This illuminating book, redesigned and updated for this brand-new edition, is a fascinating insight into Britain's built heritage and the diverse housing styles of the twentieth century. It showcases 100 houses, from throughout the 20th century and stretching into the 21st, that represent the range of architectural styles throughout the years and show how housing has adapted to suit urban life. Each house is accompanied by stunning photography and texts written by leading architectural critics and design historians, including Gavin Stamp, Elain Harwood, Barnabas Calder, Ellis Woodman and Gillian Darley. From specially commissioned architect-design houses for private individuals to housing built for increased workforces, each of the 100 houses brings a different design style or historical story.
