Werner Seligmann nel 1971 progettò 235 unità di alloggi a medio-reddito a Ithaca, New York, in un’area di circa sette ettari con una densità immobiliare di 34 appartamenti per ettaro. Essi furono costruiti per il New York Urban Development Corporation nell’ambito del programma della Federal Housing Authority, che durante quegli anni concedeva un sussidio federale per ridurre i tassi di interesse all’uno per cento, ciò consentiva alle persone con reddito limitato di avere in affitto nuove abitazioni che non avrebbero potuto permettersi sul libero mercato. L’intervento di Elm Street Housing trovava indietro nel tempo riferimenti abbastanza chiari, documentati dalla rivista Oppositions, tutti testimoni di una discendenza dai progetti di Le Corbusier per la Sainte Baume e per Roq et Rob a Cap Martin, attraverso la mediazione della famosa Siedlung Halen dell’Atelier 5, costruita nel 1962 nei pressi di Berna, cui seguirà l’esperienza del 1966 per la Portsdown Housing Competition di Brawne, Gold e Jones.

Abstract
In 1971, Werner Seligmann designed 235 medium-yield housing units in Ithaca, New York, in an area of approximately seven hectares with a property density of 34 apartments per hectare. They were built for the New York Urban Development Corporation as part of the Federal Housing Authority's program, which during those years granted a federal subsidy to reduce interest rates to one percent, allowing people with limited income to rent new homes that they could not afford on the open market. Elm Street Housing's intervention found fairly clear references back in time, documented by the magazine Oppositions, all witnessing a descent from Le Corbusier's projects for Sainte Baume and Roq et Rob at Cap Martin, through the mediation of the famous Siedlung Halen of Atelier 5, built in 1962 near Bern, followed by the 1966 experience for the Portsdown Housing Competition of Brawne, Gold and Jones.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
