Gaudí in the US: New Foundations in Post-War Architecture Criticism
Creators: name: Trius, Elena
Publisher: name: Histories of Postwar Architecture
Year: 2020
Subjects: Collins; Gaudí; Architecture; Barcelona; Post-War Criticism

description: George Collins’ book “Antonio Gaudí” was published as part of the collection “The Mas- ters of World Architecture Series” in 1960. In a moment of theoretical fragmentation around the gure of the architect, it quickly became a key text in the subsequent criticism study of the architectural work of Gaudí, and still today it is known as the first extensive monograph published in the English language.

description: This article considers the 1953 Museum of Modern Art exhibitionBuilt in USA: Post-War Architecturein relation to American diplomacy during the Cold War. By examining the international circulation of Built in USAby both governmental and cultural sector institution, we situate American postwar architecture within the informational agendas of a broader ideological struggle. We consider the engagement of media – image circulation and administrative apparatuses – with geopolitical forces and show the way in which architecture, in its status as a form of media, recursively negotiated them.

Museum Exhibitions as Mass Media spreading Architectural Ideas from Europe to USA in 20th Century
Creators: name: Russo Spena, Raffaella
Publisher: name: Histories of Postwar Architecture
Year: 2020
Subjects: Architectural Exhibitions; NewYork MoMA and Architecture; Media Reproduction

description: The present paper is aimed to illustrate the role played by architectural exhibitions in promoting debates on architecture from the early Thirties to the Fifties of last century. Both the exhibitions and the accompanying publications such as catalogues, books and magazines, acts as significant communication media in shaping and directing architectural discourses. The first of these exhibitions was a significant historical event, which officially announced architecture of the early 20th century as “International Style” to the USA public, professional and even educational audience. Referring to Walter Benjamin’s definition of “reproduction” and to the subsequent notions of “production“ and “reproduction” discussed by Beatriz Colomina, the role of the New York MoMA architectural exhibitions as architectural media in reproducing the works of architecture and reformulating the agenda of 20th century modern architecture especially in USA, are emphasized. In the light of the arguments handled by Colomina, architectural exhibitions and associated books or catalogues are considered as “critical acts”, in which the work of architecture, and architecture itself in theoretic, aesthetic and functional terms, is interpreted, reproduced and publicized. Architectural exhibitions, being a subject in itself, puts the objects displayed into a critical process, as a medium of reproduction in which the works are re-interpreted and diffused through magazines and other press devices. Such a spreading diffusion becomes, in turn, a further object reproduced by critics, historians and professional architects.

Counterfactual Sensitivity and Robustness

description: We propose a framework for analyzing the sensitivity of counterfactuals to parametric assumptions about the distribution of latent variables in structural models. In particular, we derive bounds on counterfactuals as the distribution of latent variables spans nonparametric neighborhoods of a given parametric specification while other "structural" features of the model are maintained. Our approach recasts the infinite-dimensional problem of optimizing the counterfactual with respect to the distribution of latent variables (subject to model constraints) as a finite-dimensional convex program. We also develop an MPEC version of our method to further simplify computation in models with endogenous parameters (e.g., value functions) defined by equilibrium constraints. We propose plug-in estimators of the bounds and two methods for inference. We also show that our bounds converge to the sharp nonparametric bounds on counterfactuals as the neighborhood size becomes large. To illustrate the broad applicability of our procedure, we present empirical applications to matching models with transferable utility and dynamic discrete choice models.

description: Globe artichoke has been long considered a nutraceutical food for its valuable content of bioactive compounds. However, beside a well-known polyphenol profile, poor information is available about its metabolite and mineral composition. The aim of this study was to investigate edible parts of Sicilian artichokes, ‘Spinoso di Menfi’ and ‘Violetto di Niscemi’, by 1H NMR and ICP-MS for elucidating these compositional aspects. Although bracts and hearts of both artichokes shared a very similar metabolite pattern, ‘Spinoso di Menfi’ showed a higher number of metabolites, such as amino acids and polyphenols, than ‘Violetto di Niscemi’. ‘Spinoso di Menfi’ was also marked by higher levels of macro- and microelements when compared to ‘Violetto di Niscemi’. Also, artichoke heart demonstrated to accumulate higher mineral levels than bracts. 1H NMR and ICP-MS successfully profiled metabolites and metals in such plant food, partially covering the lack of literature data about ‘Spinoso di Menfi’ and ‘Violetto di Niscemi’ artichokes.

description: Time and again, the Barcelona-based magazine Arquitecturas Bis (published from 1974 to 1985) has been studied and analyzed through the Italian-North American polarity, based on the linkages created with its contemporaries Oppositions (New York) and Lotus International (Milan). Among the members of its heterogeneous Editorial Board, Federico Correa (Barcelona, 1924) – in addition to his well-known Italian connections; explained since his very first contact with Gardella, Rogers, Albini, amongst others, within the Venice CIAM summer course in 1952; giving purpose to an influential genealogy for Catalan contemporary architecture that starts off in José Antonio Coderch (1913-1984) – was notable for its purpose in disseminating not only postwar 1960´s counterculture Central European architecture in Spain, but the Viennese turn-of-the-century avant-garde; promoting their exploited by the media theoretical ties. Furthermore, Vienna and its ‘middle-term’ architectures were for Correa unavoidable references for his own professional work, developed together with Alfonso Milà (1924-2009). All these facts brings us to understand how much that generation (educated in the Spanish and European post-war years) understood, dealing with the historiography of modern architecture, that architects had to stop not only in certain ‘middle-terms’ – as stated by Peter Collins, amongst other historians – but also aim to seek for continuities in order to explain the disjointed contemporaneity.

description: Family-Vicsek scaling is one of the most essential scale-invariant laws emerging in surface-roughness growth of classical systems. In this Letter, we theoretically elucidate the emergence of the Family-Vicsek scaling even in a strongly interacting quantum bosonic system by introducing a surface-height operator. This operator is comprised of a summation of local particle-number operators at a simultaneous time, and thus the observation of the surface roughness in the quantum many-body system and its scaling behavior are accessible to current experiments of ultracold atoms.

description: The Holtsmark distribution has applications in plasma physics, for the electric-microfield distribution involved in spectral line shapes for instance, as well as in astrophysics for the distribution of gravitating bodies. It is one of the few examples of a stable distribution for which a closed-form expression of the probability density function is known. However, the latter is not expressible in terms of elementary functions. In the present work, we mention that the Holtsmark probability density function can be expressed in terms of hypergeometric function $_2F_2$ and of Airy function of the second kind $\mathrm{Bi}$ and its derivative. The new formula is simpler than the one proposed by Lee involving $_2F_3$ and $_3F_4$ hypergeometric functions.

description: Senna is an important medicinal plant and is used in many Ayurvedic formulations. Dianthraquinone glucosides are the main bioactive phytochemicals present in leaves and pods of senna. The extraction efficiency in terms of yield and composition of the extract of senna prepared using both conventional (cold percolation at room temperature and refluxing) and non conventional (ultrasound and microwave assisted solvent extraction as well as supercritical fluid extraction) techniques were compared in the present study. Also a rapid reverse phase HPLC-PDA detection method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of sennoside A and sennoside B in the different extracts of senna leaves. Ultrasound and microwave assisted solvent extraction techniques were more effective in terms of yield and composition of the extracts compared to cold percolation at room temperature and refluxing methods of extraction.

description: We discuss various limits of a simple random exchange model that can be used for the distribution of wealth. We start from a discrete state space - discrete time version of this model and, under suitable scaling, we show its functional convergence to a continuous space - discrete time model. Then, we show a thermodynamic limit of the empirical distribution to the solution of a kinetic equation of Boltzmann type. We solve this equation and we show that the solutions coincide with the appropriate limits of the invariant measure for the Markov chain. In this way we complete Boltzmann's program of deriving kinetic equations from random dynamics for this simple model. Three families of invariant measures for the mean field limit are discovered and we show that only two of those families can be obtained as limits of the discrete system and the third is extraneous. Finally, we cast our results in the framework of integer partitions and strengthen some results already available in the literature.

description: We empirically illustrate how concepts and methods involved in a grade of membership (GoM) analysis can be used to sort individuals by competence. Our study relies on a data set compiled from the international survey on higher education graduates called REFLEX. We focus on the subset of data related to the perception of own competencies. It is first decomposed into fuzzy clusters that form a hierarchical fuzzy partition. Then, we calculate a scalar measure of competencies for each fuzzy cluster, and subsequently use the individual GoM scores to combine cluster-based competencies to position individuals on a scale from 0 to 1.

description: Acknowledging the long history of mutual interference between Architecture and Photography, their complex and ubiquitous relationship, and understanding Photography as a relevant artistic and critical research tool, Inaki Bergera ́s work offers new light over these matters. Photography and Modern Architecture in Spain fosters a renewed under- standing of Spanish architecture from the modern period, compiling and structuring all the information that was somehow scattered or lost, speaking about the photographers that were creating images of those modern buildings and the architects to which they were associated with. New American Topographics is an astonishing photography book reinterpreting the visual discourse of the New Topographic aesthetics and bringing them to contemporary time.

description: We study a natural generalization of the classical $ε$-net problem (Haussler--Welzl 1987), which we call the "$ε$-$t$-net problem": Given a hypergraph on $n$ vertices and parameters $t$ and $ε\geq \frac t n$, find a minimum-sized family $S$ of $t$-element subsets of vertices such that each hyperedge of size at least $εn$ contains a set in $S$. When $t=1$, this corresponds to the $ε$-net problem.
 We prove that any sufficiently large hypergraph with VC-dimension $d$ admits an $ε$-$t$-net of size $O(\frac{ (1+\log t)d}ε \log \frac{1}ε)$. For some families of geometrically-defined hypergraphs (such as the dual hypergraph of regions with linear union complexity), we prove the existence of $O(\frac{1}ε)$-sized $ε$-$t$-nets.
 We also present an explicit construction of $ε$-$t$-nets (including $ε$-nets) for hypergraphs with bounded VC-dimension. In comparison to previous constructions for the special case of $ε$-nets (i.e., for $t=1$), it does not rely on advanced derandomization techniques. To this end we introduce a variant of the notion of VC-dimension which is of independent interest.

description: The navigation of micro-robots in complex flow environments is controlled by rheotaxis, the reorientation with respect to flow gradients. Here we demonstrate how payloads can be exploited to enhance the motion against flows. Using fully resolved hydrodynamic simulations, the mechanisms are described that allow micro-robots of different shapes to reorient upstream. We find that cargo pullers are the fastest at most flow strengths, but pushers feature a non-trivial optimum as a function of the counter flow strength. Moreover, the rheotactic performance can be maximised by tuning the micro-robot shape or cargo size. These results may be used to control micro-swimmer navigation, but they also apply to rheotaxis in microbial ecology and the prevention of bacterial contamination dynamics.

description: The danger that buildings and other human constructions pose to people after serious seismic events has been researched for a long time. Vulnerability and risk can now be estimated using well established methods. However, the danger that people face after an earthquake when they are moving to reach a safe spot has not been thoroughly researched. Accordingly, we address evacuation vulnerability in this paper. We chose four parameters of danger - seismic risk of the buildings lining the street, buildings’ heights compared to street width, street slope and street traffic conditions, and we then assigned them to those street segments which might make up post-earthquake, evacuation routes. The results were then plotted using a GIS. In this way, we generated a useful map that clearly highlighted the street segments to be avoided as part of evacuation routes. In addition, we identified several areas with urban characteristics that increase evacuation vulnerability.

description: We are concerned with the absolute continuity of stationary distributions corresponding to some piecewise deterministic Markov process, being typically encountered in biological models. The process under investigation involves a deterministic motion punctuated by random jumps, occurring at the jump times of a Poisson process. The post-jump locations are obtained via random transformations of the pre-jump states. Between the jumps, the motion is governed by continuous semiflows , which are switched directly after the jumps. The main goal of this paper is to provide a set of verifiable conditions implying that any invariant distribution of the process under consideration that corresponds to an ergodic invariant measure of the Markov chain given by its post-jump locations has a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

description: Since the beginning of modernity, and through to today, architecture magazines have been the primary medium for re ection, production and dissemination regarding contemporary architectural culture. As such, studying the periodicals associated with a given historical cycle is essential to understand the scope of the debates taking place in architecture and urban planning during that time. This overview aims to “map” the Spanish architectural and urban planning culture from the postwar years and the period of desarrollismo to the early 1970s, drawing on a selection of some of the main historiographic studies centered on the most relevant architecture periodicals of the period. Because their contents offer an “archive” of modern architecture, architecture magazines have long been genuine platforms for the exhibition and defense of new ideas. And that is not only the case for the ones that have legitimized avant-garde postures; it also includes the ones that opted to defend conservative approaches, and whose pages were home to the formulations of the architectural and/or urban planning proposals required by society at a particular point in time, or the ones that offered dreams of a new utopia.

description: We provide a geometric interpretation of the local contribution of a line to the count of lines on a quintic threefold over a field k of characteristic not equal to 2, that is, we define the type of a line on a quintic threefold and show that it coincides with the local index at the corresponding zero of the section of Sym^5 S^* -> Gr(2, 5) defined by the threefold. Furthermore, we define the dynamic Euler number which allows us to compute the A^1-Euler number as the sum of local contributions of zeros of a section with non-isolated zeros which deform with a general deformation. As an example we provide a quadratic count of 2875 distinguished lines on the Fermat quintic threefold which computes the dynamic Euler number of Sym^5 S^* -> Gr(2, 5). Combining those two results we get that the sum of the types of lines on a general quintic threefold is 1445<1> + 1430<-1> in GW(k) when k is a field of characteristic not equal to 2 or 5.

description: After WWII, magazines turned to fundamental sources for the dissemination of the modern avant-garde project. In this context, the discovery of modern Brazilian architecture through the media by the younger generation of Portuguese architects had enormous consequences for architectural culture. In fact, this modern Brazilian expression became a sign of hope and of future possibilities for the Portuguese architects who used it as a reference to heroically combat the Estado Novo’s regime of censorship. This essay analyses how this information was received and articulated, and how it became an anchor for modern creation in Portugal and its colonies in Angola and Mozambique.

description: Aufgrund neuester Forschungen von Matthias Lassen (Edition Papier.Klänge, Heft 48) konnte die Identifizierung des in der Editionsvorlage nur mit seinem Nachnamen "Rezel" genannten Komponisten zweifelsfrei zu Christian Andreas Rezel (1713-1792) erfolgen. Die vorliegende Arie für Sopran und ein begleitendes Tasteninstrument ist eines von 14 Werken Rezels, die ausschließlich in einer in der Fürst zu Bentheimschen Musikaliensammlung Burgsteinfurt aufbewahrten Sammelhandschrift mit 26 Arien und Duetten aus dem Jahr 1771 enthalten sind. Diese wiederum stammt aus dem Besitz von Prinzessin Juliane Wilhelmine von Schleswig-Holstein-Glücksburg (1754-1823), die 1776 Graf Ludwig Wilhelm Geldricus Ernst zu Bentheim-Steinfurt (1756-1817) heiratete, und kann nach den Erkenntnissen Lassens als Autograph von Christian Andreas Rezel angesehen werden. Der Text für die vorliegende Arie "La pastorella al prato" entstammt dem Dramma giocoso "Il filosofo di campagna" von Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793), dessen Erstvertonung von Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) am 26. Oktober 1754 in Venedig uraufgeführt wurde.

description: Im zeitgenössischen Informationsumfeld spielen Social-Media-Influencer (SMIs), die politische Inhalte produzieren, eine bedeutende pädagogische, kuratorische und mobilisierende Rolle unter dem Publikum. Diese Studie konzentriert sich auf TikTok, eine aufstrebende Plattform mit Potenzial für politische Partizipation. Konkret beabsichtige ich, mittels einer Kombination aus quantitativer Inhaltsanalyse, Netzwerkanalyse und Sentimentanalyse die dominierenden Themen und die Verwendung von Hashtags durch (anti-)feministische Influencer zu untersuchen. Darüber hinaus werden die Stimmungen und Emotionen berücksichtigt, die als Reaktion auf diese Inhalte zum Ausdruck gebracht werden. Die Ergebnisse zeigten eine Vielzahl von 23 Themen, die von drei Arten von Influencern diskutiert wurden: liberalen Feministinnen, radikalen Feministinnen und Anti-Feministinnen. 480 Hashtags wurden innerhalb verschiedener Cluster verwendet, um die in Frage stehenden Videos vermittelten Themen zu untermauern und zu betonen. Darüber hinaus zeigte die Sentimentanalyse eine überwiegend positive Stimmung im Kommentarbereich, obwohl die Verteilung der Emotionen zwischen den Influencern variierte. Die Ergebnisse unterstützen die wachsende politische Rolle von Influencern sowie das emotionale Engagement der Menschen, wenn sie Online-Politikinhalten ausgesetzt sind. Die Studie hat auch Implikationen für die Auswirkungen von TikTok auf die Informationsverbreitung und -verarbeitung.
description: In the contemporary information landscape social media influencers (SMIs) producing political content have a powerful educational, curatorial, and mobilizing role among the audience. This study focuses on TikTok, an emerging platform with potential for political participation. Specifically, through a combination of quantitative content analysis, network analysis, and sentiment analysis, I aim to investigate the dominant topics and use of hashtags by (anti-)feminist influencers. Further, the sentiments and emotions expressed in response to these contents are taken into account. Results showed a variety of 23 topics discussed by three types of influencers: liberal feminists, radical feminists, and anti-feminists. 480 hashtags were used within various cluster to substantiate and emphasize the topics conveyed in the videos in question. Additionally, sentiment analysis showed an overwhelmingly positive sentiment in the comment section, although the distribution of emotions varied across influencers. The findings provide support for the rising political role of influencers as well as people’s emotional engagement when exposed to online political content. The study also has implications for the effects of TikTok in information circulation and processing.

description: Existing wireless communication systems have been mainly designed to provide substantial gain in terms of data rates. However, 5G and Beyond will depart from this scheme, with the objective not only to provide services with higher data rates. One of the main goals is to support massive machine-type communications (mMTC) in the IoT applications. Supporting massive uplink (UP) communications for devices with sporadic traffic pattern and short-packet size, as it is in many mMTC use cases, is a challenging task, particularly when the control signaling is not negligible in size compared to the payload. Also, channel estimation is challenging for sporadic and short-packet transmission due to the limited number of employed pilots. In this paper, a new UP multiple access (MA) scheme is proposed for mMTC, which can support a large number of uncoordinated IoT devices with short-packet and sporadic traffic. The proposed UP MA scheme removes the overheads associated with the device identifier as well as pilots related to channel estimation. An alternative mechanism for device identification is proposed, where a unique spreading code is dedicated to each IoT device. This unique code is simultaneously used for the spreading purpose and device identification. Two IoT device identification algorithms which employ sparse signal reconstruction methods are proposed to determine the active IoT devices prior to data detection. Specifically, the BIC model order selection method is employed to develop an IoT device identification algorithm for unknown and time-varying probability of device activity. Our proposed MA scheme benefits from a non-coherent multiuser detection algorithm based on machine learning to enable data detection without a priori knowledge on channel state information. The effectiveness of the proposed MA scheme for known and unknown probability of activity is supported by simulation results.
High-dimensional modeling of spatial and spatio-temporal conditional extremes using INLA and Gaussian Markov random fields

description: The conditional extremes framework allows for event-based stochastic modeling of dependent extremes, and has recently been extended to spatial and spatio-temporal settings. After standardizing the marginal distributions and applying an appropriate linear normalization, certain non-stationary Gaussian processes can be used as asymptotically-motivated models for the process conditioned on threshold exceedances at a fixed reference location and time. In this work, we adapt existing conditional extremes models to allow for the handling of large spatial datasets. This involves specifying the model for spatial observations at $d$ locations in terms of a latent $m\ll d$ dimensional Gaussian model, whose structure is specified by a Gaussian Markov random field. We perform Bayesian inference for such models for datasets containing thousands of observation locations using the integrated nested Laplace approximation, or INLA. We explain how constraints on the spatial and spatio-temporal Gaussian processes, arising from the conditioning mechanism, can be implemented through the latent variable approach without losing the computationally convenient Markov property. We discuss tools for the comparison of models via their posterior distributions, and illustrate the flexibility of the approach with gridded Red Sea surface temperature data at over $6,000$ observed locations. Posterior sampling is exploited to study the probability distribution of cluster functionals of spatial and spatio-temporal extreme episodes.

The bacterium associated with this disease is Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), and it is transferred to the phloem of citrus trees by its insect vector, the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri).
Since not much is known about the genetics and genomics of the psyllid, a multi- pronged approach was used to analyze the psyllid genome to identify genes that could be involved in pathogen transmission and psyllid survival. The approach will also improve genome assembly and gene identification.

description: In this paper, we study a subclass of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes with a Polish state space, involving deterministic motion punctuated by random jumps that occur at exponentially distributed time intervals. Over each of these intervals, the process follows a flow, selected randomly among a finite set of all possible ones. Our main goal is to provide a set of verifiable conditions guaranteeing the exponential ergodicity for such processes (in terms of the bounded Lipschitz distance), which would refer only to properties of the flows and the transition law of the Markov chain given by the post-jump locations. Moreover, we establish a simple criterion on the exponential ergodicity for a particular instance of these processes, applicable to certain biological models, where the jumps result from the action of an iterated function system with place-dependent probabilities.

description: The evolution of linear initial conditions present in the early universe into extended halos of dark matter at late times can be computed using cosmological simulations. However, a theoretical understanding of this complex process remains elusive; in particular, the role of anisotropic information in the initial conditions in establishing the final mass of dark matter halos remains a long-standing puzzle. Here, we build a deep learning framework to investigate this question. We train a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the mass of dark matter halos from the initial conditions, and quantify in full generality the amounts of information in the isotropic and anisotropic aspects of the initial density field about final halo masses. We find that anisotropies add a small, albeit statistically significant amount of information over that contained within spherical averages of the density field about final halo mass. However, the overall scatter in the final mass predictions does not change qualitatively with this additional information, only decreasing from 0.9 dex to 0.7 dex. Given such a small improvement, our results demonstrate that isotropic aspects of the initial density field essentially saturate the relevant information about final halo mass. Therefore, instead of searching for information directly encoded in initial conditions anisotropies, a more promising route to accurate, fast halo mass predictions is to add approximate dynamical information based e.g. on perturbation theory. More broadly, our results indicate that deep learning frameworks can provide a powerful tool for extracting physical insight into cosmological structure formation.

description: The ability to understand and manipulate numbers and quantities emerges during childhood, but the mechanism through which humans acquire and develop this ability is still poorly understood. We explore this question through a model, assuming that the learner is able to pick up and place small objects from, and to, locations of its choosing, and will spontaneously engage in such undirected manipulation. We further assume that the learner's visual system will monitor the changing arrangements of objects in the scene and will learn to predict the effects of each action by comparing perception with a supervisory signal from the motor system. We model perception using standard deep networks for feature extraction and classification, and gradient descent learning. Our main finding is that, from learning the task of action prediction, an unexpected image representation emerges exhibiting regularities that foreshadow the perception and representation of numbers and quantity. These include distinct categories for zero and the first few natural numbers, a strict ordering of the numbers, and a one-dimensional signal that correlates with numerical quantity. As a result, our model acquires the ability to estimate numerosity, i.e. the number of objects in the scene, as well as subitization, i.e. the ability to recognize at a glance the exact number of objects in small scenes. Remarkably, subitization and numerosity estimation extrapolate to scenes containing many objects, far beyond the three objects used during training. We conclude that important aspects of a facility with numbers and quantities may be learned with supervision from a simple pre-training task. Our observations suggest that cross-modal learning is a powerful learning mechanism that may be harnessed in artificial intelligence.

description: Since the construction of the Crystal Palace by Joseph Paxton in 1851, the manufactured component became the basis for the efficient production of architecture. Making buildings from a kit of parts is a manifestation of a series of interrelated themes in architecture and its writings emerging and evolving from the mid nineteenth to the mid twentieth century: the converging of architecture with mass production, the transference of military expertise to civilian use and a search for new dwelling types for cold war subsistence. These concepts reformed construction and industrialization of construction would parallel the advances made in commodity production. The revolution in manufacturing was accompanied by and magnified social transformations leading to an ever-increasing demand for affordable urban housing. This major growth contributed to one of architectural modernity’s foremost quests: designing the post war house. The modern dwelling echoed new architectural values and was the focal point of architectural literature in periodicals, planning and technical journals. The manufactured architectural kit, a tool for flexibility, adaptability, resilience and mobility, placed synchronized design and production along with affordability as its main selling points and became an emblem of innovative post-war dwelling schemes. Proposed by Walter Gropius in his infamous manifesto (1909) and developed later with Konrad Wachsmann as the packaged house, the kit of parts ideology infiltrated architecture’s production. The manufactured kit symbolized a new era and would bring quality architecture to the masses. Along with a look back at its evolution, three significant productions showcase the kit as both medium and message for developing a Post-War dwelling: Arts and Architecture’s Case Study House Program and its influence in California and beyond, Buckminster Fuller’s Standard of Living Package and plastic shell construction for the House of the Future, not only portray the evolution of modernity through post-war American domesticity but also express the underlying theme of how kit architecture would realize the longstanding dream of the factory made house and even make a case for a kit of parts urbanism in the latter half of the twentieth century.

description: The examination of the greatest technopolis in the world is a way of exploring how an architectural as well as cultural, economic, and urban—or better, suburban—phenomenon, linked to a specific framework, has affected an international context. By studying Silicon Valley’s phases of development, from its period of militarization during the Cold War to the era of counterculture and then of cyberculture, we can reread the history of information technology’s centers of production that have contributed to broadcast the Valley’s architectural and political image. Starting from the headquarters of Varian Associates—designed by Erich Mendelsohn and erected in Stanford Industrial Park in 1951 —and moving through the campuses that consolidated the image of creativity for which Silicon Valley became well-known in the Eighties, we will be able to have a retrospective look at the physical as well as virtual organization of the first IT corporations which supported the rising of the most powerful medium, the internet. This paper’s origin point is the examination of three texts written by the historian Reyner Banham between 1980 and 1987, and in particular the essay “La fine della Silicon Valley” [The end of Silicon Valley], published only in Italian in Casabella. References to facts, considerations, and events, taken from Banham’s texts, pepper this study like a parallel story that problematizes this area, highlighting both its technological heroism and its approaching demise.
