描述
This book studies the industrial origins of system building, and its development both in theory and in practice, in the post-war British welfare state. Politicians, architects and social planners have long dreamed of the potential of mass-produced housing. Finnimore reviews the problems these groups confronted, the pressures they brought to bear on local authorities, housing professionals and the industry, and the responses of the architectural profession. House From The Factory provides the first integrated history of system building in its larger political and economic context.
