OverviewOriginally published in 1962, this book traces the main influences behind modern design in domestic architecture. It does so against the context of the effect each new dwelling has on its environment and the effect its design has on those in the surrounding (and often older, historic) housing stock. Diverse influences such as the bye-law street and Le Corbusier’s Ville Radieuse are discussed, while the ideas bearing on the individual private house range from those of the early nineteenth century villa builders to Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie houses and the work of Mies van der Rohe. The book closes with a detailed discussion of the problems and possibilities of domestic design in house-building in the late 20th Century Full Product DetailsAuthor: Elisabeth BeazleyPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd Imprint: Routledge Weight: 0.589kg ISBN: 9781032708812ISBN 10: 1032708816 Pages: 198 Publication Date: 01 February 2024 Audience: College/higher education , Tertiary & Higher Education Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.

She qualified as an architect and worked for Lionel Brett in Oxfordshire, where her work included involvement with Hatfield new town. She subsequently freelanced and made several extended visits to Turkey and Iran in the late fifties and sixties to work on archaeological digs with some of the leading experts of the period. She became a specialist on the vernacular buildings of the Iranian plateau. She combined a career as an author with freelance work as a landscape architect, particularly in the field of visitor access at a time when car ownership was becoming universal.
