State-funded militant infrastructure? CERFI’s équipements collectifs in the intellectual history of architecture

‘Militant’ research that interrogates the operations of the modern state is not often state-funded; even less common is the conception of architecture as a militant practice. Yet these two conditions coincide in the case of the French research collective CERFI (Centre d’études, de recherches et de formations institutionelles, or Centre for Institutional Studies, Research and Training). Starting in 1967, CERFI directed state funding toward research carried out by psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, architects, urbanists, historians, care workers, activists and sociologists. These researchers developed theories and practices of what they called ‘équipements collectifs’, a form of physical and social infrastructure that served needs the state had not identified or prioritised. This concept of infrastructure helped CERFI to obtain research contracts from the French Ministry of Equipment, which in turn allowed them to develop interdisciplinary, collaborative and participatory models for conceptualising and designing infrastructure which would have otherwise been impossible. At a moment like this one, when infrastructure studies take a more prominent role in the discipline of architecture, and where programming decisions are often driven more by data than by deliberation, CERFI’s theories are important to revisit.

国家资助的激进基础设施?CERFI 在建筑思想史上的设备收藏

询问现代国家运作的“激进”研究通常不是由国家资助的;更不常见的是建筑作为一种激进的实践的概念。然而,这两个条件在法国研究集体 CERFI(Centre d'études、de recherches et deformations Institutionelles,或机构研究、研究和培训中心)的情况下是一致的。从 1967 年开始,CERFI 将国家资金用于由精神分析师、精神病学家、建筑师、城市学家、历史学家、护理工作者、活动家和社会学家进行的研究。这些研究人员开发了他们所谓的“设备集合”的理论和实践,这是一种满足国家尚未确定或优先考虑的需求的物理和社会基础设施形式。这一基础设施概念帮助 CERFI 获得了法国设备部的研究合同,这反过来又使他们能够开发跨学科、协作和参与式模型来概念化和设计基础设施,否则这是不可能的。在这样的时刻,当基础设施研究在架构学科中扮演更重要的角色,并且编程决策通常更多地由数据而不是审议驱动时,重新审视 CERFI 的理论很重要。
