4.9/5 (13446 ratings)

Description:Photographic documentation of two of the Chalet Fields of the Gower in South Wales, with an interview with local architect Owen Short. The book shows the evolution of these colourful wooden houses over the last few decades in a series of over 70 colour photographs that show their distinctive attraction and value as a form of housing. This is a focused study that takes the case of the 'plotland' housing phenomena in the UK and perhaps for the first time gives a range of photographic evidence that is put into a developmental context by the interview with local architect Owen Short. The #plotlands were the subject of a chapter in my book The Conspiracy of Good Taste that showed how this way of producing housing for the people was repressed in favour of a financialised 'brick and mortar' model which had the life-long mortgage at its core. This book allows the colourful aesthetics of this housing to be put to the foreground with an implicit argument in favour of this approach, which can be started with minimal costs and can adapt and grow with the circumstances of the occupants.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
