Tour enfoui Melbourne. Rue façade Toulouse. Réhabilitation maison Toulouse. Scoop.it - Waterfox. Urbanisme & Aménagement urbain. La Rehabilitation Urbaine. Le titre de ce dossier est à la mesure du défi qu’a constitué sa réalisation.
Il ne s’agit pas, en effet, en abordant le thème de la « réhabilitation », de réduire l’approche bibliographique à la seule question de l’amélioration de l’habitat. Beaucoup plus largement, la ville et ses transformations sont en jeu dans ce dossier. En cinquante ans d’histoire, la réhabilitation des quartiers existants est en effet devenue, en France comme dans d’autres pays, un élément fondamental des politiques urbaines, en même temps qu’un champ notable d’innovation institutionnelle.
Dès lors, on ne peut éviter de soulever les nombreux enjeux que recouvre ce thème.

Architects Turn Disused Parking Garages Into Pop-Up Homes - The Pop-Up City - Waterfox. Hackney-based architecture studio Levitt Bernstein has won a housing competition with a proposal to turn disused parking garages in London into flexible homes.
The competition, organized by the Building Trust, asked architects and (urban) designers to come up with ideas to tackle the shortages of affordable single-occupancy housing. Levitt Bernstein’s idea suggests instant transformation of empty parking garages in Hackney into houses for homeless people by insertion of pre-fab structures. The structures allow for easy assembling and can be inhabited immediately. “Previously inactive street fronts have the potential to be brought to life and valuable redundant spaces can be transformed. With careful planning these simple housing solutions provide the opportunity to deliver unique housing solutions to our densely populated city.” The architects estimate the costs per housing united to be some £13,000.
