Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2008.

This dissertation explores the institutionalization of modern architecture in England during 1935--1955. It focuses on a selected group of buildings and environments that were designed for children, such as playgrounds, schools, community centers and neighbourhood units, as well as discussions of urbanism at C.I.A.M. By examining the architecture of childhood and the architects' discourses of children, it points to a shift in the concept of functionalism in postwar English modernism from objective to subjective definitions of human "needs" as part of the Welfare State's new models of power and conception of citizenship. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that children were the ideal subjects of postwar functional architecture, precisely because of their status as incomplete citizens who by the nature of their immaturity are constituted as in need of observation, guidance, and care.

520 $a Chapter one analyzes the architecture of the Pioneer Health Centre at Peckham in order to relate the emergence of functional architecture in England to a new model of power designed to alter the everyday habits and notions of the self of the population. Chapter two historicizes the English appropriation of the adventure playground in the context of postwar reconstruction and slum rehabilitation policies. It frames the rise of the theme of play in architectural discourse in the psychologization of citizenship as a response to the failure of liberal citizenship during the interwar period. Chapter three examines the architecture of the postwar school. It links the attempt to redefine architectural practice in terms of an environmental science to educational techniques that incited and observed the interaction of children with their surroundings as a way of modulating their physical and mental growth. Chapter Four examines Team 10's employment of photographs of children's urban play in C.I.A.M. presentations. It links the postwar critique of the Functional City to a sociological discourse of urban subjectivity that was appropriated by the Welfare State for social reconstruction.
