Wood's firm is representative of a geographically distinct category of post-war architectural and design practice - that of the small private practice that flourished in Britain's expanding suburbs after the removal of wartime building restrictions. Such firms, which played an important role in the development of British domestic design, are currently under-represented within architectural histories of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe private house represents an important site in which new spatial, material and aesthetic parameters for modern living were defined after the Second World War. Within a British context, the architect-designed private house remained an important 'vehicle for the investigation of architectural ideas' by second generation modernist architects and designers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a series of case study houses, designed by Wood's firm, the book reconsiders the progress of modern domestic architecture in Britain and demonstrates the ways in which architectural discourse and practice intersected with the experience, performance and representation of domestic modernity in post-war Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fiona Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge Research in Architecture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138567474","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461282775177,"sku":"9781138567474","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_c33182f3-e675-4500-886a-d772a3bc573b.jpg?v=1784058290","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/designing-the-british-post-war-home-kenneth-wood-1948-1968-9781138567474","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
