Since the early twentieth century, these often anonymously built and unappreciated structures have arisen all across the suburbs of Europe's major cities. In the multidisciplinary and international research project \u003ci\u003eMapping Public Housing, \u003c\/i\u003ethe Center for Studies in Architecture and Urbanism at the University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture has been tracing the architectural heritage of social housing. The findings demonstrate that, in many cases, vibrant neighborhoods and entire city districts have emerged from such social housing programs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book takes a closer look at exemplary developments in Germany, Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Spain. The case studies cover a wide range of social and historical contexts, from the beginnings of social housing in Portugal sparked by German investment during World War I to the propaganda policies associated with subsidized housing for the working class in the 1940s, and to sustainable concepts and ideas for the future. \u003ci\u003eHidden in Plain Sight\u003c\/i\u003e offers a wide-ranging panorama that recognizes the development of subsidized residential construction as a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the important role that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the European welfare state. A contemporary photo essay on a 1960s social housing complex in Lisbon rounds out this volume. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Park Publishing (WI)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45037544472727,"sku":"9783038602613","price":4316.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783038602613.webp?v=1767897649","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hidden-in-plain-sight-politics-and-design-in-state-subsidized-residential-architecture-9783038602613","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
