Negotiating Ordinary Housing in post-WWII Italy: Narratives, Methods, Research Strategies
The lecture reflects on how drawing on a broad range of evidence can help to understand the histories and potential futures of middle-class housing in Italy. The focus is on the research strategies, methods and tools used to investigate complexes developed by private-sector entities between the 1950s and 1970s.

Rule by Aesthetics and the Politics of Unplanning Delhi
Drawing from research in various auto-constructed neighborhoods, this presentation explores four modes of aesthetic governance that characterize the contested processes of urbanization in contemporary India. The presentation examines how law- and neighborhood-making (and -breaking) are co-constituted via the circulation of visual codes of land use and built form, variously driving forced removals or consolidating claims to settlement.

The Promises and Pitfalls of Pinui Binui and TAMA 38 in Jerusalem
Israel is currently experiencing a building boom facilitated by two tools enabling either the upgrading, or demolition and new construction, of existing housing. One is an earthquake-safety program driven by the private market, the other, an urban-renewal tool requiring stronger government action. The lecture explores current debates.
Freitag, 29.4.
Sandra Parvu, ENS Architecture Val de Seine, University of Paris
Preservation and Professional Practice: The Paradoxical Heritage of French Public Housing
At the end of the twentieth century, poor workmanship during construction and deferred maintenance called into question the future of collective housing estates built in France after the Second World War. Parvu examines in this lecture the debate that has waged for twenty years within the French administration and architectural profession over whether and how to preserve them.
Die Vortragsreihe ist Teil des MAS GTA Projektsemesters.
