ドイツ発の建築・都市化に焦点を当てた雑誌「ARCH+」244号。本号のテーマは「VIENNA – THE END OF HOUSING (AS A TYPOLOGY)」。

波乱に満ちた1世紀の間に多くの変化と変貌を遂げ、現在は活発な建設・開発活動を伴っているオーストリアの首都ウィーンにおける膨大な人口増加の観点から考察し、ウィーンを例にとることで住宅建設そのものの現状を取り上げる。

今日、住宅を建設する場合、どのようにするのが良いのだろうか。単機能的なタイポロジーや、居住と仕事の機能的・空間的分離は、今もなお我々の生活における「現実」に対応しているのだろうか。社会的住宅とはどのようなものなのか－。

Anyone looking for role models for a successful housing policy will sooner or later end up in "Red Vienna". Its myth is unbroken and owes its existence to the Viennese municipality's enduring political insight that housing is a social responsibility and must not be left to the market alone. Despite this basic consensus, Vienna's housing policy has undergone many changes and transformations over the course of an eventful century and has certainly become more market-oriented in the process. But it has never lost sight of two crucial things: the need to build and maintain a housing stock and its lasting social ties, and the need to reserve land. Against this background and in view of the enormous population growth in the Austrian capital, which is currently accompanied by lively construction and development activity, this publication uses the example of Vienna to address the status quo of housing construction. When building housing today, how? Do monofunctional typologies and the functional-spatial separation of living and working still correspond to the realities of our lives? How social is social housing?
