添加標簽 | 總結: | Alison and Peter Smithson intellectual and design processes have provoked contemporary discourses that have been manifested through a series of exhibitions that put on the roundtable the possibility of articulating new ideas about housing. The exhibitions “The House of the Future” (1956), “Robin Hood Gardens: Re–visions” (2009), “A Clockwork Jerusalem” (2014) and “Robin Hood Gardens: A Ruin in Reverse” (2018) denote how their work is a source of research towards the reinvention of “the art of inhabiting” and the importance of criticising through exhibiting. In the core of the discussion is the social housing project “Robin Hood Gardens”, whose analysis aims to: 1) Overcome real estate and mass media pressure, 2) Consider transformation and preservation as a sustainable alternative, and 3) Set free Modern Architecture post–war housing from its stigmata. The outcome: stablish new discourses about contemporary dwelling. |
