| الملخص: | This article looks at the reconstruction of agricultural buildings after the Second World War in Calvados, a region in the northwest of Normandy that saw significant destruction of its rural areas. It aims to shed light on how these buildings were rebuilt and modernized, as well as the architectural and industrial doctrine that drove this reconstruction process. In Calvados, a third of all farms were destroyed or damaged. In order for agriculture to be re-established, livestock had to be rebuilt, mines had to be cleared, land had to be rehabilitated, equipment had to be replenished, and temporary housing had to be provided. The necessary recovery program was carried out between 1944 and 1947. The final reconstruction was overseen and financed by the French government. La Maison du Paysan acted as an intermediary for the state in Calvados, through the Coopérative de reconstruction de l’habitat rural (CRHR; Cooperative for the Reconstruction of Rural Housing). Committed to defending family-run farms, the CRHR supported the state’s modernization project. However, this sentiment was not necessarily shared by those whose farms had fallen victim to the war, so the CRHR and the architects involved were forced to accept all manner of functional, constructive, and aesthetic compromises. |
