Introduction
The Hotel as a Model of Urbanization
When we talk today about our cities, particularly our urban environment, we use statistics on how humans behave within our built environment. We explain the tendency of our living by graphs to give measurements of our intentions, or we show some diagrams to prove how our urban behaviors relate. While we might have given quantitative data to every behavior, we don9t research the formal understanding of our human environment. While cities are built of buildings, streets, parks, and public spaces, we hardly discuss their forms. What we gave up to ask ourselves is the quality of the form we want to live in.
The design research project on the Hotel as a model of urbanization intends to develop expertise in formally understanding our urban environment within metropolitan areas and our countryside. What we investigate is the architectural knowledge of our human environment, which gives form to our quantitative data. The intention is to examine new architectural forms of living environments.
There is no content without a form.
If we look into the history of urban design and planning, especially in Europe of the 19th, the 20th Century, and more recently into the 1st decade of the 21st Century, two essential accepts of urban design and development belonged to each other. One was understanding our spatial behavior through statistics, and the other gave form to it. When our cities grew within the 19th Century, the grid became its urban expansion model, and the urban block gave its architectural form. We can see the variation of such urban blocks throughout all our cities based on the various cultural differences in land ownership and housing typologies. At the beginning of the 20th century, the single-slab building emerged on a free piece of land mainly owned by the city. This architectural type became the model of our urban settlement before and after the 2nd World War. Both urban forms
were highly influenced by city and state governments9 involvement to increase the quality of our living environment.
In late capitalism and definitely, within the last twenty years, urban developments are executed by project next to the project, development next to the development. The question of form became replaced by the problem of what to invest in. Cities have given away the formal control of their cities.
What we witness today is what historically is known as the liberal urbanism of the 19th Century, an urban development without formal consciousness. What we need is research into the forms under which our cities evolve. It is the form in which we live, not its data.
In the recently published statistic on the behavior of the Austrian population within their urban environments by APA/Statistik Austria, a tendency became visualized, which can be found nearly anywhere within the European landscape of historically developed modes of inhabitation. While many cities in Austria grew immensely, from 14.1% in the town of Eisenstadt, 12.9% in Graz to 9.3% in the metropolitan city like Vienna and 8,4% in Innsbruck, the city of the Alps, small size towns or villages within the immediate distance to growing urban areas even exploded in terms of population growth by up to 30%. There is an enormous magnetic tendency that attracts people to move towards large urban metropolitan areas, while at the same time, historically established villages in the countryside empty out. This tendency is similar throughout Europe and even globally, while in Central Europe, within the Alps area, this tendency took on a particular form. The villages decreased by twofold: not only did these villages decrease in size and populations, but at the same time, their population changed from permanent inhabitants, a generation of people that found their economic existences within the imitate context of the village, to temporary inhabitants, like tourist, second home citizens and weekend dwellers which work or study during the week in metropolitan areas and speed their weekend back home. It can be argued that the village is not sustainable anymore, neither socially, economically, or even spatially.
Its form will die.
At the same time, a new architectural form emerged within the tourist areas of the Alps, namely, the high-rise building. The high-rise emerged as a particular form within high-density urban environments like Chicago and New York. The reason for the emergence of high-rise buildings was not only its potential to increase density but also the necessity to profit from the increasing land values within metropolitan areas. Today, any architectural form has lost its context and even emerges within an alpine area, whereby
its real quality can be witnessed, namely the high-rise building as a hotel containing all the city facilities. Therefore, the high-rise can be seen as a form of a town, a building that includes the life of a city.
One of our recent research projects has been the investigation within the last couple of years of the possible merge of the idea of a village and the idea of a hotel as a model of urbanization. The design investigation of this design research mainly developed forms of high-dense living environments based on a one-family house. While villages are constituted by many single-family dwellings spreading along roads, the design challenges were related to how it is possible to keep the individual home alive while reducing their related outdoor spaces and their form of access. Such a design investigation has happened throughout the history of urban design. It has its precursors in Le Corbusier Villa-Immeubles from 1925, many research projects within northern European countries from the 1950s to 1970, and recent design research projects in Asia, especially Japan.
The research aims to understand urban transformations as a problem of forms. The forms investigated are highly dense urban fabrics. These fabrics are intended not only to reintroduce aesthetics into our political considerations when planning our cities but also as the primary architectural forms that can solve sustainability problems. To live socially, economically, and materially sustainable, we must live in dense urban environments. The investigation of such forms is what we, as an institute of design, have developed as our expertise.
