Abstract

The architect Karola Bloch, who was working for the Deutsche Bauakademie in the GDR after World War II, aimed to meet the goal of gender equality according to socialist principles by realising numerous crèches and kindergartens through the development of schematic plans and guidelines for building construction. For the newly founded socialist state of the GDR, this was a way to free women from domestic unpaid care work in order to integrate them into wage-earning labour, which was considered crucial for women to become equal members of society. The implementation of a nationwide network of childcare centres via typification and standardisation promised to realise these ambitious goals quickly and cost-effectively.

东德的卡洛拉·布洛赫（民主德国，1950-55）。将儿童保育设施标准化作为妇女解放的工具

建筑师卡罗拉·布洛赫（Karola Bloch）在第二次世界大战后为德意志民主共和国的德意志包阿卡德米建筑事务所（Deutsche Bauakademie）工作，他旨在通过制定建筑施工示意图和指导方针来实现众多幼儿园和幼儿园，从而根据社会主义原则实现性别平等的目标。对于新成立的民主德国社会主义国家来说，这是一种将妇女从家庭无偿护理工作中解放出来的方式，目的是将她们纳入赚取工资的劳动中，这被认为是妇女成为社会平等成员的关键。通过典型化和标准化实施全国儿童保育中心网络，有望快速、经济高效地实现这些雄心勃勃的目标。

期刊介绍： ZARCH adopts a double perspective. Firstly, a global vision, that is international, although with its headquarters in our university and in the Spanish and European sphere, which implies coming to terms that most of the contributions are published in English, even though it seems compatible with a special attention to the Latin languages, not only in Spanish but also in French, Italian, Portuguese and others. Secondly, an interdisciplinary, transversal approximation with integrating visions, starting from the architectural field but open to other disciplines according with the changing limits and situations that today characterize the architecture field and urban studies. This leads us to the acceptance of close disciplines, from social sciences to technical visions, with logic condition of the scientific quality of contributions, previously evaluated by a rigorous system of arbitration. In any case, the Scientific Council''s advice to the magazine, guarantees the rigour and the attention to the standpoints and methodologies more innovative in our fields.
