Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of the United States Housing Corporation, Vol. 2: Houses, Site-Planning, Utilities The accompanying volume endeavors to set forth in as small space as practicable those activities and accomplishments of the Housing Corporation which were most directly concerned with the design of its various housing projects. The general procedure of the corporation is discussed merely in those aspects which more directly affected project design, and therefore, while the activities of the Architectural, Town Planning and Engineering Divisions are fully covered herein, mention is made of certain aspects only of the work of the Real Estate Division, the Transportation Division, the Homes Registration Division, and the Construction Division, and only occasional reference is made to the other divisions of the corporation, all of which are to be considered in detail in volume I of the corporations report. The main body of the present volume consists essentially of three parts: (1) A short general statement of how the Housing Corporation proceeded to ascertain what the situation was in the community to be aided, and how it determined what its appropriate action for relief should be in each case; (2) a necessarily incomplete statement of some of the general principles governing this kind of design which the design divisions considered in their procedure, or which they learned from their experience; and (3) a short and compact record, in plans, perspectives, tables, and text, of what the problem was which the corporation actually found in each of its important projects, and what attempt was made to solve it, as a matter of complete and reasoned design. This volume shows by plans and other drawings as much as was possible in the allotted space about the more important projects; it states in tabular form, for compactness and ease of comparison, all the information as to the projects which it was practicable to represent by figures; and it sets down, in the text describing each project, only those facts which were of particular interest or which had a special and important influence upon the design. The appendix contains reprints of most of the directions which were issued by the corporation as guides in design and construction, and the form of contract entered into by the general contractor. A bibliography is included covering the most important articles on industrial housing published during the war to April, 1919, compiled by the consulting librarian primarily from the references collected for current use in the work of the corporation.
