<h1>Dormitory Building</h1>
|
||
|
<p style="margin-top:60px;">Housing provided by institution to employees. Before 1994, it was common for employees to be assigned housing units.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Between 1996 and 1999, within the compound my family moved several times from one unit to another. The units are labeled in series of A1 to A8. We lived A1, A3, and A7. In 1999 my parents bought one unit in A2 during the transition policy</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The policy was issued in 1994 for period of 5 years. After 2000, employees were responsible to buy their own homes at market cost. Institutions start to limit supply of housing space, for example using housing spaces for other purposes. The school my parents worked at expanded enrollment, former employee housing spaces were adapted to student dormitories.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>I asked my father to whom the apartment was later sold to, he said it was sold to a couple also working at the school, which made them my parents' former colleagues. We could interprete the timeline this way - after 2000, employee are no longer entitled for provisioned housing. The couple had spent a sum nearly 4 times as much as my parents did when the policy was still effective.</p>

<h1>Khrushchev and the International Style</h1>
|
||
|
<p>If you come across compounds that were built sometime after the new republic, the building were often in formats of "row buildings". The row building embodies a different lineage than the row houses, its capitalistic counterpart. They are remanents that shows influences from former Soviet regime.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The layout of the row house is simple. Imagine a long rectangle, identical units line one by one, except that two ends are used for shared stairs and toilets. In the 60s, families reside in these housing units that occupied 15 squaremeters. Makeshift kitchens were set up outside the unit, in the shared, narrow corridor. This type of housing is also called Khrushchev building. While led the Soviet Union as first secretary of the party, he aimed to provide sufficient housing for the people. To achieve this goal in a short time and low budget, the designer seeked for modular design as a resort.</p>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>The ideology behind Khrushchev building was descendant of the International Style, which hoped that machinic extension such as concret and modularity will provide universal benefit.</p>
