Subject abstract

From 1945 to 1965 three quarters of urbanized land in Europe was addressed to residential uses (Housing States, Dispersed City and spontaneous marginal urbanization). This unprecedented phenomena produced a great impact in the periphery of many European cities, where usually there’s a lack of basic conditions for urbanity and environmental balance.

Today, once the ferocious postmodern criticism to Modernism has been overcome, conditions for improvement and recovery of these outer territories need to be established. The commonly spread metropolitan scope of European cities become the opportunity to rethink some of the housing projects produced in Europe during the post-war period. Topics such as functional metropolitan complexity, relation to new infrastructures or environmental responsibility will be the main stream of design criteria for future interventions in these neighbourhoods.


In April 2012 the third edition of Eco-Rehab workshop, to be celebrated in the polish city of Krakow, will face the challenge of revisiting the most remarkable episodes of comunist Mass Housing States in Eastern Europe. Students and professors from several European Universities will be committed with the proposal of specific strategies of intervention.
