Samenvatting

Het woonerf roept bij veel mensen associaties op met woningbouw uit de jaren zeventig, met achterhaalde idealen uit lang vervlogen tijden. Er is kritiek op de onhandig meanderende structuren, de kale buitenruimten, de rommeligheid, de weinig uitgesproken architectuur. Ondanks enkele nog steeds aansprekende voorbeelden lijkt de ooit zo invloedrijke term tegenwoordig te staan voor een stoffige, uitstralingsloze massa, waarin plannenmakers van nu geen heil meer zien.

Toch zijn hier en daar andere geluiden hoorbaar. Als een van de weinige Nederlandse architectenbureaus afficheert architectenbureau Onix zich openlijk met de gedachte van het erf als ruimte om te delen. In zijn terminologie en architectuur gaan nostalgische referenties aan kleinschaligheid, dorpen en schuren gepaard met nieuwe vormen van collectief wonen.
