Fallout Shelter: Designing for Civil Defense in the Cold War (Architecture, Landscape and American Culture) ハードカバー – 2011/4/8

In 1961, reacting to U.S. government plans to survey, design, and build fallout shelters, the president of the American Institute of Architects, Philip Will, told the organization&;s members that &;all practicing architects should prepare themselves to render this vital service to the nation and to their clients.&; In an era of nuclear weapons, he argued, architectural expertise could &;preserve us from decimation.&;
In Fallout Shelter, David Monteyne traces the partnership that developed between architects and civil defense authorities during the 1950s and 1960s. Officials in the federal government tasked with protecting American citizens and communities in the event of a nuclear attack relied on architects and urban planners to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of both purpose-built and ad hoc fallout shelters. For architects who participated in this federal effort, their involvement in the national security apparatus granted them expert status in the Cold War. Neither the civil defense bureaucracy nor the architectural profession was monolithic, however, and Monteyne shows that architecture for civil defense was a contested and often inconsistent project, reflecting specific assumptions about race, gender, class, and power.
Despite official rhetoric, civil defense planning in the United States was, ultimately, a failure due to a lack of federal funding, contradictions and ambiguities in fallout shelter design, and growing resistance to its political and cultural implications. Yet the partnership between architecture and civil defense, Monteyne argues, helped guide professional design practice and influenced the perception and use of urban and suburban spaces. One result was a much-maligned bunker architecture, which was not so much a particular style as a philosophy of building and urbanism that shifted focus from nuclear annihilation to urban unrest.

レビュー

"Fallout Shelter deals in depth with one of the most material, most local, and most peculiar manifestations of the Cold War in the U.S.--the bomb shelter. David Monteyne provides an excellent model for assessing the anonymous architectural agents, past and present, that affect human action." --Annabel Wharton, author of Building the Cold War: Hilton International Hotels and Modern Architecture

The book is very interesting. It isn't just a dry history of Fallout shelters and Civil Defense but it also shows you the issues that many involved in the designing and building of fallout shelters, and bomb shelters, had. When you prepare for war don't you end up bringing it about? Shouldn't this energy be better used on helping the undeveloped nations or helping uplift the poor or maybe bring world peace? In deciding where the shelters would be weren't the U.S. government and state governments deciding who would live and who would die? And who is so many white people in the drawings of the shelters and so few people of color? Hmmmm?
The last chapter brings it all together by using the City Hall of Boston as an example. Helping lived in Massachusetts I remember seeing the building as a teenager and mistaking it for a parking garage. But later on, when visiting the building, I did find the inside somewhat striking.
The book, in the end, also helped me understand why many of the buildings I have lived in, worked in, and went to school, looked like they do. If you are interesting in 20th Century history, the Cold War, or architecture you may wish to pick this book up.

A particularly interesting book for anyone wishing to understand the relationship of architectural practice and civil defence provision in the United States of America during the Cold War.

While the book does contain some enjoyable design descriptions, background materials, and good illustrations, I was disappointed by what I saw as the author's frequent attempts to promote his own opinions about the fallout shelter and Civil Defense programs, rather than just inform. I was further troubled that some of his statements or conclusions seemed more like revisionist history rather than historical fact. Finally, the quote on the back cover that fallout shelters are a peculiar manifestation of the US response to the Cold War is flatly false, as the Soviet Union and their satellite states had a huge fallout shelter program that included hardened civilian shelters that surpassed US civilian shelters in terms of design and numbers: the Warsaw Pact nations built blast resistant civilian shelters with pre-installed lighting, bunks, water tanks, standby generators, and decon showers, where America's largely unhardened civilian shelters had plastic bags holding water in waxed cardboard barrels and crude chemical toilet barrels. The author totally failed to touch on important aspects such as ventilation and heat load issues or the means to deal with them, such as PVK's (packaged ventilation kits), the single or tandem stationary-bicycle driven fans that were intended to ventilate shelter space.
