Abstract

Récit du projet des écoles d'art de Cuba, confié en 1961 par Fidel Castro et Che Guevara aux architectes Ricardo Porro, Vittorio Garatti et Roberto Gottardi après une partie de golf révolutionnaire. Restés inachevés et abandonnés car considérés comme "non productifs" aux yeux des communistes, ces bâtiments furent tout de même utilisés, voir squattés, par les étudiants. Il fallut attendre 40 ans et l'intérêt de l'architecte américain John Loomis pour que Fidel Castro ordonne leur restauration. Deux bâtiments purent ainsi être rénovés et finis par leurs architectes d'origine avant que le chantier soit de nouveau interrompu, en 2010. Cette histoire mouvementée est à l'image de la vie de leurs architectes, obligés pour certains de fuir Cuba, principaux témoins et conteurs de ce récit. Une histoire indissociable de l'évolution politique et économique de Cuba. A l'écran : nombreuses archives, photographies et films, du chantier et de Cuba ; prises de vues actuelles ; interview de John Loomis.

Abstract

Situated in the second semester of the three-year Master of Architecture Program at the School of Constructed Environments (New York), the housing studio engages a series of formal, social, and architectural issues in a formative culmination of the first year sequence of this program. Beyond the important learning objectives related to history, precedent, sustainability, design, and deep collaboration that are delivered in this course there are other, succinct aims of this project that are injected into the SCE’s pedagogy early and vitally. This studio posits that community, site, and density are intertwined within our local fabric of New York City. Based in Chelsea the specific project given to this group of students demanded that they address complex issues related to public health, the defensibility and flexibility of civic space, and the vast undertaking of revising and re-visioning public housing and NYCHA’s aging structures more specifically.

Abstract

For almost ten years, Samuel Mockbee, a recent MacArthur Grant recipient, and his architecture students at Auburn University have been designing and building striking houses and community buildings for impoverished residents of Alabama's Hale County. Using salvaged lumber and bricks, discarded tires, hay and waste cardboard bales, concrete rubble, colored bottles, and old license plates, they create inexpensive buildings that bear the trademark of Mockbee's work, which he describes as "contemporary modernism grounded in Southern culture." In a time of unexampled prosperity, when architectural attention focuses on big, glossy urban projects, the Rural Studio provides an alternative of substance. In addition to being a social welfare venture, the Rural Studio--"Taliesin South" as Mockbee calls it--is also an educational experiment and a prod to the architectural profession to act on its best instincts. In giving students hands-on experience in designing and building something real, it extends their education beyond paper architecture. And in scavenging and reusing a variety of unusual materials, it is a model of sustainable architecture. The work of Rural Studio has struck such a chord-both architecturally and socially--that it has been featured on Oprah, Nightline, and CBS News, as well as in Time and People magazines. The Studio has completed more than a dozen projects, including the Bryant "Hay Bale" House, Harris "Butterfly" House, Yancey Chapel, Akron Chapel, Children's Center, H.E.R.O. Playground, Lewis House, Super Sheds and Pods, Spencer House addition, Farmer's Market, Mason's Bend Community Center, Goat House, and Shannon-Dutley House

Abstract

"Everyone, rich or poor, deserves a shelter for the soul." Samuel Mockbee. Based on this simple premise, in 1992 Samuel Mockbee launched the Rural Studio to create homes and community buildings for the poor while offering hands-on architecture training for coming generations. Choosing impoverished Hale County, Alabama, for his bold experiment, Mockbee and his Auburn University students peppered this left-behind corner of the rural South with striking buildings of exceptional design. Most use recycled and curious materials: hay bales, surplus tires, leftover carpet tiles, even discarded 1980 Chevy Caprice windshields. The publication of Rural Studio brought this innovative work to the public, and five printings later continues to affect the way people view architecture. Since Mockbee's death in 2001, the Rural Studio has continued to thrive, a tribute to its founder's vision. In 2004, the American Institute of Architects posthumously awarded Mockbee its highest honor, the Gold Medal for Architecture. Under Mockbee's successor, Andrew Freear, the studio has seeded southwest Alabama with an additional seventeen architectural landmarks, and all are shown here. With thoughtful text from Andrea Oppenheimer Dean and stunning photographs by Timothy Hursley, this new book explains the changes the studio has undergone during the last four years and its continuing ability to "proceed and be bold," as Mockbee counseled.
