Abstract: |
Domestic architecture of the twentieth century can claim particular significance. The Arts and Crafts Movement and the Garden City Movement are two international trends of modern times that originated in England, and the private house – the unit of the English suburb – lay at their heart. In the inter-war years, interesting private houses were built in a variety of traditional as well as modern styles, and to an extent this continued in the post-war years. The Garden City Movement operated on a much
broader scale than the Arts and Crafts Movement,
which it embraced, and produced developments
in town planning of the first order. Its founder,
Ebenezer Howard, tirelessly promoted the garden
city as an alternative to unrestrained urban
growth but the movement soon expanded to
encompass garden suburbs, mostly famously at
Hampstead, London Borough of Brent (planned
by Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin but with
other architects, including Lutyens, from 1906
onwards), and garden villages. |
