A BRIDGE BETWEEN EAST AND WEST

ART FAIRS INTERNATIONAL NEWSPAPER

A Vital Retaliation: Malka’s Petit Paris Since the last century, Malka Architecture has devoted itself to neglected urban spaces and their reappropriation through alternative implantations. Stéphane Malka has recently completed an experimental work entitled Le Petit Paris which proposes dozens of projects around Paris. In this open call to publishers, Malka Architecture offers an exclusive sneak preview of this chronicle of intervention-grand aspirations clad in micro-architecture; design unleashed in hand-to-hand combat. In the tradition of visionary architects such as Piranesi and his idealistic visions of 18th century Rome, or of the futuristic Sant’elia and his theoretical projects, “Le Petit Paris” is a collection of projects set around the city of Paris. Representative of a new architectural reading appropriate to the 21st century, these projects do not reflect an ideal city in the tradition of theoretical projects since the renaissance, but instead reflect a society in crisis, with its spaces and people left behind. The place of man, his sentiments, his expectations, his aspirations, and his limits are at the heart

BY MICHAEL FIFIELD, FAIA, AICP

In his book, Green Metropolis, author David Owen makes a convincing argument that New York City is the most sustainable city in the U.S. Smaller residential units, higher densities, fewer households owning automobiles, fewer miles traveled for those who do own automobiles, all contribute to a more sustainable environment. Essentially, less energy is used in high-density cities like New York. Examples of someone making a home in only 100 square feet of space have become a common feature in the Thursday NY Times Home Section. Creative use of space with a great deal of flexibility and multiple use of various components is essential to accommodate most New Yorkers’ basic needs in a tiny apartment. With housing costs so high in major cities like New York, living in a small unit is expected. However, my interests and focus has been in convincing people and cities that there are benefits to applying New York’s smaller residencies to places in which they are not an absolute necessity. Household size has changed considerably in recent years with over 26% of all U.S. households consisting of only one person. Nationally, married couples with children comprise roughly only 23% of all U.S. households. Yet we continue to provide few attractive alternatives from either the grandiose single-family house in suburbia or some form of multi-family housing in the inner city. Suburban sprawl is extremely detrimental to maintaining a vital and sustainable environment. With increasing world population and diminishing natural resources, maintaining our existing agricultural land, recreational areas, forests, and wetlands is essential. Jared Diamond, in his book Collapse, his sequel to Guns, Germs, and Steel, cites many examples of entire cultures that have disappeared because of poor land-use practices. While most examples are Pacific Island nations, there is one chapter on "Montana" where poor environmental practices have led to many economic problems that severely impact the quality of life. What is needed, I believe, to address these concerns, is to develop new strategies to curtail growth on the periphery of our cities by providing housing forms that are attractive and fulfill the needs of what is expected for those who currently live in large, single-family detached houses. What we need to do is to rethink that middle zone, just outside the city center, where existing neighborhoods could be reconfigured to address new and emerging lifestyles as well as changing demographics and household sizes. The key to sustainability in the future is to provide some form of attached dwelling unit—increasing density and requiring less infrastructure—but there are still concerns about issues of privacy, noise, lack of identity, etc. I think this can be alleviated through proper design. Another form of housing that has tremendous positive implications is the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), sometimes known as a granny flat. Typically, ADUs are limited to 800 square feet and can be either attached to the main dwelling unit or as a separate structure. These units can be occupied by a family member, or rented out to provide additional income. The most positive aspect of an ADU is that it provides opportunities for aging in place—an idea that is essential to maintaining one’s quality of life but has become a luxury and near impossibility in contemporary society. In my own architectural practice, I have recently completed a small—269 square foot—studio for an artist client who lives abroad most of the year, but who wishes to come back and visit friends and paint during the summer. In designing small residential units, there are a number of design principles to consider in order to make that unit feel more spacious and homelike—as opposed to feeling like a temporary storage space. Incorporating multiple uses within the space of one room is a way to maximize function and square footage; a home office may also be a guest

“With increasing world population and diminishing natural resources, maintaining our existing agricultura” serve to extend the visual perception of the room. Interior rooms that open directly to the outdoors allow for interior spaces to spill over to the outside. Furthermore, walls and ceilings have a certain thickness that can be taken advantage of in order to extend the perception of the size of a room; leaving ceiling joist or beams exposed extends the perception of the height of a room and providing built-in shelves and drawers in walls not only provides much needed storage space, but it can also provide richness to an otherwise sterile looking room. The most essential design principle is the will to challenge the conventional. I always tell my students in my housing courses as well as potential clients, that if you remove the title of a room from a set of drawings, and if that space can appear to be not only a great sleeping area, but perhaps a study, a home office, or other use, and be a great space for any of those uses, then you are on the right track to making a small house a special place.

The Curators and Architects BY MICHAEL FIFIELD, FAIA, AICP

feld72 describes itself as a “collective” organization, with the purpose of exploring the intersection between architecture, applied urbanism and art. Working as both architects and investigators of urban settings, Anne Catherine Fleith, Michael Obrist, Mario Paintner, Richard Scheich, and Peter Zodere r have created projects that focus on finding new strategies for “cliché-dominated or underestimated” urban conditions from their office in Vienna. Its work often expand the field of architecture, concentrating on a series of “ Urban Strategies,” which examines the issues surrounding the use and perception of public space, a task realized through numerous buildings and researches in an international context. Feld72’s experiments in discovering these strategies are functional yet philosophical. Kari Jormakka, wrote in Theory and Design in the Fourth Machine Age; “There is no break between the theoretical and experimental projects of feld72 and their designs for buildings: all of their work, irrespective of scale or means, investigates how the world is engaged and perceived through the lens of architecture.” In projects like Public Parameters, Toronto Barbeque, and MuseumsQuartier, feld72 studied how the built environment contributes to the construction of life, especially the ways in which the architecture partakes and integrates with daily social relations. Many of feld72’s works understands architecture

performatively and ritualistically by involving the audience—or in this case the ‘everyman’—as an element of the work. It has launched public discussions, debates, correspondence and events, incorporating the participation of the public into the construction of the architecture. One of feld72’s projects enacted in order to find tools for increasing the possibilities of public space, PublicTrailers, utilizes the accessibility of bicycle trailers as a performative tool that allows the masses to react to the city in ways they have never before. The “hegemonially-agreed patterns of behavior” are broken and a more vivacious kind of urban life is created. This piece takes advantage of the ecological and economic qualities of bicycles to incite a quick yet diverse reaction from the public. The purpose is for the users to find new ways to “combine different layers of public life that could go from a practical solution of daily life problems, to surreal moments in space, to a highly performative ‘culture of congestion.’ The eventual goal of this project is to break the monotony of functionality in public arenas and to increase the adventurous potential of these spaces. The importance of a public in constant and close contact with the city that surrounds them is deeply felt. Stationed in cities such as Shenzen, London, and Milan, PublicTrailers is a work designed to pro-

mote a sense of community often lost in the chaos of a large metropolis. These new strategies allow the masses to view their municipality in a revived way, breathing new life into older, perhaps forgotten parts of the city and forcing the public to engage— joyously—with their surrounding urban environment.
