Post Box for the Development of the Habitat, Newsletter #1 by Jaap Bakema

The work presented at Otterlo September 1959, made clear that the interest of the participants was no more only directed at the development of modern architecture, but more at the development of total human Habitat […] Therefor it is also decided that the name of C.I.A.M. could no more be used by the participants, and that the international contact should be developed towards a more intensified working method for individuals and groups on the subject Habitat. 

For that purpose there will be available the secretary address: 
Posthoornstraat 12B

Now, I make the next propositions:

1. If you are confrontated with problems concerning Habitat and you like to confrontate them with other colleagues, who are working in research spirit, you send me plans, text and photos concerning this problems.

2. I shall prepare a folded illustrated communication paper with summaries of this information.

3. After a period there will be a meeting of those who gave information, organized by themselves.

4. The name of this exchange centre will be :
Post Box for the development of the Habitat. (B.P.H.)
Boîte Postale pour le developpement de l’Habitat. (B.P.H.)
Briefkasten für die Entwicklung von Habitat. (B.P.H.)

5. The aim will be to develop architecture and townplanning towards a language which can communicate about human behaviour.
