Abstract

Upon encountering the housing crisis after World War I, Many avant-garde architects focused on functional studies, typological development, and construction experiments about collective dwellings. From the ideal conception of Le Corbusier in the early 1920s to the experiences from Pessac and Frankfurt housing settlement, sachlichkeit architects took a big step forward in material dimension. Occasionally during international events like Weissenhofsiedlung and CIAM, theoretical studies and practical approach converged into housing discourse. With self-consciousness as a socio-cultural organizer in a broader sense, modern architects considered housing problems in terms of rational and scientific research to define the ideological image of modern life, and then expressed the image of New Life by means of the configurative tactile functional objects. Without any filters of critical judgment, this study aims to review the seemingly controversial process of the modern housing movement and its discourse as a whole, as it was.
