Geteilte Räume im Wandel – am Beispiel von Begegnungs- und Spielorten in Großwohnsiedlungen

From the 1950s to the 1970s, a new type of building and living found its way into European cities and suburbs in the form of large housing estates. Due to the housing shortage at the time, dense, high-rise buildings were often erected in a very short time, which were intended to become homes for broad sections of the population. For living in and together in the then still unfamiliar form of housing, the facilities of the settlements, built for collective use, played a central role. As part of the PuSH research project, a team at the ETH Wohnforum investigated such shared, public spaces in large Swiss housing estates. Using the example of the renewal processes of playgrounds, this paper explores changes and continuities from the planning concepts until today.
