DOORN THE MANIFESTO
Team 10
Doorn Manifesto was written in 1954 in the context of the first family reunion of Team 10 . It was attended by all the founders and the architect Sandy Van Ginkel. Therefore, corresponds to one of the earliest writings of the newly created Team 10.
Because even if a manifest is deployed as the writings of the masters program. But this attitude will be abandoned immediately and doctrinal minutes of meetings of Team 10 will go becoming collections of countless fragments and articles.
The commentary made by Smithson already announced they will develop ideas in his book Urban
Structuring (1967): the consideration of each "community" in your particular environment, the emphasis on mobility and exchange within the structure of neighborhoods, etc ...
Team 10, consisting of Jacob B. Bakema, George Candilis, Aldo Van Eyck, Alison and Peter Smithson, Gutman, John Voelker, William Howell and Woods Shandrach was created in 1954 in the CIAM at Aix-en-Provence. The
Doorn Manifesto was written in Holland 1954, and this anthology also includes the comment that Alison Smithson said in his article published in Architectural Design July 1956 entitled "Alternatives to the Garden City idea." Both were published consecutively in the Team 10 Primer, published in 1968 in Studio Vista (GB) and in 1974 in MIT Press (USA). MANIFESTO
1. It only makes sense to consider the house as part of a community, a result of the interaction between them.
2. We should not waste time on cataloging the items in the house until it has crystallized the other relation.
3. The 'habitat' home addresses particular type of community in particular.
4. Communities are the same everywhere.
1) isolated farm house
2) Village.
3) Small cities of various types (industrial / administrative / special).
4) Major Cities (MFPs).
5. These types can be seen in relation to their environment (habitat) in the Valley section of Geddes.
6. Every community has to be internally has to be comfortable, ease of movement, " consequently, whatever the type of transport concerned, its density must grow with the population: for example: 1) have the lowest density, 4) the largest.
7. We must consider therefore what homes and groups are needed to generate comfortable communities in various parts of the section of the valley.
8. The adequacy of any solution has to be given in the field of architectural design rather than in social anthropology.

REVIEWS AP SMITHSON
It had become obvious that the construction of cities fell outside the scope of purely analytic thinking that the problem of human relations could not be caught in the web of the "four functions." Doorn Manifesto, in an attempt to remedy this situation, proposes: "To understand the patterns of human associations in each community must consider in your particular environment."
What exactly are the principles from which it has to form a city? The early formation of a community can be deduced from the ecology of the situation, a study of the human, natural and constructed and their mutual action. If
the validity of the form of a community based on the patterns of life, the first principle should be consistently objective and ongoing analysis of the human structure and its changes.
Such analysis would include not just "what happens", "body habits, lifestyles and relationships around him, for example, living in certain places, going to school, seek means of locomotion the workplace and shopping, but also "what motivates" the reasons for going to certain schools, so choose the type of work and go to a specific store. "
In other words, attempts to discover patterns of reality that include human aspirations.
social structure to which the developer has to shape not only different but much more complex than it was before.
The various public services to the family are increasingly independent of actual physical contact with the rest of the community and are increasingly turning to itself.
These factors have to do, apparently, incomprehensible acceptance sustained forms of housing and access systems which differ little from those who fulfilled the dream of social reformers before the First World War.
This is especially well, considering the increasing use of the car. We assume that we are approaching the standards of American mobility. A sidewalk of an urban plaza exposed and poorly defined is a poor link between a hot car and a house with heating. In the design of buildings and urban plants in tropical areas is considered an accepted method to base the general principles of planning in the consideration of ways to mitigate the ill effects of weather and take advantage of its beneficial effects. England's climate is rainy and cold for about eight months a year. This would seem to require homes to provide and moreover, they appear to provide comprehensive protection. Double walls, double roof, double glazing, covered walkways, covered patios and dry and preferably covered entries.
The English climate is not characterized by its intensity but because of its instability. The house, therefore, should be able to catch everything I can get good weather, in every room collecting solar heat through south facing windows, and providing easy access to sheltered patios, terraced gardens and terraces that can accommodated without loss of time to appropriate the charms of our climate and then closed in an instant to ignore it.
This attitude towards the protection and change should guide the way around the distribution plan.
whole new situation exists in the context of other ancient and should give a value to the ways of the old communities, modifying.
The idea of \u200b\u200ban autonomous community is so balanced and theoretically untenable and costly from a practical standpoint. The rejection of such a conception requires a complete change of attitude. The planner is no longer the social reformer but a technical field of the form that you can not continue to have community centers, laundries Community, community halls, etc., to disguise the fact that a settlement as a whole is incomprehensible. Undoubtedly, in the planning of a new situation should be calculated from the beginning the size of the new community in terms of population, as we do here, in order to make possible the choice of suitable sites and planning, road links , sanitation, electricity, etc .- with existing systems.
However, the draft municipal planning can not create the form of a new community. This form is generated, in part as a response to the existing and in part as a response to the Zeitgeist, not subject to planning. Any additions to a community, any change of circumstances, generate a new record.
One facet of this response is the scale-the way its configuration is organized in the new part to make sense of the whole. Similarly
that all changed with the addition of new parts, so the scale of the parties must change in order that they and the whole dynamic response remain a mutual.
The scale has something to do with size, but the effect of size.
