NEW RESEARCH PROJECT Wohnungsgenossenschaften are German housing coops, a housing model with origins in the late Nineteenth Century. Today there are over 2,000 housing coops today in Germany with 3,000,000 members. This is the largest model of housing coops in democratic societies and offers a third way toward residency between renting on the free market and purchasing a co-op, condominium, or house. Recognized as distinctive legal entities under German law, they are promoted as offering the security of owning an apartment but without the necessary financial investment or risk. Structured as largely self-administered organizations, with a strong emphasis upon collective responsibility, they often also feature a neighborhood-focused business enterprise. They have a documented role in promoting neighborhood formation/revitalization in urban areas, especially regarding stable, inter-generational housing, and increasingly are founded upon a guiding ethos of sustainability, centered about an urban garden or food coop. Wohnungsgenossenschaften differ from the limited American experiments in coop or collective housing because they have no association with an “alternative” lifestyle and therefore are free of any residue of housing “communes” that made a brief appearance in American during the 1970s. By comparison, the German model is urban-based, targeted toward middle and lower-middle class residents of German cities, and often quite large in scale. This research project endeavors to see if an American model can be synthesized from the century-long record of the German model, learning from both the successes and challenges that the German model has had. The overarching mission guiding this research project is the search for an American “third way” regarding housing, and three major factors comprise the raison d’être of the project. (1) The Great Recession exploded the myth of ever-increasing property values, prompting millions of American to reconsider long-term renting as a viable choice. Rapidly increasing rental markets in many cities have increased the sense of tenant vulnerability, and many low-income groups are locked into renting apartments of low standards. (2) Atomization and anonymity in large portions of American society continue to increase, regardless of whether one rents or owns. Housing coops offer a route away from atomization and anonymity on account of the shared responsibilities that are needed to make them successful. (3) The collapse of the so-called “third place” in America has produced a largely dualistic society divided between places of work and dwellings. The venues that are often part of German housing coops augur well for the reemergence of a “third place” in which a cast of regular participants is a defining feature, often serving as a neighborhood anchor for social interaction. Potential obstacles to a workable American version can be grouped into four categories. Legal obstacles would include possible issues regarding required duties/responsibilities of members and possible issues regarding the guiding focus of a coop., e.g., sustainability, being used as an exclusionary policy regarding membership. Societal

Klahr 5

obstacles would include an American emphasis upon individualism versus the collective endeavors that make housing coops successful that are more easily accepted within the more consensus-driven German society. Likewise, an American emphasis upon mobility regarding relocating for employment as compared with German society challenges the long-term stability and security that housing coops offer. Cultural obstacles would include the general American resistance to notions of collective/shared responsibilities on account of their association with socialism and communism, and the strong American desire to own property, although this has decreased somewhat since the Great Recession. Economic obstacles would include municipal, financial and development entities opposed to offering a “third way” between ownership and free-market renting and the challenges that German housing coops have faced competing with free-market rentals. The current state and direction of research: due to the fact that literature about German housing coops is not available in American libraries, a comprehensive collection of books about the topic was assembled during a trip to Germany in 2010 and updated in 2014. Due to another research project (architectural/stereoscopic photography) occupying the past several years, the summer of 2015 will be spent reviewing the material assembled and extracting the major legal, societal, cultural and economic points of Wohnungsgenossenschaften so that these can be presented to potential American co-investigators. The search for colleagues will initially focus upon: (1) A scholar familiar with the legal aspects of housing policy and real estate development. (2) A scholar familiar with the societal and cultural aspects of the Latino community in the DFW/Texas area with the possibility of designing a model targeted toward this community. There are four thoughts driving this initial path of inquiry regarding a model for the Latino community: (1) The extended family situation in Latino communities, with its lineal and collateral members, produces an expansive family dynamic that augurs well regarding the notion of shared responsibilities. (2) The multi-generational nature of extended families is a good fit for housing coops, which often function particularly well as multi-generational communities. (3) Strong ties to a community augur well for establishing housing coops with missions and venues that are neighborhood-oriented, such as food co-ops, urban gardens, etc. (4) CBOs (community-based organizations) and housing coops often form long-lasting alliances, and can have substantial positive impacts upon neighborhoods. (5) Going one step further than the German precedent: an American model might also be able to incorporate HBEs (home-based enterprises) into its structure, providing another neighborhood-oriented economic resource. There are two other potential target demographics, which might necessitate the inclusion of more co-investigators. There are three aspects that might make housing coops attractive to empty-nesters: (1) The aspect of security without the financial burden of property ownership might prove attractive to this demographic segment, aligning with desires to downsize. (2) Housing coops give this segment a “third way” to move from suburban single-family life to living in urban areas. (3) As the notion of “retirement” continues to change, the responsibilities and business venues of housing coops offer means of personal involvement outside a dualistic work-or-leisure framework. There are three aspects that might make housing coops attractive to millennials: (1) The aspect of security without the financial burden of property ownership might prove attractive, aligning with a documented de-emphasis upon the acquisition of material goods (e.g., home and auto ownership) present in this demographic segment. (2) The ability to organize a housing coop around core issues such as sustainability might appeal to the need often expressed for purposeful involvement. (3) The blurring between work and non-work documented within this demographic segment suggests perhaps a greater willingness to participate in shared responsibilities, governance and administration of a housing coop than other generations.

CONCLUDING RESEARCH PROJECT For the past four years, I have been researching general photography and stereoscopic photography of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with a focus upon buildings and cities. My point of departure is that stereoscopic photography, often dismissed as a nineteenth-century amusement and novelty by scholars, was a

Klahr 6

profoundly subversive medium, challenging the monocular norm of pictorial depiction that commenced with the Renaissance and continues to this day in non-stereoscopic photography and cinema. My research also explored how the Nazi regime documented cities through stereoscopic photo albums intended as works of propaganda, continuing a focus that was presented recently at the Associazione Italiana di Storia Urbana. Two cities that were geopolitical victories for Hitler – Vienna and Prague – were the subjects of this branch of research, which analyzed not only how iconic buildings and urban fabrics were captured via the stereoscopic process, but also the specific temporal, cultural and political contexts in which the books were conceived and published. The overall research project led to four presentations at peer-reviewed academic conferences: The College Art Association and German Studies Association in 2012, the Associazione Italiana di Storia Urbana in 2013, and the European Association for Urban History in 2014. One book chapter and two essays in peer-reviewed online journals have been published, as well as one conference paper, and a second conference paper currently is in press.

PRIOR RESEARCH Dissertation: “The Kaiser Builds in Berlin: Expressing National and Dynastic Identity in the Early Building Projects of Wilhelm II.” An architectural agenda is shown to have played a critical role in the establishment of a young monarch’s modus operandi of rulership, antedating other factors heretofore studied by historians. It is this connection that defines the methodological thrust of this interdisciplinary study, wherein a complex web of architectural, political, and legal issues is reconstructed from building reports, ministerial correspondence and parliamentary records. Exercise of power is the focus, and it is through the earliest building projects of the German sovereign Wilhelm II (1888-1918) that this is analyzed: the process of building, as an expression of power, is scrutinized to the same extent as the finished object, thereby revealing the nascent stages of a monarch’s political apparatus.

Master’s thesis: “Apartments of the Kurfürstendamm: Ironies of Grossbürgertum Housing in Wilhelmine Berlin.” The development in the 1880s of the Kurfürstendamm, a two-mile axis of opulent apartment buildings that was designed to be Berlin’s counterpart to the Champs-Élysées, is analyzed architecturally and socio-economically within local and international contexts. The persistence of a Berlin building tradition, the so-called Berliner Zimmer, establishes an architectural basis for a cross-cultural study that compares room arrangement and function with comparable residences in Paris, underscoring differences between the Grossbürgertum of Berlin and the haute bourgeoisie of Paris. The argument within Prussian society concerning Luxus – and its relation to the discourse regarding Zivilisation versus Kultur – provides a further context in which the Kurfürstendamm as the embodiment of residential luxury is examined.

UT ARLINGTON TEACHING EXPERIENCE University of Texas at Arlington, School of Architecture Associate Professor, 2012-present Assistant Professor, 2006-2012 Visiting Professor, 2005-06 Slum Housing in the Developing World (Spring 2015): This course was a total updating of a course I first offered in 2015: 90% of the readings were new. Starting with Part I, Getting to Know Slums and their Housing Issues, the course segued to Part II, Broader Issues Regarding Slum Housing. Part III, Case Studies and Recent Student Work examined housing in Uganda, India, and Brazil, while the overall emphasis of the first two parts was on Africa in general. Drawing from a wide variety of UN documents, the readings also included John Turner’s 1976 Housing by People and Gonzalo Lizarralde’s 2014 Invisible Houses: Rethinking and Designing Low-cost Housing in Developing Countries. Recent Architecture by Building Type (Spring 2014): Studying architecture of the past decade, this course departed from standard building types and instead challenged students to examine architecture using

Klahr 7

unconventional classifications such as insertions, parasites, wraps, juxtapositions, weavings, “smart” facades, specific materials, and solar-oriented design considerations. Writing exercises and essay exams provided students numerous opportunities to synthesize the information and question how they viewed buildings. Modern and Contemporary Architecture of Mexico (Fall 2013): The first in what is envisioned to be a series of courses about architecture in Latin America, this course was created in the summer of 2013, which involved collecting images and readings about the work of more than 100 Mexican architects. Organized into three major parts, the course began with the end of the Mexican Revolution in 1920 and continued to the present day: Modern Mexico and Issues Modernism; Mexico Adopts and Transforms Modernism: and Architecture in Mexico since Modernism. Essay exams and writing exercises require students to make connections between readings, and in-class discussion exercises divide the class into two groups and have them debate two sides to a question about architectural practice in Mexico. Introduction to Environmental and Sustainability Studies (Spring 2012, 2013): The Spring 2012 version of this course was totally updated version of my Fall 2009 course Sustainability for Everyone. It was cross-listed as the required core course for the recently created minor in Environmental and Sustainability Studies that is under the aegis of the Interdisciplinary Studies Department housed within the School of Urban and Public Affairs. The Spring 2013 version was in turn completely revamped, pulling in new readings and instituting a series of writing exercises that function in the same manner as those that I feature in my 4000-level courses. History of Interior Design (Spring 2010, Fall 2010, 2011): At the request of the Interior Design faculty, this course (INTD 3305) was created as a companion to Interior Materials (INTD 3321). Both courses are taught back-to-back on a Tuesday/Thursday schedule, thereby providing faculty and students with two 3-hour blocks of time each week. On Tuesdays, a period in 19th-21st century interior design is covered in class regarding both history and materials. On Thursdays, the class has a site visit to document a corresponding interior through photographs, quick sketches, and extensive measuring of dimensions. Through a grant received by Susan Appleton (who teaches INTD 3321), a book is published at the end of each semester of students’ detailed drawings. Sustainability for Everyone (Fall 2009): A new upper-level course that I developed was designed for students from all units of the university, since it addressed the trans-disciplinary essence of sustainability. Four major aspects of sustainability were examined: the environmental, the philosophical, the societal, and the economic. During the course of the semester, students read approximately 1,200 pages of readings drawn from the foremost authors writing about sustainability today. China Today: Architecture + Urban Planning (Maymester 2009): A new new course that I developed was designed as a post-2008 Olympics assessment of architecture and urban planning issues being addressed by Chinese practitioners, as opposed to the Western star architects who dominated the pre-Olympic period. The unprecedented pace at which China has been creating and transforming cities was examined within the broader context of the past century of Chinese history, especially its convoluted relationship with Western powers. Slum Housing (Spring 2009): A new upper-level course that I developed concentrated exclusively upon the housing crisis as it exists today in Nairobi, Mumbai, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, and other cities of the developing world. The crux of the course was the reality that the vast scope of one billion people living in such slums requires responses that are suited to the magnitude of the problem. Social, economic, cultural and design issues were the contexts in which architects’ roles in this crisis were assessed. Contemporary Architecture (Fall 2006, 2008): A new upper-level course that I developed focused exclusively upon architecture of the past 10 years. First offered in Fall 2006 but substantially revised for Fall 2008 with three themes: Architecture as Spectacle, Commodity and Brandscape; Prefabricated Architecture; and Architecture as it Responds to Environmental and Sustainability Demands. These were juxtaposed against detailed examinations of structures spread across ten different building types.

Klahr 8

Architecture and Politics: Expressing National Identity (Spring 2007): A new upper-level course that I developed examined the interface between buildings of state and issues of national identity over the past 150 years. The course was divided into three major segments: Part I examined both democratic and imperial capitals of the 19th and early 20th centuries; Part II examined the capitals of Fascism, Nazism, Communism, and the New Deal in the USA; and Part III examined post-WWII developments, from the effects of Communism to new capitals and new governments. Building types such as parliaments, courthouses, national libraries, and memorials were examined, as well as urban planning issues. History of Architecture and Design I (Fall 2005-2013; Spring 2006, 2011): This is survey course that covers prehistoric through medieval architecture and is required for architecture and interior design majors. As with all my courses, lectures are comprehensive PowerPoints that feature significant amounts of text and images, which are then uploaded to MavSpace, a secure website only open to students enrolled in the course. Students then download, save, and print the lectures, thereby actively taking part in the learning process by assembling their own “textbook” throughout the semester. History of Architecture and Design II (Spring 2007-2010): This is a survey course that covers Renaissance through contemporary architecture and is required for architecture and interior design majors. Modern Architecture I (Fall 2005, 2007, Summer 2010, Fall 2012): This is upper-level course about architecture from the 1850s through the 1940s that I substantially revamped by featuring an extensive array of readings that offered students a far greater variety of viewpoints than any of the current standard textbooks. Modern Architecture II (Spring 2006, 2008, 2011, 2013, 2015): This is upper-level course about architecture from the 1950s through the present that I substantially revamped by featuring an extensive array of readings that offered students a far greater variety of viewpoints than any of the current standard textbooks. Substantially revised in 2008 and again in 2011 with completely new textbooks each time. The Bright Green Movement (Maymester 2008): This was new course that I developed that focused upon the books Worldchanging and Design Like You Give a Damn: Architectural Responses to Humanitarian Crises. Architectural and non-architectural issues related to climate change and sustainability were addressed.
