Krátky popis
Shortlisted for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion 2021 (The
Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain)",It will
become the standard work on the subject.", Literary ReviewThis
major work provides the first comprehensive history of one of
modernism's most defining and controversial architectural legacies:
the 20th-century drive to provide 'homes for the people'. Vast
programmes of mass housing - high-rise, low-rise, state-funded, and
built in the modernist style - became a truly global phenomenon,
leaving a legacy which has suffered waves of disillusionment in the
West but which is now seeing a dramatic, 21st-century renaissance
in the booming, crowded cities of East Asia. Providing a global
approach to the history of Modernist mass-housing production, this
authoritative study combines architectural history with the broader
social, political, cultural aspects of mass housing - particularly
the 'mass' politics of power and state-building throughout the 20th
century. Exploring the relationship between built form, ideology,
and political intervention, it shows how mass housing not only
reflected the transnational ideals of the Modernist project, but
also became a central legitimizing pillar of nation-states
worldwide. In a compelling narrative which likens the spread of
mass housing to a 'Hundred Years War' of successive campaigns and
retreats, it traces the history around the globe from Europe via
the USA, Soviet Union and a network of international outposts, to
its ultimate, optimistic resurgence in China and the East - where
it asks: Are we facing a new dawn for mass housing, or another
'great housing failure' in the making?
