integration of nature with town planning had profound influence on the design of cities and the modern suburb in the 20th Century. Examples of Garden City Plans in America include: Forest Hills Gardens, New York (by Fredrick Law Olmsted Jr.); Radburn, New Jersey; Shaker Heights, Ohio; Baldwin Hills Village, in Los Angeles, California and Greenbelt, Maryland. Fredrick Law Olmsted is considered to be the father of the landscape architecture profession in America. He had two sons that inherited his legacy and firm. They practiced as the Olmsted Brothers of Brookline Massachusetts. Fredrick Law Olmsted Junior was a founding member of The National Planning Institute of America and was its President from 1910 to 1919.

  • Foundations of Modern American City Planning
    FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN AMERICAN CITY PLANNING Most historians agree that modern American city planning began in the late 1800’s. Some affix the date to 1893 and the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, though there is less orthodoxy regarding this moment than 15 years ago. In contrast to the earlier Colonial planning period (Philadelphia, Savannah, Williamsburg, etc.) wherein plans preceded development, planning in the 1800s generally responded to the urbanization stimulated by the industrial revolution in existing and haphazardly developing cities. The American Industrial Revolution occurred in two waves, the first in 1820-1870 and the second in 1870-1920. The U.S. grew from 7% urban in 1820 to 25% urban in 1870 and 50% urban in 1920. Several social movements categorized as precursors to modern American city planning (public health, sanitary reform, settlement house and housing reform, parks planning) responded to the challenges and consequences of chaotic urbanization prior to modern planning’s beginnings. The City Beautiful movement was a fifth response at about the same time that modern planning began. The Garden Cities Movement simultaneously commenced in England and was imported soon after. American planning grew out of and hoped to provide a broader, more comprehensive vision to these movements. Five interrelated and overlapping 1.

  • Bodies and Nature in International Garden City Movement Planning, 1898-1937
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ACTS OF LIVELIHOOD: BODIES AND NATURE IN INTERNATIONAL GARDEN CITY MOVEMENT PLANNING, 1898-1937 Samuel M. Clevenger Doctor of Philosophy, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor David L. Andrews Department of Kinesiology Urban planning and reform scholars and policymakers continue to cite the “garden city” community model as a potential blueprint for planning environmentally sustainable, economically equitable, humane built environments. Articulated by the British social reformer Sir Ebenezer Howard and his 1898 book To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform, the model represented a method for uniting the benefits of town and country through a singular, pre-planned, “healthy” community, balancing spaces of “countryside” and “nature” with affordable, well-built housing and plentiful cultural attractions associated with city life. The book catalyzed an early twentieth-century international movement for the promotion and construction of garden cities. Howard’s garden city remains a highly influential context in the history of town planning and urban public health reform, as well as more recent environmentally-friendly urban design movements. To date, while historians have long examined the garden city as an agent of social and spatial reform, little analysis has been devoted to the role of prescribed embodiment and deemed “healthy” physical cultural forms and practices in the promotion and construction of garden cities as planned communities for “healthy living.” Informed by recent scholarship in Physical Cultural Studies (PCS), embodied environmental history, cultural materialism, and theories of modern biopower, this dissertation studies the cultural history of international garden city movement planning in early twentieth century Britain and the United States.

    ‘Garden City’:The Suitability of Its Principles as a Model to The Contemporary Planning (Evalina Z dan Husnus S) ‘GARDEN CITY’: THE SUITABILITY OF ITS PRINCIPLES AS A MODEL TO THE CONTEMPORARY PLANNING Evalina Z. dan Husnus Sawab Jurusan Arsitektur Universitas Syiah Kula Banda Aceh [email protected] & [email protected] ABSTRACT. Garden City is an urban planning concept that adopted from of Ebenezer Howard who developed the idea of garden cities as a way towards a better and brighter civilization. This article discuss the Garden City concept as associated to planning evolution and describes the later changes in approach to planning better cities in current circumstances. Based on arguments from some experts and evidence derived from practice, Garden City is the novel idea that has a unique presentation because of its simplicity and range of details which consist of three main elements including decentralization, garden and city or in simple terms are location, physical design and community ownership. These days, while in some extent the Garden City idea is still attractive especially in terms of the idea of green design and social city model, the appropriateness of the Garden City idea to contemporarycopyright planning seems invalid. The Garden City concepts such as decentralization, low density, self-containment communities, new settlements and proportion of population to land are not anymore fit with current situation which is urban population growth rapidly imbalance with land availability. Urban concept today tends to consider environmental approach in order to gain sustainable goals such as ‘compact city’ concept in planning the better city. The Garden City has a valuable contribution to evolution of urban and regional planning approach, but it is not entirely relevant to the contemporary planning approach.
