Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Architecture: Fallout Shelters As an important part of the full shelter program, the Office of Civil Defense is engaged in several professional development activities for architects and engineers. Among these are: (l) the professional development of architects and engineers in fallout shelter design to evaluate existing buildings and to design shelters in new buildings, (2) operation of short courses for-the development of professional knowledge, (3) experimentation with equipment and facilities for shelters, and (4) research by organizations and universities to study problems related to shelter design. The development of the capability for protective construction among architects and engineers is the responsibility of the Architectural and Engineering Development Division of the Office of Civil Defense, which works directly with the organized professions and the schools of archi tecture and engineering Courses are offered to architects and engineers at various schools and universities throughout the country to acquaint them with the new technology of radiation shielding design and analysis. Certification by the Department of Defense as a qualified shelter analyst is granted upon successful completion of the course Those architects and engineers wishing to enroll in these courses can contact their nearest local, state or regional civil defense office for information and enrollment forms. The topic of this report deals with both the facilities of the plant and the protection of the occupants from fallout gamma radiation in the event of possible nuclear attack. By creating this protection, respon sible leaders of industry will provide this security as an extra employee benefit and also contribute to the strength and preparedness of the country. It is the architect's role both to advise the building owner and to translate his industrial program into physical reality. The architect's honest expression of the functions of various manufacturing processes produces an architecture of bold forms, clarity of structure, and integrity of materials which has become the credo of contemporary architecture. As needs become more-complex, the architect's role becomes even more vital. The industrial building is a trademark for the product, and the plant facilities are the environment which influences the efficiencies, loyalties, and attitudes of the workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
