ABSTRACT The increase in the production of armaments following the outbreak of the First World War led to an expansion of existing factories and the building of new manufacturing facilities. Alongside this rapid growth was a need for additional accommodation for the workers. Due to the shortage of both traditional building materials and tradesmen, many of these developments used non-traditional materials, and several housing estates were built using concrete blocks or precast concrete systems. Despite being over 100 years old, most of these estates remain, and in many cases are still highly regarded. As with many housing estates for industrial concerns, they were built to high standards with modern facilities to attract workers to the area. The research presented in this article is based to a significant extent on contemporary reports and descriptions, coupled with visits to a selection of housing estates of the period.

为第一次世界大战的军火工人建造的房屋的技术和建造

摘要 第一次世界大战爆发后军备生产的增加导致现有工厂的扩建和新制造设施的建设。除了这种快速增长之外，还需要为工人提供额外的住宿。由于传统建筑材料和商人的短缺，这些开发项目中有许多使用非传统材料，并且有几个住宅区是使用混凝土砌块或预制混凝土系统建造的。尽管已有 100 多年的历史，但大多数这些庄园仍然存在，并且在许多情况下仍然受到高度重视。与许多工业住宅区一样，它们以高标准建造，配备现代化设施，以吸引工人到该地区。
