| Summary: | After the Second World War, the housing production processes went through
industrialisation in order to deal with the quantity crisis. Since then, the housing quality
management has been inspired by the manufacturing industry approaches. Several
approaches have been proposed to ensure this quality through the control of the design
process. These approaches quantify the quality and make it measurable according to
indicators. Consequently, the quality management concerns the building much more, as an
industrial product, rather than an architectural object. This problem affects the housing sector
more than services buildings. In the 1950s, Fernand Pouillon handled this housing crisis with the
construction of housing estates by opting for a quality of the architectural object. This was
through a new interpretation of the architectural composition, which takes into account the
pedestrian viewpoints (viewing angles). It was inspired by the arrangement principle of the
buildings of the Acropolis of Athens. In this paper, the goal is to consider the possibility of a new
focus on the architectural quality of housing estates by the integration of the users' viewing
angles in the architectural composition. It will be through the analysis of the housing estate in
Algeria, "Diar Es Saada" of Pouillon. |
