In a period when homeownership was becoming the norm, these communities sought out varieties of architecture and design that were both nostalgic and modern, reflecting longings for ‘Old England’ on the one hand and technological convenience on the other. The book draws on exhibitions, memoirs, advertisements and films, as well as surviving examples of suburban architecture and interiors, to identify a distinctively suburban modernism, embodied by the Tudorbethan semi. Arguing that the ‘ideal’ home of the period was both a retreat from the outside world and a site of change and experimentation, it concludes by considering how such houses are lived in today. This new edition also features an introductory chapter on researching the history of your own home.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Manchester University PressGenre: Architecture & AntiquesTopic: Arts & Photography, HistoryItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 499gRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
