课程描述
本课程探讨城市住房问题。在过去几年里，住房尤其是城市的住房面临着来自建筑师和理论家的信任危机。在城市问题以及离散居住的倾向加剧的同时，人们对现代主义住房样式的信任也随之动摇。美国人历来对城市住宅持怀疑态度。世界上其他地方的人纷纷涌向城市，以致城市居民占到了总人口的半数以上，美国却背道而驰：半数以上的美国人选择离开城市。尽管趋势如此，而且大量的社会经济问题涌现，美国的城市仍旧彰显其坚韧的生命力。有些城市甚至可说是欣欣向荣。但要真正地居住在一个城市，是需具备一应俱全的都市住宅的。本课程以传统和现代住宅模型为基础，详尽地探研这个问题。
研讨会将讨论巴黎、伦敦、纽约房屋样式的发展和它们的城市表意，同时也包括法国酒店和公寓楼房，乔治亚时代的联排住宅，纽约的联排式房屋、
本课程将采取调研研讨会的形式，每周上课一次。研讨会上讲师的演讲会以1975年为背景。
学生的调研和演讲需聚焦在某个指定城市的城市住宅，学期末前请提交调研报告。
除了学生演讲和调研报告，请确保您的课堂出勤与参与。
课程描述
This course explores urban housing. In the last few years, housing - especially urban housing - has suffered from a crisis of confidence on the part of architects and theorists. Belief in modernist models has waned as urban problems have increased and decentralization has continued. In America urban housing has traditionally been regarded with suspicion. As the rest of the world moves towards a predominately urban population with at least 50% of the population now living in cities, America appears to be moving in the opposite direction with at least 50% of the people not living in cities. Despite this trend, and enormous socio-economic problems, American cities have demonstrated remarkable staying power. Indeed, some are thriving. But to be truly livable a city requires a rich repertoire of urban housing. This course will examine the topic in terms of both traditional and modern models.
The seminar will analyze the development of housing models and their urban implications in Paris, London, and New York. Included in the discussion will be the French Hotel and Apartment Building, the Georgian Townhouse, and the New York Row House, Tenement, and Apartment Building. Modern housing projects in each city will be covered. By bringing the survey to the present, the seminar will present revisions of architectural modernism's urban housing principles in the work of contemporary designers.
The course is structured as a research seminar and will meet once per week. Presentations by the instructor will bring the seminar to 1975.
Student research and presentations will focus on urban housing in a selected city, and will be submitted as research papers at the end of the course.
In addition to a presentation and report, class attendance and participation are required.
