Abstract

L'ampleur que prend actuellement, dans la majorité des pays occidentaux, la pratique de la reconversion des bâtiments désaffectés en faveur de nouveaux usages collectifs constitue un phénomène de civilisation sans précédent à cette échelle : il est révélateur, en France et à l'étranger, d'une mutation de notre société. L'apparition et le développement rapide de l'intérêt du public et de la presse, des autorités nationales ou locales et des professionnels à propos de cette façon nouvelle de concevoir des équipements publics les plus divers et de réaménager des quartiers urbains, correspond à une évolution récente de l'état d'esprit des individus et des groupes dans les pays industrialisés, ainsi qu'à une pratique nouvelle de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme : par ce biais, ces disciplines trouvent enfin l'occasion de se remettre au diapason de la sensibilité et de la demande (consciente ou non) de nos contemporains.La réaffectation de bâtiments mal ou non utilisés à de nouveaux usages collectifs offre un immense champ d'action aux autorités et collectivités locales, aux bâtisseurs et aménageurs, soucieux : d'innover sans renier pour autant les témoignages architecturaux de notre histoire; de faire à la fois acte de réalisme et de sensibilité ; de s'intégrer dans un courant d'action et de pensée qui, bientôt, pourrait être reconnu comme un des apports culturels, techniques et politiques marquants dans l'histoire de l'aménagement de nos agglomérations durant les années 70. Déjà les Etats-Unis, le Japon, l'Allemagne ou la Grande-Bretagne comptent de nombreux exemples de ce type d'intervention dont le succès évident doit nous amener à nous interroger. Qu'en est-il en France ? C'est la vocation du C.C.I. de poser cette question car elle concerne directement le devenir de notre environnement quotidien, mais aussi parce qu'elle qu'elle rend compte d'une évolution récente de la sensibilité culturelle du public et des aménageurs.

Abstract

Small stone hutongs, built within a courtyard-and-alley system, are emblematic of Beijing's traditional inner-city architecture which still contends with modern, cooperate redevelopments to shape the character of the city. In one of the oldest cities in China, the important tasks of preservation and revitalization require particular sensitivity. Captured at the centre of the battlefield between development, conservation and renovation, the hutongs, on the verge of erasure, call into question the paradoxical nature of these paradigms. The Micro Hutong Renewal series by ZAO/standardarchitecture focusses on small structures which residents have added to hutong courtyards in the last 60 years. The anchor project of this publication is the Hutong Children's Library & Art Centre, which won the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2016. A foreword from the Aga Khan Award director, Farrokh Derakhshani, and a series of photographs and drawings by the architect will present this project alongside another project from the series; The Micro Hutong and Co-living Courtyard, as well as ZAO/standardarchitecture’s social housing projects in the center of Beijing. In addition, scholarly essays from across disciplines will explore alternative perspectives of China’s historical cities and the challenges they face.Several interviews with different people involved with the Hutong projects, such as residents and users of different ages will ensure a broad range of perspectives.The holistic message of the book will illustrate how ZAO/standardarchitecture’s work considers the city and its components as living organisms. This is what gives rise to the title: Hutong Metabolism.

Abstract

Economic and societal transitions have left many buildings redundant and numerous structures are waiting to be put to new uses. Due in part to an increasing awareness of ecological issues, but mainly thanks to the esteem currently enjoyed by any sort of historic building fabric, unused structures are now examined to determine what kind of new use might be suitable. Buildings are therefore emerging with layers superimposed on top of one another: the original function usually still provides the scale and structure, into which a new matrix of utilization is installed. This volume presents unique projects that see churches transformed into restaurants, barns into houses, apartments into offices and multi-storey car parks into apartments, but also large-scale conversions, such as the remodelling of an entire port into a new city district with a vast functional diversity.

Abstract

Buildings have often been studies whole in space, but never before have they been studied whole in time. How Buildings Learn is a masterful new synthesis that proposes that buildings adapt best when constantly refined and reshaped by their occupants, and that architects can mature from being artists of space to becoming artists of time. From the connected farmhouses of New England to I.M. Pei’s Media Lab, from “satisficing” to “form follows funding,” from the evolution of bungalows to the invention of Santa Fe Style, from Low Road military surplus buildings to a High Road English classic like Chatsworth—this is a far-ranging survey of unexplored essential territory.More than any other human artifacts, buildings improve with time—if they’re allowed to. How Buildings Learn shows how to work with time rather than against it.
