Modernist Estates Europe features Bloco das Águas Livres in Lisbon, Portugal – designed by Nuno Teotónio Pereira and Bartolomeu Costa Cabral

Modernist Estates Europe builds a humanist portrait of life at 15 residential housing estates across the continent. Author Stefi Orazi, a graphic designer by trade, compiles short architectural histories of the estates alongside photography and intereviews with residents.

现代派的欧洲国家在整个欧洲大陆的15个住宅小区建立了一幅人文主义的生活写照。作家斯特菲·奥拉齐(Stefi Orazi)是一位专业的平面设计师，他在拍摄和采访居民的同时，还汇编了这些庄园的简短建筑历史。

The project began when Orazi was looking for a place to live in London. She started a blog of photographs and information on London housing estates, and soon discovered a passion that many others shared. In 2015, she published Modernist Estates, a book that brought her blog into print. In 2016, with the Brexit referendum looming, Orazi decided to look slightly further afield, wondering how people outside London perceived modern estates.

这个项目是在奥拉齐在伦敦寻找住处的时候开始的。她开了一个关于伦敦屋的照片和信息的博客，很快就发现了许多人分享的激情。2015年，她出版了现代主义遗产，这本书把她的博客付印了出来。2016年，随着英国退欧公投的临近，奥拉齐决定将目光投向更远的地方，不知道伦敦以外的人是如何看待现代庄园的。

‘While Britain spent the next two years wrangling on how to withdraw itself from the EU, I spent it feeling grateful that I could travel from one country to the next, reflecting on how that freedom also allowed many of the architects featured in this book to share ideas across country borders,’ she writes of the period of time during which she was conducting her research for the book.

她写道：“在接下来的两年里，英国一直在争论如何退出欧盟(EU)，但我很感激能从一个国家到另一个国家旅行，思考这种自由是如何让这本书中的许多建筑师能够跨越国界分享想法的。”她在书中描述了她为这本书进行研究的那段时间。

Each project is located in ‘Europe’ culturally, with Switzerland being a political and economic exception. The projects span almost a century with the earliest estate Bellevue by Arne Jacobsen built in the 1930s, and the latest Neave Brown estate in Eindhoven, the Medina, completing in 2007. While each is ‘modernist’ in its functionality and philosophy, each offers a profoundly new approach to living and each have their own priorities. Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse, built in 1952 provided a template for modernity, starting a conversations across architectural circles, yet each estate appears to lift ideas and design elements in new ways.

每个项目都位于“欧洲”文化，瑞士是一个政治和经济例外。这些项目跨越了近一个世纪，最早由ArneJacobsen于20世纪30年代建造的房地产Bellevue，以及麦地那Eindhoven最新的Neave Brown庄园，于2007年完工。虽然每个人在功能和哲学上都是“现代主义者”，但每个人都提供了一种全新的生活方式，每个人都有自己的优先事项。建于1952年的勒·柯布西耶(Le Corbuser)的“辐射之城”(CitéRadieuse)为现代性提供了一个模板，开启了建筑界的对话，但每一个地产似乎都以新的方式提升

Plans and developments of the estates connect in different ways. Some are low rise sprawls, others high rise mountains. In Sweden, the free-standing ‘point block’ development became popular, meanwhile in Marseilles the Cité Radieuse set the standards for the all-enveloping block style. In Germany, the Deutscher Werkbund were ‘typically white sugar cube like houses with flat roofs that became synonymous with the modern movement,’ writes Orazi.

屋苑的规划和发展是以不同的方式连接起来的。有些是低矮的，有些是高山。在瑞典，独立的“点块”的开发变得流行起来，而在马赛，Radieuse为全封闭的街区风格设定了标准。Orazi写道，在德国，德国的Werkbund是“典型的白糖立方体，像平顶的房子，成为现代运动的代名词”。

While many estates share common ground. Most of the estates Orazi has chosen are positioned just outside cities, where there was space to build bigger developments with grand ambitions. This allowed them to have a strong connection to nature through location or design. The Siedlung Halen in Bern looks like it has been dropped into a forest; the Danviksklippan in Stockholm is positioned on a rocky plot by the coast; while the Ivry-sur-Seine in Paris’ suburbs, designed by architect Jean Renaudie, is layered with overflowing terraces of triangular gardens; and Walden 7 in Barcelona is surrounded by gardens of eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses.

虽然许多地产都有共同之处。奥拉齐选择的大部分地产都位于城市之外，那里有空间，可以用宏大的雄心建造更大的开发项目。这使他们能够通过地理位置或设计与自然有很强的联系。伯尔尼的西德隆海伦河看起来像是被扔进了一片森林里；斯德哥尔摩的丹维茨利蓬位于海岸边的一块岩石地上；而巴黎郊区的科特迪瓦南部塞纳河，由建筑师让·雷纳迪耶(Jean RENAUDIE)设计，层层覆盖着满是三角形花园的梯田；巴塞罗那的瓦尔登7号(Walden 7)则被桉树、棕榈树、橄榄树和柏树的花园包围。

Meeting the residents was the best way for Orazi to gain an insight into daily life at her estate case studies. Modernist Estates is subtitled ‘the buildings and the people who live in them today’, because the book is very much about the people who live there. Orazi was welcomed into living rooms with comfy looking sofas, bedrooms with colourful curtains, kitchens with collections of utensils and pot plants, as people told their stories of life on a modernist estate.

在她的房地产案例研究中，与居民见面是奥拉兹了解日常生活的最佳途径。现代主义住宅的副标题是“今天的建筑物和居住在其中的人”，因为这本书很大程度上是关于住在那里的人的。奥拉齐受到欢迎进入客厅，舒适的外观沙发，卧室用彩色窗帘，厨房收集的器具和盆栽植物，因为人们讲述他们的生活故事在一个现代主义的产业。

For many people, living on their modernist estate is hereditary – a credit to the architecture and lifestyle. Mads Hage Thomsen grew up at Copenhagen’s Bellevue designed by Arne Jacobsen in the 1970s and now lives there with his own family. Karin Büchler’s parents bought her home in 1969, and she and her family moved back in 2013. Meanwhile the Monte Amiata in Milan has inspired resident Serene Cazzulani’s 12-year-old son to want to become an architect.

对许多人来说，住在他们的现代主义遗产上是世袭的-这是建筑和生活方式的功劳。麦德斯·海格·汤姆森(Mads Hage Thomsen)在哥本哈根贝尔维尤长大，上世纪70年代由阿恩·雅各布森(Arne Jacobsen)设计，现在Karin Büchler的父母在1969年买下了她的房子，她和她的家人在2013年搬了回来。与此同时，米兰的蒙特阿米塔鼓舞了居民塞琳·卡祖拉尼12岁的儿子想成为一名建筑师。

Many of the estates were built to encourage community living, yet Orazi’s reports show that the facilities are often left redundant – the theatre at the Monte Amiata lies empty and the shops at Danviksklippan have closed down due to improved transport links and delivery services. ‘The newer generation don’t really get the original utopian concept’, says Elisabeth Huttier, resident at Ivry-sur-Seine, where she has lived for 46 years and seen dramatic changes in community life.

许多庄园是为了鼓励社区生活而建造的，但Orazi的报告显示，这些设施往往是多余的-蒙特阿米亚塔的剧院空无一人，丹维茨利潘的商店由于交通联系和运输服务的改善而关闭。居住在塞纳河南部艾弗里的伊丽莎白·哈蒂埃(ElisabethHuttier)说，新一代并没有真正理解最初的乌托邦概念。她在那里生活了46年，在社区生活中看到了戏剧性的变化。

On the other hand, there are still many signs that the 21st-century communities are very much alive. In Marseille at the Cité Radieuse, resident Artemis Kosta enjoys the relationships she has with other parents: ‘It’s like a village here’, she says. There’s a school on the 8th floor, and all the neighbours with young children help each other out by picking up the kids after school and dropping them home. Karin Buchler, another mother, resident at Siedlung Halen has a similar experience: ‘Everybody’s door is open here, kids go from house to house – they are living with pretty much ten different families,’ she says.

另一方面，仍然有许多迹象表明21世纪的社区非常活跃。在马赛，当地居民阿特米斯·科斯塔(Artemis Kosta)喜欢与其他父母的关系。她说：“这里就像一个村庄。”在8楼有一所学校，所有小孩的邻居都互相帮助，放学后接孩子回家。另一位母亲卡琳·布奇勒(KarinBuchler)也有类似的经历：“这里每个人的门都是敞开的，孩子们挨家挨户-他们住在差不多十个不同的家庭，”她说。

Whilst many residents seem to adore living in these places, they also have their gripes. At Walden 7, the light is poor due to small windows. At Siedlung Halen the roof replacement project was put on hold because not everyone has the money to contribute, and the electrical and heating systems are becoming old. Fredrik Jansson, Danvikslippan resident, describes an unfortunate balcony replacement involving a jackhammer: ‘It needs repairing all the time!’

虽然许多居民似乎喜欢住在这些地方，但他们也有他们的抱怨。在瓦尔登7，由于小窗口，光线较差。在SiedlungHalen，屋顶更换项目被搁置，因为不是每个人都有贡献的资金，电和暖气系统已经变老了。丹麦丹麦Vikslian居民FredrikJansson描述了一个不幸的阳台更换，涉及一个顶锤：“它需要所有的时间！”

Many of the estates are protected, listed or even UNESCO historic monument in the case of the Cité Radieuse and many people pride themselves in returning their homes to original standards. Jose Pedro Croft, resident at Bloco das Aguas Livres, Lisbon, worked with the original architects to restore his apartment back to the original conditions after a period of questionable taste during previous ownership. Yet other residents don’t share this passion. ‘We shouldn’t treat homes as if they are museums,’ says Barbara Göttlinger at the Werkbund-siedlung Austria, whose home was originally preserved to be a museum open to the public until the plan changed and it was designated for living. ‘We can’t even change the colours of the walls of the doors’, she says.

许多庄园受到保护，列入名单，甚至教科文组织的历史纪念碑，例如露营地，许多人为自己的家园恢复到原来的标准而感到自豪。居住在里斯本Bloco das Aguas Livres的何塞·佩德罗·克罗夫特(Jose Pedro Croft)与最初的建筑师合作，将他的公寓恢复到原来的状态，之前的所有权经历了一段令人怀疑的味道。然而，其他居民却没有这种热情。“我们不应该像对待博物馆一样对待家庭，”奥地利维尔坎德-西耶德隆的芭芭拉·戈特林格(Barbara G Ttlinger)说，他的家最初被保留为一个向公众开放的博物馆，直到计划改变，并被指定用于生活。她说：“我们甚至不能改变门的颜色。”

Mostly, Orazi seems to have discovered a culture of people who take pride in living to the ideals of modernism and celebrating the 20th-century architectural history. These estates are a bit like people as well – a friend who has equal parts flaws and unique personality traits that you couldn’t live without. Younes Karroum, Walden 7 resident, sees a link between the residents and the architecture: ‘There’s a strong link between the buildings and the living experience – it’s full of crazy people!’ §

大多数情况下，奥拉子似乎发现了一种以生活在现代主义的理想和庆祝20世纪建筑史而自豪的人的文化。这些财产也有点像人-一个拥有相同部分、缺点和独特人格特征的朋友，没有这些特质，你就无法生活。Walden 7的居民尤尼斯·卡鲁姆(Younes Karroum)看到了居民和建筑之间的联系：“建筑和生活体验之间有很强的联系-里面充满了疯狂的人！”
