Beschreibung
Ageing infrastructure is affecting dwellings worldwide and important lessons can be learned about the emergence of solidarity where the state has retreated from caring for its citizens and where other entities have become involved, from self-organised block communities and housing associations to environmentalists and housing activists.
An Anthropology of Architectural Transformation is an ethnographic investigation of everyday life in a Romanian apartment block, from its construction in 1974 to the present day. It provides a unique window into how inhabitants, through everyday creative engagements with their apartments, come to terms with the uncertainties of a rapidly changing society, caught in between the vulnerabilities of both socialism and capitalism. The book attends to the micro, day-to-day transformations of individual apartments and the way in which they cumulatively affect ‘larger’ urban changes in Piatra-Neamț, transforming both the urban fabric and the local sense of what defines a good life. It provides social scientists with a novel way of thinking about the fundamental relationship between people and buildings, while inviting architects to consider how buildings are transformed in time by their inhabitants. With minute ethnographic detail, Maria Salaru demonstrates how social order is created and maintained through the materiality of the building.
