Ruimschotel Tjerk London. Architectural Guide. Twentieth-Century Housing Projects
A city famous for its rapid growth and high cost of living, London is not a place one immediately associates with pioneering housing projects. Yet the British capital has a long history of social housing and plenty of innovative residential buildings: from Henry Darbishire's estates for the Peabody housing association to sustainable communities such as BedZED and contemporary council homes like the RIBA award-winning Dujardin Mews. Divided by period rather than architectural style, this guide focuses on the developments in this field, beginning at the close of the nineteenth century and finishing at the present day. Twentieth-century buildings thus make up the bulk of the guide: garden suburbs, quintessentially English mock Tudor estates, and brutalist icons such as the Barbican and Robin Hood Gardens are all feature in these pages. As do lesser-known works, situated both in the heart of the metropolis and its outer suburbs. Details of the location and nearest train station accompany the building descriptions for easy navigation, and maps give an overview for planning excursions. In addition, a comprehensive reading list provides inspiration for further investigation. Architectural Guide: London offers an alternative way to view the city's remarkable buildings - many of which are hidden in plain sight.

Tjerk Ruimschotel. Architectural guide. London
Лондон, известный своим быстрым ростом и высокой стоимостью жизни, не является местом, которое сразу ассоциируется с социальным жильем. Тем не менее, британская столица имеет долгую историю подобных проектов: от работ Генри Робертса для Общества улучшения положения трудящихся классов в девятнадцатом веке до современного, удостоенного награды RIBA Дюжардена Мьюза.В этом путеводителе, разделенном по периодам, а не по архитектурным стилям, основное внимание уделяется событиям в этой часто упускаемой из виду области, начиная с конца девятнадцатого века и заканчивая по сей день. Таким образом, большую часть путеводителя составляют здания двадцатого века: в него вошли пригород Хэмпстед-Гарден до Первой мировой войны, типичные английские поместья псевдо-Тюдоров и такие брутальные символы, как Барбакан. Наряду с известными произведениями есть и менее известные произведения. Городской планировщик Tjerk Ruimschotel представляет резиденции как в самом центре мегаполиса, так и на его окраинах.Детали местоположения, станции метро и карты сопровождают проекты для облегчения навигации, а подробный список литературы вдохновляет на дальнейшие исследования.

Losantos Agata, Canizares Ana G. Highrises Social Living
Collective housing has played a major role in architectural advances of the twentieth century. Social changes in the western world have forced architects to take note of the new priorities. In a western world that has reached a certain standard of health, energy efficiency and the need for an urban cohesion around the buildings are the new burning issues. A careful choice of materials and continues variation of the type of residence, be it single-room studios, multiple-bedroom flats, or open-plan lofts, also characterize this contemporary housing movement. This book brings together some of the most outstanding projects of recent years including luxury skyscrapers, innovative social buildings, restorations and volumetric experiments of world renown. Illustrated with more than 400 photographs and plans, the projects in this book represent a wonderful example of the current desire to update collective housing.

An accessible primer to the most important architectural touchstones of our time by today’s leading architects and teachers of architecture.

The capacity of these buildings to resist, adapt, and invent new typologies solidifies their timeless relevance to future challenges. The result is presented here in this unique volume: a master list of the top 100 “must-know” built works of architecture designed and completed between 1900 and 2000.
