BIOPOLITICS OF SCALE which polarities are reconciled: the individual and the collective; the outside and the inside; the unity and the diversity; the part and the whole, the large and the small; the many and the few as well as the opposition between architecture and urbanism. The failure of modern city planning, according to van Eyck, stems from its inability to deal with these “twin phenomena” as he calls them: “Failure to govern multiplicity creatively, to humanize number by means of articulation and configuration [...] has led to the curse of most new towns.” 28 The role of both architecture and urbanism is to define a configuration of clearly delineated intermediary places; in other words, scales are not defined any more as bounded entities but rather as a set of inbetween realms. While much of the discourse of the Team 10 was a response to the Fordist society, this understanding of the in-between realm announces a different type of discourse about the city, one that, from the late ’60s onwards, became increasingly dominant. It was marked by a proliferation of debates about “intermediary spaces,” “semi-public,” “semi-private,” “spaces of transition,” “spaces of negotiation,” and “urban voids”—a vocabulary that, indeed, governs discourse about urban spaces to this day. 29 Such modulation of the in-between spaces puts to an end the fundamental dialectics which defined the social-democratic imagination of much of the modern movement as well as the architectural and urban practice of the welfare-state: the dialectics between the Existenzminimum, on the one hand, and, on the other, the “collective luxury” of sun, air, greenery, and social facilities which are calculated according to the density of the inhabitants within specific scalar thresholds. 30 In the course of the last thirty years this dialectics has been increasingly replaced with an architecture and urbanism charged with the task, in the words of Aldo van Eyck, to create an “interior both outside and inside.” 31 Consequently, such conceived urban space becomes increasingly modeled according to intimate links between a bedroom, a kitchen, a living room, a staircase and a garden. And thus it is not accidental that much of the critique of the Fordist city—functionalistically fractured into spaces of work, housing, leisure and transportation—was developed, during the 1960s 28 Ibid, 100. 29 Christian Moley, Les abords du chez-soi, en quête d'espaces intermédiaires (Paris: Éd. de la Villette, 2006). 30 See also: Łukasz Stanek, “Collective Luxury: Architecture and Populism in Charles Fourier,” HUNCH 14 (2010). 31 Smithson, Primer, 104. 121
ŁUKASZ STANEK in France, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States from within the bounds of both sociological and ethnographic research about the domestic interior, preparing architecture for its emerging role as a mass medium of normalized images of domestic consumption. 32 From that point onwards, the domestic interior and the city have become increasingly intertwined into one urban field of production and reproduction: a set of in-between spaces whose articulation is dominated by concerns of privacy, identity, and security. 32 See Stanek, Henri Lefebvre on Space; and the recent analysis of the work by Venturi and Scott-Brown by Reinhold Martin in his Utopia’s Ghost: Architecture and Postmodernism, Again (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2010), 4ff. 122
