Cover of "How Building Learn" with a visual example of matching buildings transforming over time. |
The ethos and ambitions are similar to the initial project brief for the Previ housing experiment and have lead to us begin to research and model the chronological development and progression of several of the housing typologies to see what has happened to them over the last 40 year period and as importantly to understand who has been responsible and involved in these changes.
The first set of properties below is based on existing published materials for Lotus Architectural Journal and later by García-Huidobro (et al 2008) that we have extracted and animated to show the chronology of changes. They show the original work of the architects Van Eyck (the development of the property of the familia Garcés) and James Stirling (the development of the property of the familia Zamora).

Here there are two examples of distinctive modernist architecture transforming over time into a local vernacular housing types.
