The Housing Question is a Feminist Question, Ioanna Piniara
Ioanna’s research operates at the intersection of feminist studies, architectural history and the commons discourse with the aim to enrich the latter as a radical theory and practice for conceptualising equitable forms of collective living. Her research project employs the theoretical framing of feminism through the commons that supports the liberation of women from capitalist and patriarchal exploitation. This stems from the recognition of female oppression through the burden of reproductive labour in the mass-produced nuclear-family apartment type of the 20th century. As a contribution to this framework, the project studies the context of the emergence of a “new woman” in the early Weim...

On Typology, Christoph Gantenbein
Просмотров 801Год назад
Abstract: Alongside the manifest ideological modernity and its visions of a new architecture, a new city, and a new human being, there are the real modern cities. Built, not discussed. Their architecture is modern vernacular: the buildings are based on types, i.e. optimised solutions for standard problems, which, depending on the city, take into account very different external conditions. Thus,...
Symposium Introduction
Просмотров 310Год назад
On the 4th and 5th of April, we organized 'The Fifth Typology' symposium and workshop 'On Type and Architecture.' The abstract, as published, made the following claim: A type is not a model or an image to be copied, but the deep structure of how things are put together. The Symposium revisits the concept of type by critically reading its previous definitions and by offering a new interpretation ...

Abstract: The Marshall Plan, officially operated from 1948 to 1952 for reconstruction and development in Europe and non-European countries such as Turkey and Switzerland, marks the Cold War economic-political and foreign policy of the US. Referred by its bureaucrats as “the democratic way of self-help and cooperation”, the Marshall Plan publicized notions such as mutual aid, self-help, cooperat...
Non-Typological Architecture, Brendon Carlin
Просмотров 605Год назад
Abstract: Terms like playful, innocent, light, free, and sincere have often been used to characterise the work of the most famous Japanese architects of the 21st century. As evidenced in projects like EPFL's own Rolex Learning Centre, works from SANAA and contemporaries have become crucial to architectural practice and cultural institutions beyond Japan. In contrast to a playful lightness, the ...
Patterns of Thinking, Sophie Delhay
Просмотров 262Год назад
Abstract: If typology allows classification, it is - for architects - a tool that allows us to operate in the complexity of a project thanks to a repertoire classifying the resolutions by “family” from which we can draw. In a way, typology organizes our field of knowledge and constitutes the cultural base on which he can rely. In the field of housing design, the typology constitutes a repertoir...
The Basilica and the Rotunda, Gili Merin

Abstract: This paper explores the replication of Jerusalem’s sacred architecture in Medieval Europe. It studies the concept of analogy in order to define the spatial translation of Jerusalem into “analogous” shrines built for pilgrims unable to visit the city itself. These analogous shrines follow a typological structure that originated in Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where a basil...
The City as Reformist Project, Enrica Mannelli
Просмотров 119Год назад
Abstract: From 1960 until 1967, Giuseppe Campos Venuti was chief of the urban planning department of the city of Bologna. During his leadership, he put in place a series of urban reforms - known as Urbanistica Riformista - that focused on countering land speculation which resulted from the quick expansion of the city. The core of the project was the 1973 plan for the historical centre of Bologn...
The Broadcasting House, Alfredo Thiermann

Abstract: In 1893 the notion of “space” entered the realm of architectural theory in the writings contained in a book titled “Das Wesen von architektonischen Schöpfung” (The Essence of Architectural Creation) published by art historian August Schmarsow. Only a few years later, in 1897, German physicist Georg von Arco used the material infrastructure of the bell tower of the Hailandskirche in Po...
Building the Other, Davide Sacconi

Abstract: Between the 17th and 18th centuries in a remote area along the basins of Uruguay and the Paraná rivers, a very peculiar form of settlement arose: the Jesuit reduction. In a region characterised by violent conflicts between the Portuguese and Spanish Crowns, the indigenous population, and the Bandeirantes militia, the Jesuits were called to provide order. This project implied both the ...
Typology Beyond Rossi, Christopher C.M. Lee,
Просмотров 189Год назад
Abstract: Type, as a theory and heuristic device, originated in the context of the Enlightenment in 18th-century Europe. It has been discussed ever since, from Quatremère de Quincy to Aldo Rossi, within this intellectual and historical framework. This presentation proposes the possibility of reframing the concept of type from an Eastern perspective and recasting the instrumentality and efficacy...
From College to Campus, Marson Korbi

Abstract: Beyond monastic tradition, rules, statutes, and codes regulating conduct and behaviors gave origin to university colleges and the figure of the student. Starting from the Middle Ages, plans for education were introduced by reformers, moralists, and educators of different times to re-formulate pedagogical agendas. Key moments in the history of western education are the rise of universi...
This Woman’s Work, Maria Shéhérazade Giudici

Abstract: In the hundred years between the beginnings of the Encyclopédie and the reign of Napoleon III, France was not only the theatre of political and technological revolutions: it was also the stage for a radical reinvention of social relationships, down to the most intimate scale. Polarised between care and desire, familial responsibility and individual indulgence, domestic space was reart...
For the ‘House Poor’, Theodora Giovanazzi
Просмотров 127Год назад
Abstract: In his seminal article “On Typology”, Rafael Moneo asserts that the emergence of a new type should be considered a tangible signifier of changed architectural and historical circumstances. In response to this statement, the paper argues that the Fugger foundation in Augsburg should be held up as a case in point of typological innovation. Built in 1523 by the Fugger family and often re...
Between the Pattern and the Type, Vasileios I. Chanis
Просмотров 79Год назад
Abstract: Historically speaking, the notion of the type was reintroduced to the larger architectural discourse as a direct consequence of the crisis of the Modern. The task of revisiting the forms of the past also dictated the return of architectural methods that had long been considered obsolete by the propagators of the great rupture. But type was not alone in this mission. It coexisted with ...
