Autumn 2014
London
With the current revival of concern about Housing it seems a good time to re-examine examples from the Modern Movement where it has always been a central concern. While much Modernist housing has (sometimes rightly) been criticised for social or technical failures it remains rich in lessons valid for Housing today. The purpose of this series of lectures is to look carefully into past examples in order to distil what may be useful and principled in both ideas and forms.
This series will examine specific examples by architects who considered themselves part of the Modern Movement. Looking back on work of some decades earlier offers us the chance to assess how subsequent issues can effect Housing in ways that could not have been predicted, offering further lessons for design today.
