House in the “city-estate”
When thinking about the functional and spatial structure of small towns, we usually have a small town in front of our eyes with a historically shaped market square, surrounded by tenement houses and fine-grained peripheral tissue. There are also small towns, which arose from the 20th century factory workers’ settlements, which in time evolved into a monofunctional urban centre, where the multi-family housing complex functions as a downtown, which builds the specific identity of the place.
The article presents examples of construction and transformation of the urban structure of selected settlement units. The concept of a “house” was identified in two ways: as a building (colloquially called a block of flats) with specific social interactions and use, and as a small town (the title city-estate), which serves as both a neighbourhood unit and an urban organism. When analysing morphological transformations, the author attempts to indicate the features and factors affecting processes that change the anonymous, schematic urban layouts of company estates into a multifunctional “house”, designed in a way that gives the chance of a level of comfort of living typical of traditional city models with historical provenance.
