Architecture of Workplaces 1. Lecture 3 History of Industrial Architecture 3. 1945-2010 Industrial Architecture in Hungary IPARTERV =History of the Company for Industrial Building Design 1948-1990 Dobai János DLA associate professor Bartók István DLA associate professor

Events, processes: The years after World War II. Restoration, necessity Cold war: East-West, the end of colonies, political movements Realingment of population (age tree) Effects of war bulk manufacture War factories, overflow of capacity, labour force? Light structures, new materials Development of consumer societies Growing needs, growing needs for building Development Thrift with materials, new materials: pre-stressed reinforced concrete, laminated timber, resin glues and synthetic materials Structural innovations: space trusses, shell structures, cable structures Efficiency: (spare on labour force, construction time) Prefabrication of reinforced concrete becomes general Flexibility: ability of rearrangement, building services equivalence Prestige architecture Experimentation with new materials The end of heroism of industrial architecture
