Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important points in the history and an evolution in social and political philosophies, this book not only reflects on the texts and their political philosophy and implications, but also, their architecture and how that architecture informs the political philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts of community and utopian architecture, but each featured an architectural solution at the centre of their social and political philosophy, as none of the cities were ever built, they have remained as utopian literature. Some of the works examined are very well-known, such as Tommaso Campanella's Civitas Solis, while others such as Joseph Michael Gandy's Designs for Cottages, are relatively obscure. However, even with the best known works, this volume offers new insights by focusing on the architecture of the cities and how that architecture represents the author's political philosophy. It reconstructs the cities through a 3-D computer program, ArchiCAD, using Artlantis to render. Plans, sections, elevations and perspectives are presented for each of the cities. The ten cities are: Filarete - Sforzina; Albrecht Dürer - Fortified Utopia ; Tommaso Campanella - The City of the Sun ; Johann Valentin Andreae - Christianopolis ; Joseph Michael Gandy - An Agricultural Village ; Robert Owen - Villages of Unity and Cooperation ; James Silk Buckingham - Victoria ; Robert Pemberton - Queen Victoria Town ; King Camp Gillette - Metropolis ; and Bradford Peck - The World a Department Store. Each chapter considers the work in conjunction with contemporary thought, the political philosophy and the reconstruction of the city. Although these ten cities represent over 500 years of utopian and political thought, they are an interlinked thread that had been drawn from literature of the past and informed by contemporary thought and society. The book is structured in two parts : the utopian Renaissance cities and the utopian cities of the Industrial Revolution.

Sozialer Wohnungsbau hat in Europa eine weit zurückreichende Tradition. Seit den Anfängen des 20. Jahrhunderts etablieren sich diese oft anonym errichteten und bisweilen verkannten Bauten in den Vororten grosser europäischer Städte. Mit dem multidisziplinären internationalen Forschungsprojekt "Mapping Public Housing" spürt das Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism der Universität Porto diesem architektonischen Erbe nach und zeigt, dass sich oft lebendige Siedlungen und ganze Stadtteile aus den Wohnbauprojekten herausgebildet haben. Im vorliegenden Buch werden exemplarische Beispiele u.a. aus Deutschland, Grossbritannien, Portugal, der Schweiz und Spanien näher angeschaut. Das Spektrum reicht von den Anfängen des sozialen Wohnungsbaus in Portugal dank deutscher Investitionen während des Ersten Weltkriegs über die Propagandapolitik in Zusammenhang mit subventioniertem Wohnen für die Arbeiterklasse der 1940er-Jahre bis hin zu nachhaltigen Konzeptideen für die Zukunft. So entsteht ein breites Panorama, das die Entwicklung des subventionierten Bauens als Teil der Kulturgeschichte Europas versteht und die wichtige Rolle nachzeichnet, die dem staatlich alimentierten Wohnungsbau bei der Entstehung des europäischen Wohlfahrtstaats zukam. Le logement social a une longue tradition en Europe. Depuis le début du 20ème siècle, ces structures souvent construites anonymement et peu appréciées sont apparues dans toutes les banlieues des grandes villes d’Europe. Dans le cadre du projet de recherche multidisciplinaire et international Mapping Public Housing, le Centre d’études en architecture et urbanisme de la Faculté d’architecture de l’Université de Porto a retracé le patrimoine architectural du logement social. Les résultats démontrent que, dans de nombreux cas, des quartiers dynamiques et des quartiers entiers de la ville ont émergé de ces programmes de logement social. Ce livre examine de plus près les développements exemplaires en Allemagne, en Grande-Bretagne, au Portugal, en Suisse et en Espagne. Les études de cas couvrent un large éventail de contextes sociaux et historiques, des débuts du logement social au Portugal déclenchés par les investissements allemands pendant la Première Guerre mondiale aux politiques de propagande associées au logement subventionné pour la classe ouvrière dans les années 1940, en passant par les concepts et idées durables pour l’avenir. Hidden in Plain Sight offre un large panorama qui reconnaît le développement de la construction résidentielle subventionnée comme faisant partie de l’histoire culturelle de l’Europe et retrace le rôle important que le logement financé par l’État a joué dans l’émergence de l’État-providence européen. Social housing has a long tradition in Europe. Since the early 20th century, these often anonymously built and unappreciated structures have arisen all across the suburbs of Europe's major cities. In the multidisciplinary and international research project Mapping Public Housing, the Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture has been tracing the architectural heritage of social housing. The findings demonstrate that, in many cases, vibrant neighbourhoods and entire city districts have emerged from such social housing programs.This book takes a closer look at exemplary developments in Germany, Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Spain. The case studies cover a wide range of social and historical contexts, from the beginnings of social housing in Portugal sparked by German investment during World War I to the propaganda policies associated with subsidised housing for the working class in the 1940s, and to sustainable concepts and ideas for the future. Hidden in Plain Sight offers a wide-ranging panorama that recognises the development of subsidised residential construction as a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the important role that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the European welfare state.
