At the 1956 CIAM meeting in Dubrovnik the topic of the “habitat” dominated the agenda: although the term had already been introduced earlier to the congress’s circles it had since been fiercely debated as it entailed a fundamentally different look at architecture and urban planning, away from isolated buildings and plannings towards a more integrated and holistic approach. In line with its origins in biology and anthropology the term stands for an ecological approach towards architecture that goes beyond the border of the discipline and looks at it as part of a dynamic whole of cohabitation. This approach at the same time represented a disengagement with earlier functionalist convictions as laid down in the Athens Charter.

With the book “Habitat. Ecology Thinking in Architecture”, edited by among others Dirk van den Heuvel and published by nai010 publishers in 2020, this turn in the history of the CIAM and proto-ecological thinking in architecture has for the first time been comprehensively researched. The focus is on the presentations held during the congress, the non-published „Charta of Habitat“ and the projects it consecutively influenced. Among these are Cedric Price’s Northern Aviary at the London Zoo, the Tanthof Estate in Delft by Van den Broek & Bakema or the Patchwork Metropolis developed by Willem Jan Neutelings, three examples of how architects engaged with the multilayered nature of habitat. On the basis of the extensive archival material residing at Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam each project is elucidated and therefore the historical origins of ecological thinking in architecture. This strictly historical perspective leaves quite some space for musings about potential transfers and inspirations for the present. A great read!

Corey/Liam

This is one that I haven’t given much thought of, but now that I’m thinking about it. I can see it working. They have a sort of frenemies to friends development in the show already (I can even say enemies cause of season five tbh) and that developing into a romance can be a fun dynamic. Liam has a bit of a asshole-ish vibe and a bit of a love-ish side to him as well, and Corey’s just overall nice and caring. I can see it happening, kinda cute tbh (and the sex? Like Corey’s half ghost rider, boy can handle rough)
