Architectural Guide London
A city famous for its rapid growth and high cost of living, London is not a place one immediately associates with social housing. Twentieth-century buildings thus make up the bulk of the guide: the pre-First World War Hampstead Garden Suburb, quintessentially English Mock-Tudor estates, and brutalist icons such as the Barbican are all included. Yet the British capital has a long history of such projects: from Henry Roberts' works for the Society for Improving the Condition of the Labouring Classes in the nineteenth century to the contemporary, RIBA-award-winning Dujardin Mews.Divided by period rather than architectural style, this guide focuses on the developments in this often-overlooked field, beginning at the close of the nineteenth century and finishing at the present day.
