In the Netherlands, where housing is a right, cities include a unique architectural form - complex housing. These structures were developed in response to concerns for density, ecology, mixed incomes, mixed housing types, and the urban context. Dutch Complex Housing, curated by University of Minnesota Professor Julia Robinson (American Institute of Architecture Fellow), explores this special form of multi-family dwelling. Can this innovative housing be replicated elsewhere?
本次展览是美国明尼苏达大学戈登斯坦设计博物馆根据Julia Robinson教授于2017年出版的同名著作《Complex Housing: Designing for Density 》 (2017, Routledge Press)中的内容制作而成。展览揭示了影响荷兰在住宅问题上的选择的一些重要因素，例如对荷兰这片低于海平面的土地上的规划思考、对于居住作为一种公民权利的承诺，基于荷兰人口密度而对集合住宅的采纳。展览分四个部分：
Developed by the University of Minnesota’s Goldstein Museum of Design, Dutch Complex Housing is based on Robinson’s book Complex Housing: Designing for Density (2017, Routledge Press). The exhibition explores factors that led to the Dutch approach to housing such as the need for thoughtful planning on land below sea level, a commitment to housing as a right of citizenship, and the acceptance of multi-family housing due to the population density of the Netherlands. Dutch Complex Housing presents this content in four parts:
1 An introduction to housing in the Netherlands
2 An introduction to typological methodology used to study housing
3 The eight case studies
4 Principles that generate this type of housing.
The conclusion presents design principles embodied in this housing form and the implications for replicating it elsewhere.
