Reviews

Review of the first publication: ‘There is a great deal that is thought-provoking in this book. It makes it plain that design is not something produced by architects working in a vacuum, but reflects much wider social processes. It also makes clear how aesthetic imperatives in the design process can increase burdens of housework and child care. It should be read by anyone with an interest in housing.’ — Journal of Architectural and Planning Research, Vol. 12, No. 4
