Beyond the Plan: The Transformation of Personal Space in Housing by Stephen Willats

How do residents respond to an architect's design of their homes? What changes do they make to create a home that is truly their own? Beyond the Plan examines just what alterations people have made to their living spaces to give it their unique stamp. With examples from housing projects from the turn of the century to more recent years, the book covers the complete range of average housing stock--and the indelible mark of everyday home dwellers.
