TY - THES A1 - Nogueira, Priscilla T1 - Brazilian battlers' housing. Histories of self-production - histories of social rise N2 - Brazilian battlers’ housing discusses the self-production of dwellings in the circumstances of the socioeconomic rise of the so-called Brazilian new middle class, occurred on the first decade of the years 2000. Battlers are a precarious working class of about 100 million people, who have used their recently increased purchase power to informally solve their private housing demands, planning, building and renovating their homes themselves, with limited technical knowledge and almost no access to formal technicians as for example architects. The result is a mode of housing production, which spreads over the territory in micro-local self-initiatives and informal social practices of construction and management. With the support of a controversial manpower, this practice presents all sorts of technical complications, but at the same time expedient ways of affordability and creative spatial solutions for ordinary constructive problems. Such initiatives have consolidated Brazilian informal settlements and peripheral subdivisions, attending a demand poorly responded by the government. This research recognises the benefits of the self-production, but questions the conditions under which it happens and asks if it really collaborates for a true social rise of those who are engaged in it. With an empirical and qualitative approach and taking dwelling construction processes leaded by battlers as main information sources, the academic work responds if and how the socioeconomic rise of the Brazilian battlers has exactly affected the self-production of dwellings. For that, battlers’ self-production of dwellings is analysed and discussed in five main aspects: 1) acquisition of land and real state, 2) building overtime, 3) space and creative power, 4) technical complications and building materials and 5) manpower and know-how.

A Morphological Analysis of Some Residential Agglomerations in Lisbon (1933-1950) T2 - Urban design and dictatorship in the 20th century: Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, Spain and Germany. History and Historiography N2 - Beiträge zum Symposium „Urban design and dictatorship in the 20th century: Italy, Portugal, the Soviet Union, Spain and Germany. History and Historiography“. Weimar, 21.-22. November 2013 N2 - For decades in Germany, historical research on dictatorial urban design in the first half of the 20th century focused on the National Socialist period. Studies on the urban design practices of other dictatorships remained an exception. This has changed. Meanwhile, the urban production practices of the Mussolini, Stalin, Salazar, Hitler and Franco dictatorships have become the subject of comprehensive research projects. Recently, a research group that studies dictatorial urban design in 20th century Europe has emerged at the Bauhaus-Institut für Geschichte und Theorie der Architektur und der Planung. The group is already able to refer to various research results. Part of the research group’s self-conception is the assumption that the urban design practices of the named dictatorships can only be properly understood from a European perspective. The dictatorships influenced one another substantially. Furthermore, the specificities of the practices of each dictatorship can only be discerned if one can compare them to those of the other dictatorships. This approach requires strict adherence to the research methods of planning history and urban design theory. Meanwhile, these methods must be opened to include those of general historical studies. With this symposium, the research group aims to further qualify this European perspective. The aim is to pursue an inventory of the various national historiographies on the topic of “urban design and dictatorship”. This inventory should offer an overview on the general national level of historical research on urban design as well as on the level of particular urban design projects, persons or topics. The symposium took place in Weimar, November 21-22, 2013. It was organized by Harald Bodenschatz, Piero Sassi and Max Welch Guerra and funded by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service).

Sie steht als Metapher für verschiedene kulturhistorische Epochen. Seit der Jahrhundertwende avancierte sie zum komprimierten Spiegelbild deutscher Befindlichkeiten. Für die Nationalsozialisten stellte Weimar eine wesentliche Station für ihren Aufstieg von München nach Berlin, einen erfolgreichen "Kampf- und Experimentierort" dar. Doch auch von 1932-1945 konnten sie in der Stadt außerordentlich aktiv werden. Beispielhaft äußerte sich das in den zeitgenössischen Bauprojekten, in der zeitgenössischen Baupolitik. Die Dissertation behandelt die gesamte Spannbreite der baulichen und planerischen Aktivitäten in und um Weimar in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus. Sie thematisiert sowohl die repräsentativen Projekte, als auch die Baulichkeiten des Komplexes zum Konzentrationslager Weimar-Buchenwald, ebenso die Wohn- und Kulturbauten, die Kasernenarchitekturen, die Industrie-, Verkehrs- und Behelfsbauten sowie städtebauliche Planungen. Die Gebäude und Komplexe werden im kulturpolitischen Kontext betrachtet, planungs- und baugeschichtlich untersucht, umfassend architektonisch-gestalterisch und städtebaulich-gestalterisch analysiert, dokumentiert, in ihrer gegenseitigen Beeinflussung dargestellt, verglichen und gewertet. Gegebenenfalls werden Querbeziehungen zu anderen Objekten in Deutschland, außerdem zu zeitgleichen nichtbaulichen Ereignissen in Weimar bzw. Deutschland aufgezeigt. Ein Gesamtbild zur Bauplanung und zum Bauschaffen im Dritten Reich in einer Stadt, beispielhaft in der symbolbeladenen Stadt Weimar wird erstellt; ein Stück verdrängter Kulturgeschichte der Stadt Weimar wird rekonstruiert. N2 - The town of Weimar occupies a special position in German history and how it is regarded. It acts as a metaphor for different cultural and historical epochs. Since the turn of the century Weimar has advanced to a concentrated mirror-image of all things German. For the National Socialists Weimar represented a significant station in its ascent from Munich to Berlin, a successful place for "battle and experimentation". Between the years of 1932-45 they became extraordinarily active in the town, as reflected in the building projects and building policy of the time. The thesis examines the entire extent of building and planning activities in and around Weimar during the time of National Socialism. It discusses not only representative buildings but also the concentration camp complex Weimar-Buchenwald, as well as residential and cultural buildings, military barracks, industrial and temporary buildings, infrastructure and urban planning. The buildings and building complexes are regarded from within their political and cultural context, their planning and historical background examined, their architectonic and urban qualities analysed. Relative and reciprocal influences are demonstrated, compared and assessed, and parallels to other contemporary builtobjects and non-built historical events in Germany and Weimar revealed.
