The design of domestic environments is fraught with decision-making, a process often dictated by fashion. The resulting inhabitation of domestic spaces blends the routine and the banal, with occasional forays into the extraordinary. The spaces of the domesticity range from single rooms to elaborate palaces. These can be functionally prescribed or open-ended, they support furniture, décor, behaviours, and narratives. The writer Georges Perec (1936–82) provides a way of looking at the domestic realm and ordinary life through his many inter-related writings on the subject. In his quest for an ‘anthropology of everyday life’, he explored notions of the ‘ordinary’ and ‘infraordinary’. In this text two important works by Perec are examined to explore how he framed and questioned notions of domesticity; can this reading be construed as a theory of domesticity? Perec’s text Species of Spaces describes a spatial continuity between city and dwelling that is characterised by spatial types, thresholds/boundaries, objects, and everyday practices often of an autobiographical nature. He begins with the page, ascends through the apartment building and the city, and ends with the world in a sequence of embedded spatial conditions. A close read of Species of Spaces uncovers a kind of sociological work, a critique or manifesto, and an evolution from Perec’s previous writings. In the text he asks the most fundamental questions, such as ‘What does it mean, to live in a room?’ In his monumental text Life A User’s Manual, Perec examines the lives of residents in a typical Parisian apartment building, it remains one of the most significant imaginings of how a building, or work of architecture, can be occupied. Through the vast scope of Perec’s project the book captures the intertwining lives of the occupants of the building at 11 Rue Simon-Crubellier, in Paris’s 17th arrondissement, at precisely 8:00 pm on 23 June 1975. To accomplish this Perec devised forty-two ‘preprogrammed’ factors to structure each of the ninety-nine chapters to ensure that he covered plot, actors, and setting in a systematic way. The apartment building ultimately provides an armature for the study of the very small to the very large. Life A User’s Manual describes a domestic world, how we organise our residences into compartments of space, how we furnish the rooms, how our stories create our realities, and how the lives of people in an ordinary apartment building intertwine in so many ways. Although frozen in a moment, the novel captures the vagaries and complexities of the everyday. It describes the routines of living, unexpected happenings, the connections between people living together at close quarters, the role of interiors in defining a particular period, the histories that can support and damage a life, the common aspirations and tragedies of urban dwellers, and so on. Perec's work does not constitute an actual theory of domesticity, although it precisely describes a domestic order that pro
家居环境的设计充满了决策,这一过程往往由时尚主导。由此产生的家庭空间居住融合了常规和平庸,偶尔也会进入非凡的领域。家庭生活的空间从单间到精致的宫殿都有。这些可以是功能性规定的,也可以是开放式的,它们支持家具、数据交换、行为和叙述。作家乔治·佩雷克(georgeperec, 1936-82)通过他关于这个主题的许多相互关联的作品,提供了一种看待家庭领域和日常生活的方式。在他对“日常生活人类学”的追求中,他探索了“平凡”和“不平凡”的概念。本文考察了佩莱克的两部重要作品,以探讨他如何构建和质疑家庭生活的概念;这种解读能被理解为一种家庭生活理论吗?Perec的文本《空间物种》(Species of Spaces)描述了城市和住宅之间的空间连续性,其特征是空间类型、门槛/边界、物体和通常具有自传性质的日常实践。他从页面开始,上升穿过公寓大楼和城市,并在一系列嵌入的空间条件中以世界结束。仔细阅读《空间物种》,你会发现它是一种社会学作品,是一种批判或宣言,是佩雷克之前作品的演变。在文章中,他提出了一些最基本的问题,比如“住在一个房间里意味着什么?”在他的巨著《生活用户手册》中,Perec考察了典型的巴黎公寓楼里居民的生活,它仍然是关于如何使用建筑物或建筑作品的最重要的想象之一。通过Perec项目的广泛范围,这本书捕捉到了1975年6月23日晚上8点整,巴黎17区Simon-Crubellier街11号大楼里的居住者相互交织的生活。为了实现这一目标,佩雷克设计了42个“预先编程”的因素来构建99章中的每一章,以确保他以系统的方式涵盖了情节、演员和背景。公寓大楼最终为从很小到很大的研究提供了一个框架。《生活用户手册》描述了一个家庭世界,我们如何将我们的住宅组织成空间隔间,我们如何布置房间,我们的故事如何创造我们的现实,以及一栋普通公寓大楼里人们的生活如何以多种方式相互交织。小说虽然停留在一个瞬间,但却捕捉到了日常生活的变幻莫测和复杂性。它描述了日常生活、意外事件、近距离居住在一起的人们之间的联系、室内设计在定义特定时期中的作用、可以支持和破坏生活的历史、城市居民的共同愿望和悲剧等等。Perec的工作并没有构成一个实际的家庭生活理论,尽管它精确地描述了一种家庭秩序,通过关注环境的次要和主要方面来提供一种地方感。

This article provides an English translation of an unpublished German typescript found in the archive of the architect Julius Posener in the Akademie der Kunst, Berlin. Posener, a professor of architectural history at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste (HBK), travelled with a colleague and fifteen students to England for a fortnight in March 1963. They met several prominent architects, saw a wide selection of their current and recently completed works, and attended events at the Architectural Association school. The typescript is an account of the trip that he wrote up from notes in his diary on 29 March, two days after their return. Posener, who had previously spent almost a decade teaching architecture in London, proves to have been a sympathetic observer of the scene, eager to compare and contrast what he saw in England with contemporary work in Germany; his account evokes subtle disagreements between himself and his colleague on conceptual and historical points, and gives us an insight into the day-to-day workings of Denys Lasdun’s office, the Architectural Association, the London County Council, and the Building Research Station in Garston.

opening article, Mohamed Gamal Abdelmonem examines recent architecture and urban design in Belfast city centre, produced out of that city’s distinctive political troubles, divisions and power relations (pp. 130–152). ‘Inscribed by memories of conflict and violence’, he shows, ‘ground floor façades are mainly solid, disengaging and do not encourage fluid movement.’ The design of new buildings and public spaces in central Belfast ‘characterise attributes of a reciprocal reproduction of memories of fear’ – both resulting from the political situation and reproducing its effects. Meanwhile, writing about the Chinese Pavilion at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, built shortly after China’s Boxer Rebellion, Yinrui Xie shows how the choice of certain royal and vernacular motifs, and by extension the omission of others, ‘reflected the Chinese government’s early self-vision of its global image in an age of political turmoil’ (pp. 153–168). Presenting a particular ‘architectural “Chinese-ness” in the early twentieth century’, the design illustrates the characterisation of political power in articulating and producing architectural form. In contrast, Michael Asgaard Andersen and Mette Boisen Lyhne study the empowerment of inhabitants in design processes, examining how bofællesskaber – or cohousing – in Denmark results from power relations at work in procurement processes (pp. 197–208). Since the 1970s, they show, the commissioning of such developments has become increasingly top-down. The authors argue for a return to ‘co-creation in cohousing’ to ‘contribute to a more diverse and affordable development of mainstream housing and neighbourhoods’. Testing the analytical potential of creative architectural representation, Esen Gökçe Özdamar reviews the use of a zoetrope to read İstiklal Street in İstanbul – a thoroughfare associated with state power, political action, and its suppression – in forming the identity and collective memory of the city (pp. 169–183). The mechanical device ‘was used not to direct the viewer’s gaze, but rather as an inhabitable space that [participants] could enter’. Frank Lyons, however, is concerned with how designers exert power, through architecture and urban design, over the everyday lives of inhabitants (pp. 185–196). ‘In constructing urban environments’, he argues, ‘we seem to have forgotten that form has power; that poor form makes us feel poor; ill-conceived form makes us feel ill.’ Indeed, Lyons suggests, the ‘misuse of the “silent” power of form is perhaps one of the greatest threats to our cities and to city life’. This is an issue so subtle, he suggests, that it ‘goes unnoticed by most’.

Esen Gökçe Özdamar
This article examines multi-modal perceptions of İstiklal Street, a public space in İstanbul, using a zoetrope, an optical, scientific, and educational instrument invented in the mid-nineteenth century that was a predecessor to film in early cinema. It discusses how this tool increases the awareness of architectural students to environmental perception through observation. Constructing a black curtained zoetrope with a radius of five metres allowed them to metaphorically inhabit the optical device as it was large enough for their bodies to enter. After experiencing İstiklal Street as flâneur/flâneuse, students aimed to understand its heterogenous and fragmented narrative using the zoetrope. Re-reading the street through a zoetrope enabled a paradoxical interplay between the device and its scale. By interacting with a zoetrope to create different fragmented movements and scales, movement in the urban space was understood as more than a visual perception or transient state of curiosity. Instead, the students comprehended architectural production through filmmaking as ‘a mode of reflection’ rather than as mere representation. The zoetrope became a medium through which the students’ visual, haptic, and kinaesthetic senses were fused together.

This article investigates architectural responses to everyday sociospatial practices in public spaces in the postconflict urban landscape of Belfast, where public buildings and façades impact pedestrian flows and movement patterns in the public space. While the city has an extended history of vibrant public spaces and active urban life throughout the first half of the twentieth century, devastating memories of the so-called Troubles leave imprints of division across the city’s public spaces. Inscribed by memories of conflict and violence, ground floor façades are mainly solid, disengaging, and do not encourage fluid movement across their thresholds. This article argues that the architectural design of public buildings and spaces characterise attributes of a reciprocal reproduction of memories of fear. A comparative analysis of the architecture of four different public spaces in Belfast city centre highlights factors that inform the relationship between the building façades, ease of accessibility, and use of the public space.

In this article, we explore how different kinds and varying degrees of co-creation have shaped cohousing in Denmark over the past half century. The first part of the article is concerned with how this is related to types of ownership and ways of establishing new communities; the second part to the role of the architect, arguing for more experimental and open processes; and the third part to resident mix and community life, which raises questions of diversity and the unfinished. The article concludes with a discussion of how the accumulated experiences may contribute to strengthening a sense of belonging and community in future cohousing during the processes of both construction and habitation.

After the Boxer Rebellion ended with China’s crushing defeat and the signing of the Boxer Protocol, China participated in the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition as its official debut at world’s fairs. The Chinese pavilion was supposed to represent the country’s national pride and cultural identity, yet ironically, the pavilion materialised the Chinese government’s weak position in its quasi-colonial relationship with the US – both politically and culturally – in terms of the appointment of architects, the design process, and the arrangement of construction. Such power interaction shaped an ambiguous ‘Chinese architecture’ presented at the fair, imitating the Beijing residence of a Chinese Prince while incorporating vernacular architectural elements from south China. It reflected the Chinese government’s early self-vision of its global image in an age of political turmoil and cultural uncertainty, and pioneered the exploration of an architectural ‘Chinese-ness’ in the early twentieth century.

Such power interaction shaped an ambiguous ‘Chinese architecture’ presented at the fair, imitating the Beijing residence of a Chinese Prince while incorporating vernacular architectural elements from south China. It reflected the Chinese government’s early self-vision of its global image in an age of political turmoil and cultural uncertainty, and pioneered the exploration of an architectural ‘Chinese-ness’ in the early twentieth century.","PeriodicalId":43799,"journal":{"name":"arq-Architectural Research Quarterly","volume":"1 1","pages":"153 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74859864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
