{"product_id":"contested-legacies-andrea-migotto-9789462703728","title":"Contested Legacies: Critical Perspectives on Post-War Modern Housing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the light of the current housing and environmental crisis and increasing social inequalities, there is a growing sense of urgency for architecture as a discipline to engage with the transformation in housing evident in the postwar period. Rather than conceiving this task as a technical matter, this book proposes to reassess the conditions and legacy of this large and ubiquitous housing stock. By foregrounding the mismatch between constructed cultural, social and ideological narratives and the everyday realities of residents, the contributors rediscover the value of often-overlooked modern open spaces and reconsider the technological advances that paved the way for this large-scale construction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContested Legacies\u003c\/i\u003e advances a new notion of heritage which, rather than seeking to preserve the past, sets outs to actively transform what exists to meet current societal needs. It offers an 'atlas' of exemplary cases, each illustrating a defining yet often neglected aspect of modern postwar housing, from which present engagement and active reflection can grow, making the book an appealing read for both scholars and housing practitioners worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFree ebook available at OAPEN Library, JSTOR, Project Muse, and Open Research Library\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: Umberto Bonomo (Pontificia Universidad Catica de Chile), Fl疱ia Brito do Nascimento (Universidade de S縊 Paulo), Gaia Caramellino (Politecnico di Milano), Federico Coricelli (Politecnico di Torino), Jesse Honsa (KU Leuven), Michael Klein (TU Wien), Andrea Migotto (KU Leuven), Nicola Russi (Politecnico di Torino), Heidi Svenningsen Kajita (University of Copenhagen), Martino Tattara (KU Leuven)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Migotto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462703728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462703728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Leuven University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.16w x 0.58d","brand":"Andrea Migotto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201821044991,"sku":"9789462703728","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9fd7fbc-7f83-4875-a3d6-d82b759e1966.jpg?v=1691491609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contested-legacies-andrea-migotto-9789462703728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
