COMIBA MOM AR- TRAJECCHIPELATORY GOS BRIEF Common Archipelagos responds to the man-made contrast between city and nature. The aim is the preservation of landscape spaces through islands of diverse human activities in a symbiotic coexistence of urbanity and natural space. “Develop to protect”is the key feature. In contrast to the typical development of today’s cities with low density structures and condensed urban center, Common Archipelagos offers a new resource-saving urbanism in harmony with nature on the territory of two country (LUX, France) sharing common ground Dogger land. The intention is to minimize the ecological footprint and soil sealing, reduce the need for private space and at the same time offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor spaces for community use.

International Building Exhibitions (IBA) that is a special format of urban and regional development. They are hallmarks of national building and planning culture. For more than a century now, these experimental fields are bringing the current issues of planning and building into the focus of national and international discussion.

The trajectory of the proposal is to produce the juxtaposition of a project timeline by exploring how that future vision may manifest itself architecturally and how it may evolve through the potential of the natural environment with the man-made interventions. Prototypes for self-sustained habitat, different future models of organization for hyper-productive territories.

COMMON GROUND DOGGER “The study area is located around the wooded coasts Limestones from the Dogger. This casestudy landscape ,that ignores geopolitical boundaries, represents a rich natural reservoir, recently abandoned by the heavy industrial activity.

the birthplace of a story prosperous and memorable community, carries the potential to create a space of varied ecosystems, unifying and conducive to all types fo synergies ”

THE TRANSNATIONAL TERRITORY

IBA TRANSBORDER TERRITORY

HOUSING SHORTAGE HISTORICAL OVERVIEW At the beginning of the 20th century, the largest steel company in the world, ARBED, was formed in Luxembourg. However, the need to house the thousands of workers presented the company with a major dilemma. The result, the logements or “workers housing,” made a permanent impact on the city of Esch-sur-Alzette. To this day, one can still see the impacts of this construction. Through an analysis of building blueprints and images from the time and contemporary interviews and photos, we have attempted to show how these logements not only provided a place to live for ARBED employers, but also transmitted its hierarchy from the factory to the rest of the city.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT 10

also The rising of the Luxembourg steel industry during the second half of the 19th century was made possible by the interaction of five major conditions: the overall implementation at an industrial level of the steam engine, the rediscovery of “minette” iron core, the construction

of a national railway, the membership of the GrandDuchy in the German Customs Union (Zollverein), and the Thomas-Gilchrist invention allowing for the dephosphorization of liquid iron. From 1867 to 1910, the

Luxembourg steel industry, mainly located in the southern region of Eschsur-Alzette, entered the ranks of the big players, especially due to the help of labour immigration from Italy, Poland, Germany and even from northern Luxembourg. 11

The growth from the steel industry led to an explosion in population. As an example, in 1913, the population of Esch was 13,000 but in 1930, it had reached 30,000, a 43% increase in just 17 years. This phenomenal growth led to a housing crisis.

ABSENCE OF LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY OF HOUSING The question we were interested in from the beginning was how (and if) ARBED’s internal hierarchy was reflected through their building of the logements for their workers in the first half of the 20th century. There is a small but healthy amount of scholarship that relates to this topic already. One cannot talk about Les Terres Rouges without mentioning Denis Scuto and notably his books, Sous le signe de la grande grève de mars 1921: Les années sans pareilles du mouvement ouvrier luxembourgeois 1918-1923 (1990) and, in collaboration with Christophe Knebeler Belval : passé present et avenir d’un site luxembourgeois exceptionnel (1911- 2011) (2010) have been invaluable for their historical context. Another import-

ant contribution is an edited work by Scuto, Eschsur-Alzette, du village à la ville industrielle. Art et révolution industrielle au pays de la terre rouge (1989). For specific focus, we are building off the work of Antoinette Lorang, especially her books Luxemburgs Arbeiterkolonien

und billige Wohnungen 1860-1940 (1994) and L’image sociale de l’Arbed à travers les collections du Fonds du logement (2009), both of which examined labour housing between 1860 and 1940 and where she argued that these mass dwellings were based on a social class hierarchy.

Cité “Lallingen” - Projet d un groupe de 2 maisons pour employés, 1947 (ArbedCP-03-0107, National Archives of Luxembourg)

12 12

However, while Lorang has focused most on the blue-collar workers of ARBED (les ouvriers) we have decided to direct our research on three other important levels of ARBED’s internal hierarchy: the employés, the engineers, and the directors. In summary, how are the differences between the three levels of workers reflected in their respective logements?

Type of House: Shared employé house Year of Construction: 1947 How to recognize it?: A moderately-sized house with a basement, ground floor, first floor, and attic. The single balcony on each house with entrances on the sides. Surface Area: 163.4 m2 L’image sociale de l’Arbed à travers les collections du Fonds du logement, 2009 book by Antoinette Lorang

WHO ARE THE OWNERS? “The Observatoire de l’habitat has determined that almost 15,900 private owners share three quarters of the building land (72.5 percent). However, the majority is concentrated in the hands of a few: 60 percent of the value is in the hands of 1,591 private individuals. 23 people own building land worth at least 25 million euros, 117 people own building land worth ten million euros each and 390 people own building land worth at least five million euros. 11,179 people have a maximum of ten ares and 7,783 people have a maximum of five ares. Available building land Most of the available building land is in urban communities. The municipality with the largest building land area (335 hectares) is the city of Luxembourg, but Niederanven, Käerjeng, Strassen, Sassenheim and Dudelange also have larger building land areas. Within the municipal PAG, 21.7 percent, i.e. a fifth of

the space, is not developed (as of 2016). This percentage corresponds to that of 2013. A third of the building land (941 hectares) is so-called vacant lots that could be built on immediately (without PAP). 89.1 percent of the building land is in private and only 10.9 percent (309 hectares) in public hands. The private property ownership is greatest in the rural communities, while the public sector (state, municipalities) owns building land especially in the urban communities. According to the Observatoire, between 50,000 and 80,000 residential units could be built on the 2,846 hectares without changing the building density.”

HOUSING DEMAND BY 2030 In the last 15 Years Luxembourg’s population/migration increased. ‘All of the movement summarizes the effort to bring Back Nature into city life but still we are not able to make landscape an unavoidable element in our urban lives. ‘ In the extensive rural-to-urban migration has created a severe housing shortage’. The newspaper argument about housing need for 2030 equals to 80,000 -100,000. luxembourg would need to construct 6,200 - 8,000 homes for year to meet the demand. 71% of Luxembourg’s EU residents name the housing as an issue of high importance. highest prise on the real estate in addition of HOUSING SHORTAGE creates FINANCIAL BURDEN.

EDGE CONDITION THE DOGGER The Dogger (abstract figure see the illustrations on the right ) “The territory described in this book is located on the western edge of the Franco-Luxembourg border. Due to the rise of the steel industry and mines, this band cross-border has experienced urbanization without previous, nestled in the valleys of a landscape of wooded ribs. These trritory of the both countries gives the potential of trans-boundary operations activating edge condition with Geothermal zone capacity . These two simultaneous phenomena meant to reinforce each other . “Today, the territory is at the heart of a dynamic of post-industrial renewal, symbolized by the strong demographic growth and supported by cross-border voluntary cooperation. “ 18

However, Large parts of it are classified Natura 2000, a classification network with Goal of maintaining biodiversity European natural sites having heritage value in view of their fauns and or their flora exceptional. The research aim is protection and strengthening of this fragile ecosystem. Here is the formula develop to protect must be understood as a guideline in all the projects that will be developed by the IBA. This direction involves several choices, such as developing a process of construction having for objective of complementing Côtes du Dogger to create new proximity

between residents (future) and the forest in order to eventually create new typologies of housing based on the principles of community and inclusiveness. these projects should be thought of as complementary of the landscape and will have to integrate in their environment. They will be able to frame it, but not avoid development, in order to foster new practices that benefit the landscape, environment and people living there. The case-study is also considering the establishment of a natural park surrounded by the common archipelagos as almost mediators between the man-made structures and nature , in order to bring out the Côtes du Dogger And be able to protect this mass forestry that can harm its visual integrity and landscape “

Atelier 5 Siedlung Halen 1961 Bern Cooperative Building 81 units

Housing Profiles Only two housing types are present, the two options being variations of the same concept (four and five meters wide triplex rowhouses). A few studios were also built. The project being located within a forest’s clearing, most of the necessary amenities have been build on site and are available for common use. Parking and gas-station allows for a car-free complex. The central square hosts grocery stores and common spaces. Common laundry rooms and fireplace are available, as well as sports fields and a swimming pool.

Contextual Economy Each rowhouse is part a three level terraced section. Each house has a garden located on the roof of the house below. These roofs remain the property of the houses they cover but owners of the upper unites still have the right to build on them, views from neighbored houses can not be blocked. The aim of the architects was to build as dense as possible in order to provide an economical handling of the building land.

Precursor The project serves as a striking counterpoint to the urban sprawl happening in Switzerland when housing demand grew rapidly after 1950, consuming large surfaces of land. Housing units are dense and built following cost-efficient principles. Quality of units aside, it is the attention to the “urban” parts of the estate that create a truly positive and forward thinking example of architecture. The costs for these spaces were divided by the amount of housing unites, in order that each dweller purchases a part of the common used space in addition to his apartment.

Diener & Diener Hammerstrasse 1981 Basel Private 88 units

Housing Profiles Studios and apartments from one up to six rooms are proposed, creating a large variety of unit types. A central courtyard offers private gardens for ground floor units as well as common green spaces. Roofs are used as communal terraces. All units have privileged relations to the outside through private gardens, verandas and winter gardens. Other amenities such as a daycare and shops are located on the ground floors of the housing blocks. Underground parking spaces are available for each unit.

Contextual Economy Inspired by the traditional late 19th century perimeter development, with dwelling facing the streets, and light industry in the courtyard, the housing blocks have been arranged in a U-shaped composition that is closed of by a row of eight atelier studios. The semi-public space in the courtyard of the project is linked to the existing public urban space through an alleyway.

Precursor The project has been an early promoter of a dense relation between housing and work within the city. This mixing condition was however already very present in the urban fabric of the late 19th century from which the projects takes great inspiration. Being located in a formerly industrial neighborhood, the project is also an early example for the urbanization of such areas. The intense connection between the existing buildings an the new intervention is demonstrated by the drawings of the architects, which represent the whole urban blog, including floor plans and sections of the existing surrounding architecture.

URBAN PAIMIO HYBRIDS AS ATLAS COLLECTIVE “Population growth in this HOUSING context cannot be translated simply in an increase in the number of housing units built. Starting from the observation that an urban fabric consists of much more than housing, it remains to define the planning mode of the remaining entities (public facilities, shops, parks, ...). What alternatives to the modernist logic of zoning, which has long shown its social limits and Environmental issues?”

Alvar Aalto’s most famous (and most bizarre) building Paimio. It is created for a certain purpose (Tuberculosis Sanatorium). With the interesting structure that can be filled with different types of programs : ( It can be an apartment building with different amenities, a school with daycare, co-working spaces, library, etc.) It is designed as an ideal “observatory” of the landscape. It is composed even slightly independent from its context that allows the Paimio to be positioned in different locations, elsewhere.

V+ Quai 10 2017 Charleroi, BE Public

Contextual Intelligence The Quai 10 cinema complex functions as a passageway between Charleroi station and the steadily redeveloping inner city. The courtyard of the former bank building opens up to continue the path of the pedestrian bridge over the Sambre river to the city centre. It allows for outdoor cultural events and daylight throughout the complex, which together with the waterfront café aims to re-activate the banks of the river.

Functional Mix The cinema was a strategic program in stimulating the local cultural landscape, as part of the larger regeneration plan for the city. Hence the ambition of Quai 10 to expand to the adjacent public space as much as possible by also accomodating a generous café and restaurant, able to host live concerts. Workshops and artist residences, meanwhile, make for further ‘habitation’ of the riverside volume. Apart from the internal functional mix, the lively cultural centre aims to incite a variety of new activites in the dilapidated neighborhood.

Precursor Charleroi was once the centre of Belgium’s coal industry, and saw a major increase in unemployment rates after the heavy industry left the city. In this context, several regeneration projects have been developed in recent years. Together with L’Escaut V+ also designed the new bankside and a pedestrian bridge, which is wide enough to function as a small square. Even though Charleroi originally lacked supervision over the different regeneration projects throughout the city, the coherent urban strategy of V+ set a constructive precedent.

51N4E/CRIT. Parkvilla 2012 Merksem, BE Public

Contextual Intelligence The Parkvilla is situated in a suburban neighborhood park which accomodates several leisure amenities. In order to minimize its footprint, the architects combined the municipality’s greenery service and a kindergarten in a single compact volume. It is conceived as a pavillion without a pre-defined front and back orientation, organized around a central courtyard with minimal space for circulation. This allows the pavillion to open up to the park on all sides.

Functional Mix The unlikely combination of programs in the Parkvilla demonstrates that intimate and infrastructural space are not incompatible. Instead of screening off both programs from each other, the Parkvilla allows for close encounters through a glass wall and a shared cafeteria. All the while the architecture expresses and contrasts the functionalities of the respective programs. Mixed functionality takes place on the scale of the park as well, as it further accomodates a school, several sporting facilities and high density apartment buildings.

The architecture of the Parkvilla breaks the barrier between the diverse needs for public amenities. By negotiating and planning urban space together, the mixed-use project transcends the sum of individual claims on urban space. Parkvilla demonstrates that amenities which are commonly deemed to be irreconcilable can co-exist. Above all, this encourages a spatial dialogue between different stakeholders.
