Abstract

Abstract During the twentieth-century the rise of social housing programs triggered two specific architectural transformations: firstly, the process of rationalization of the domestic realm; secondly, the integration of residential units with open spaces, civic buildings and services. The latter became central to spatially structure the relation between autonomous individual living patterns, the social needs of everyday life and the political/ideological implications of this relation. The paper discusses the transformation of social housing projects in Belgium during the twentieth-century focusing on two cases, the garden settlements in the 1920s and the Modernist neighborhood units of the 1950s and 1960s, where the question of collective life became central. Acknowledging the opposition between “community” and the “social” throughout modernity, the paper interrogates how these cases attempted to reconfigure urban and architectural principles in light of the shifting value of collectivity in housing.

在二十世纪比利时社会住房中塑造集体生活

摘要在二十世纪，社会住房计划的兴起引发了两个具体的建筑变革：首先，国内领域的合理化进程；其次，住宅单元与开放空间、市政建筑和服务的整合。后者成为空间结构自主个体生活模式、日常生活的社会需求以及这种关系的政治/意识形态含义之间关系的核心。本文讨论了20世纪比利时社会住房项目的转型，重点关注两个案例，即20世纪20年代的花园式定居点和20世纪50年代和60年代的现代主义社区单元，在这两个案例中，集体生活问题成为了中心。本文承认在整个现代性中“社区”和“社会”之间的对立，并质疑这些案例是如何试图根据集体在住房中价值的转变来重新配置城市和建筑原则的。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
