Description
PRP is one of the most successful housing practices in the world. Peter Phippen, Peter Randall and David Parkes founded the practice in 1963 and since then have moved forward from their Modernist beginnings, as evidenced in the post-Second World War housing boom, to the diverse concerns of the 21st century - creating hospice care and sheltered housing for the elderly and infirm, as well as accommodating the need for sustainable, low-energy, zero-carbon developments.
Place & Home: The Search for Better Housing comprises essays on PRP's past and current work, as well as texts on the topics of 'place', 'building technology' and 'home' in architecture. These are interspersed with illustrated case studies of PRP's work with housing associations, local authorities and private developers, in diverse locations including Moscow, La Grande Motte, Milton Keynes, Manchester and Brixton. A fine read for all interested in housing and its future.
