Housing and Dwelling: Perspectives on Modern Domestic Architecture

These essays on the history of domestic architecture collectively introduce scholars and students to the wide range of issues, approaches, interpretations and source materials available in this growing field of interest, while also giving the practising architect a historical grounding in dwelling design and suggesting directions for future research.An innovative blend of contributions from traditional sources in history, philosophy and archaeology as well as fresh perspectives from, among others, oral history, gender studies and social sciences, this book encompasses an unprecedented chronological range and depth, and places domesticity in architectural and art history analysis in its wider intellectual context.
