Walter Gropius, Internationale Architektur, Bauhaus Bücher, 1925 A flourishing worldwide network of interactions among modern architects existed long before the famous MoMA exhibition, that picked up Gropius’s slogan. Modern Architecture: International Exhibition, installed at Museum of Modern Art, New York City February 9,1932 through March 23, 1932 CIRPAC preparatory meeting of CIAM 4, Barcelona De 8 en Opbouw, architectural journal Far from being limited to the circulation of styles, the internationalization of architecture manifested itself in a variety of formats AC (Documentos de actividad contemporánea), publication of the GATEPAC Conferences Periodicals Organizations Before that exhibition, architects were engaging with one another in new and diverse ways. The opposed to internationalism Between 1926 and 1928, Paul Schultze-Naumburg published a series of books that became progressively more nationalist and racist in tone. These helped to polarize the public debate between Modernists and traditionalists, identifying the later with the ideas of National Socialism. Everybody was not supporting modenism Ernst May, Neue Frankfurt master plan, 1928 The "Heimat" ("Homeland") style became increasingly associated with National Socialism and the extreme Right, in opposition to the Modernism favored by the Social Democratic Party.

The Declaration proclaimed that: CIAM “battle plan” drawn by Le Corbusier for La Sarraz meeting, 1928. “urbanism can no longer submit exclusively to the rules 24 architects from 8 countries. of a gratitious aestheticism.

Le Corbusier wished to accommodate architecture to the demands of large-scale nature.” industrial capitalism. The Dutch, German, and German-Swiss wanted to use the advanced techniques of capitalism to help bring about a new collectivist society. These conflicts can be seen in the different versions of the text of the Declaration. The basic point of difference was over the architect’s proper role in modern society:. In the French text: the role of the architect is understood to be that of a technician who, in associating himself with industry, moves beyond the academic tradition. Sigfried Giedion, Bauen in Frankreich, Bauen in Eisen, Bauen. In the German text: the problem is how to fix the architect into the productive in Eisenbegon, 1928. Book jacket by Lazló Moholy-Nagy process. 1. Urbanism: Urbanism is the organization of all the functions of collective life; it extends over both urban agglomerations and over the countryside…Urbanization cannot be conditioned by the pretensions of a pre-existent estheticism: its essence is of a functional order. 2. This order consists of three functions: dwelling, producing, and relaxation (maintenance of the species). Its essential objects are land subdivisions, regulation of traffic, building legislation. 3. The chaotic division of land, resulting from sales, speculations, inheritances, must be abolished by a collective and methodological land economy. And this land redistribution, the indispensable preliminary basis for any town planning, must include the just division between the owners and community of the unearned increment resulting from works of joint interest. 4. There must be a traffic control. 5. There must be a new building legislation.

Ernst May, Neue Frankfurt master plan Bornheimer Hang Siedlung, 1930 It addressed urban form with a focus on hygiene and mass production. Participants discussed the theme of the rational development of the housing schemes. The goal was the “aireation” of the elements of the city. Group photograph, CIAM 3, Brussels, 1930. Gropius’s big question in this conference was whether there should be built Low-, Mid-, High-Rise Buildings? Le Corbusier, La Ville Radieuse, 1930 One of twenty theoretical plates of the “Ville Radieuse”. These four city schemes, on the same scale, show the real evolution of the use of urban land. Gropius, Zeilenbau Housing Project, Karlsruhe, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany, 1931 Gropius in his talk illustrated old and new block division methods and showed how taller, more widely spaced slab buildings could house more people per hectare. The comments on the plans made the discourse of CIAM 3 clear: The CIAM excluded the Garden City, the Beaux-Arts, and Berlage’s urbanistic methods as well as any kind of explicit “formalism.” All forms of traditional urbanism were seen through a regularizing prism that made them appear dark, unsanitary, and chaotic, unsuited to “modern needs.” Publication of CIAM 3 Categorized as low, middle, or high-rise, the majority of projects displayed at CIAM 3 exhibition and published in Rationelle Bebauungsweisen came from Holland (11), Germany (9), Belgium (8), Switzerland (6), with some other few from France, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.

But the aggresive campaign against modern architecture in the USSR led the organizers to relocate the 1933 meeting to Athens. Stills from László Moholy-Nagy: The Architects‘ Congress, 1933 https://vimeo.com/283726259 Discussions started in international waters, as participants sailed to Athens from Marseille aboard the Patris II, a ship belonging to a relative of Christian Zervos, publisher of the magazine Cahier d’Art, following a proposal by Marcel Breuer. Discussions resolved around a graphic display that addressed the urban situation of some 30 cities, the plans of which featured standardized grids underscoring the similarity of problems from one city to the next.

Developed by Bauhaus students: Wilhelm Hess, Cornelis van der Linden, Hubert Hoffnann Analytical map 3. The city with the environment Barcelona analyzed using a system of universal codification Le Corbusier emphasized that the base of CIAM’s judgments must be “dwelling,” the first of the hierarchy of four functions: dwelling, work, amusement (soon changed to “leisure”) and circulation. The concentrated city, favored with modern techniques, assures the liberty of the individual within the housing fabric and organizes the collective life in relation to recreation (loisirs). While the garden city pattern satisfies the individual, he argued that it loses the advantages of collective organization. Le Corbusier speaking on the Patris II, CIAM 4, July 30, 1933. ”Constatations” (Observations) were published in the journal of the Technical Chamber of Greece, November 1933. DWELLING: CIAM found that population densities were typically too high in historic centers, with up to 1025 people per hectare, conditions were unhealthy and open spaces were lacking. LEISURE: Existing free areas were found to be generally insufficient for recreation, or poorly situated to benefit the inhabitants of dense central areas. CIAM called for the demolition of these central areas, to be turned into green spaces, with preschools, schools, and other collective facilities sited in them. WORK: CIAM found that workplaces were generally not well-situated for their functions, and that the relationship between dwelling and workplace was not rational, as it usually required long commutes (1 hour in Berlin, 1.5 hours CIAM 4, Athens, SS Patris, 1933 in London). They recommended that travel distances should be reduced to a minimum, and that industrial quarters, separated from housing and buffered by a neutral zone of green areas and sports fields, should be located adjacent to transportation routes. CIRCULATION: CIAM observed that most cities had medieval street patterns, which had become unsuitable for modern means of transportation such as streetcars and automobiles. The proposed that rigorous statistical methods be used to establish rational street widths, classed according to the speed of different means of transport. Housing quarters should be isolated from major transportation routes by green zones. HISTORIC DISTRICTS OF THE CITY: CIAM stated that historic monuments should be respected when they “are a pure expression of previous cultures and are of general interest”; when their conservation does not mean that their inhabitants have to live in unhealthy conditions; and when main traffic routes can be routed around them. At the same time, they declared that “aesthetic adaptation” of new buildings in historic districts has “evil consequences,” which should not be tolerated in any form. The destruction of slums around historic monuments provides green areas that can improve health conditions. REQUIREMENTS: CIAM demanded that housing districts should occupy the best sites, and a minimum amount of solar exposure should be required in all dwellings. For hygienic reasons, buildings should not be built along transportation routes, and modern techniques should be used to construct high apartment buildings spaced widely apart, to free the soil for large green parks.
