Narkomfin Housing Analysis
Narkomfin Building built in 1929 by Moisei Ginzburg uniquely used its spatial order to stimulate a new form of shared life. Each apartment included private cooking and bathing facilities with a communal pavilion linking each dwelling via two internal ‘streets’. The pavilion contained canteen, gymnasium, library and day nursery facilities, all surmounted by a shared food garden.
It pioneered new apartment layouts with the buildings cross-section revealing an innovative arrangement of three split-level units interlocking above and below the two communal ‘streets’ ; a composition that allowed spacious units, each with a double-height living room, to be arranged in dense configurations. This strategy was later adopted by Le Corbusier in his Ville …show more content…
Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier produced some sort of works that defined as ‘liberating living’ by Siegfried Giedion. Experiences and designs at CIAM the Congress International d’Architecture Moderne at 1929 represented new concepts in housing under topic of ‘Housing for Existential Minimum’ and introduced at series exhibitions in Wroclaw, Zurich, and Stockholm. (Segatini M.2008)
‘Functionality and standardization, minimal spaces and services, constituted the bases of the programmers initiated in every country to offer a housing ration sized to fit the nuclear family and responding to the quite serious problems of overcrowding and substandard hygiene.’(Segatini …show more content…
Density and public space are strongly interrelating elements, because the meaning and theoretical foundation of the building reveals with the interaction of empty spaces. (Segatini M.2008)
In the contemporary world, density found its social, urban and environmental meanings. In contemporary density does not mean a worthless junk anymore, it creates visual and symbolic useful nodes in the city. In the age of individual, values of high-density residential buildings are certainly different from modern more close to western architecture culture. The contemporary quest is something well known now, and principles of high-density residential project of today are;
(1)On the scale of the single dwelling, (2) flexibility of space, (3) the capacity to transform over time,(4) the potential for personalization. (Segatini
