Project
Housing Research
AP144.S2.D67
Description:
File documents Housing Research on flexible, pre-fabricated, short-life housing in the United Kingdom. Much of the material developed for this project was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 4", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (October 1971), 619-628; 630, and "Cedric Price Supplement No. 5", 'Architectural Design', vol. 42, (January 1972), 24-29; 38-43. Although the research was sponsored by Cedric Price it is possible that he presented the results to the Ministry of Housing. The published research examines housing's "life patterning" potential within broader social, economic, and historical contexts. Some of the material also relates to Steel House (AP144.S2.D60). Cedric Price developed proposals for two test sites: Rochdale in Greater Manchester and Tilbury in Thurrock, England. Material in this file was produced between 1951 and 1998, but predominantly between 1967 and 1971. File contains material and research by Royston Landau. File contains conceptual drawings, design development drawings, layout, maps, model, photographic materials, presentation panels, and textual records.
