A reexamination of working-class architecture in late nineteenth-century urban America
As the multifamily building type that often symbolized urban squalor, tenements are familiar but poorly understood, frequently recognized only in terms of the housing reform movement embraced by the American-born elite in the late nineteenth century. This book reexamines urban America's tenement buildings of this period, centering on the immigrant neighborhoods of New York and Boston.
Zachary J. Violette focuses on what he calls the "decorated tenement," a wave of new buildings constructed by immigrant builders and architects who remade the slum landscapes of the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the North and West Ends of Boston in the late nineteenth century. These buildings' highly ornamental facades became the target of predominantly upper-class and Anglo-Saxon housing reformers, who viewed the facades as garish wrappings that often hid what they assumed were exploitative and brutal living conditions. Drawing on research and fieldwork of more than three thousand extant tenement buildings, Violette uses ornament as an entry point to reconsider the role of tenement architects and builders (many of whom had deep roots in immigrant communities) in improving housing for the working poor.
Utilizing specially commissioned contem-porary photography, and many never-before-published historical images, The Decorated Tenement complicates monolithic notions of architectural taste and housing standards while broadening our understanding of the diversity of cultural and economic positions of those responsible for shaping American architecture and urban landscapes.

Описание: Lavishly illustrated account of forty magnificent country houses, destroyed in the last century.The Lost Country Houses of Suffolk, well-researched and written and copiously illustrated, will help the reader to imagine the county's landscape refurnished with the many elegant mansions which are now sadly lost. JOHN BLATCHLY During the twentieth century some forty of Suffolk's finest country houses vanished forever, a few by fire, but more frequently through demolition, either because uneconomic to run, or through the deterioration oftheir fabric. This book relates their tragic stories, with lavish use of engravings, images and pictures to bring to life what has now gone forever. It offers an account of each house [its history, its family, its architect], with a description of the buildings, and particular information on how it came to be destroyed. The houses are put into their wider context by an introductory section, covering the economic and social circumstances which caused difficulties for the owners of country houses at the time, and comparing the loss in Suffolk with losses in England as a whole. Houses covered: Acton Place, Assington Hall, Barking Hall, Barton Hall, Boulge Hall, Bramford Hall, Branches Park, Bredfield House, Brome Hall, Campsea Ashe High House, Carlton Hall, Cavenham Hall, Chediston Hall, Downham Hall, Drinkstone Park, Easton Park, Edwardstone Hall, Flixton Hall, Fornham Hall, Hardwick House, HenhamHall, Hobland Hall, Holton Hall, Hunston Hall, Livermere Hall, The Manor House Mildenhall, Moulton Paddocks, Oakley Park, Ousden Hall, The Red House Ipswich, Redgrave Hall, Rendlesham Hall, Rougham Hall, Rushbrooke Hall, Stoke Park, Sudbourne Hall, Tendring Hall, Thorington Hall, Thornham Hall, Ufford Place.

Описание: URBS ist die erste internationale Reihe, die den aktuellen bauhistorischen und urbanistischen Fragen der Antiken Baugeschichte und Klassischen Archaologie ein spezielles Forum eroffnet. Sie zielt darauf, architektonische und urbanistische Analysen und architektur- und raumsoziologische Fragestellungen in einen wechselseitig befruchtenden Dialog zu bringen. Im Zentrum stehen architektonische und urbanistische Forschungen zu den Kulturen der Klassischen Antike sowie ihrer kulturellen Vorstufen; ebenso Thema sind die Rezeption und Transformation entsprechender antiker Phanomene in den Nachbarkulturen sowie den nachfolgenden Kulturen der Spatantike, des Islams, des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit. Die Diskussionen reichen von einzelnen Bau- und Raumbefunden uber strukturelle Bau- und Raumtypen unterschiedlicher offentlicher, privater, religioser und okonomischer Funktionen bis hin zu komplexen Stadtanlagen oder dem Verhaltnis von Stadt und Umland bzw. einzelner Stadte untereinander. Erforscht werden Raume und Bauten dabei sowohl in ihrer funktionalen Qualitat als auch in ihrer reprasentativen Dimension bei der Stiftung von politischer Macht, sozialer Differenz und kultureller Identitat. Einzelne Raume oder Raumabfolgen werden neben ihrer konkreten Konstruktion auch in ihrer Wirkung auf die Benutzer und deren Wahrnehmung befragt.

Описание: An exploration of the architecture of dormitories that exposes deeply held American beliefs about education, youth, and citizenshipEvery fall on move-in day, parents tearfully bid farewell to their beloved sons and daughters at college dormitories: it is an age-old ritual. The residence hall has come to mark the threshold between childhood and adulthood, housing young people during a transformational time in their lives. Whether a Gothic stone pile, a quaint Colonial box, or a concrete slab, the dormitory is decidedly unhomelike, yet it takes center stage in the dramatic arc of many American families. This richly illustrated book examines the architecture of dormitories in the United States from the eighteenth century to 1968, asking fundamental questions: Why have American educators believed for so long that housing students is essential to educating them? And how has architecture validated that idea? Living on Campus is the first architectural history of this critical building type. Grounded in extensive archival research, Carla Yanni’s study highlights the opinions of architects, professors, and deans, and also includes the voices of students. For centuries, academic leaders in the United States asserted that on-campus living enhanced the moral character of youth; that somewhat dubious claim nonetheless influenced the design and planning of these ubiquitous yet often overlooked campus buildings. Through nuanced architectural analysis and detailed social history, Yanni offers unexpected glimpses into the past: double-loaded corridors (which made surveillance easy but echoed with noise), staircase plans (which prevented roughhousing but offered no communal space), lavish lounges in women’s halls (intended to civilize male visitors), specially designed upholstered benches for courting couples, mixed-gender saunas for students in the radical 1960s, and lazy rivers for the twenty-first century’s stressed-out undergraduates. Against the backdrop of sweeping societal changes, communal living endured because it bolstered networking, if not studying. Housing policies often enabled discrimination according to class, race, and gender, despite the fact that deans envisioned the residence hall as a democratic alternative to the elitist fraternity. Yanni focuses on the dormitory as a place of exclusion as much as a site of fellowship, and considers the uncertain future of residence halls in the age of distance learning.

Die bewahrte Typologie der Stadtvilla ist Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entstanden und stellt zugleich eine aktuelle Alternative zum Einfamilienhaus dar. Mehrere Wohnungen sind auf bis zu funf Stockwerken durch ein gemeinsames Treppenhaus verbunden. Stadtebaulich ermoglicht es dieser Bautyp stadtische Dichte mit offenen Grunraumen zu vereinen.
Eigens angefertigte Fotografien und Planzeichnungen von acht exemplarischen Lausanner Stadtvillen illustrieren die Texte internationaler Autoren, die das Thema uber den Ausgangspunkt Lausanne hinaus in seiner weltweiten Relevanz entfalten.
