The Modern house revisited

Article Abstract:

The Modern Movement was born in the 1930s in the UK. Pioneers include Berthold Lubetkin, Connell, Ward and Lucas and the MARS group. Modern architecture was seen as progressive, working towards the reconstruction of society. The most Modern building of the 1930s was not the block of flats, but the house, built for individuals, not the mass market. The Modern house was a product of its age and is part of architectural history.
