Design for Living: The C20 house - The influence of the steel-framed house
Design for Living: The C20 house - The influence of the steel-framed house
Lecture by Neil Jackson
Thursday 30th November - Doors open at 6.15pm for a 6.30pm start.
The C20 autumn lecture series looks at what makes the C20 house so special, so different from what came before, to celebrate the publication in September of 100 Houses 100 Years, to which all the speakers contributed. The lectures will explore how the design of the C20 house was affected by changes in the outside world, building and domestic technology and living patterns. In addition, we will hear about the trends in housing at the end of the century and the relationship between architect and client. Lectures will be held on Thursday evenings at 6.30pm from 2 November to November 30th and the last lecture on Wednesday 6th December at the Gallery, 70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6EJ
The design of C20 houses were strongly influenced by mid-century American steel-framed houses, typified by the Case Study houses in Los Angeles. Neil Jackson will talk about these iconic designs and the British houses they inspired.
Neil Jackson is an architect, architectural historian and Charles Reilly Professor of Architecture at the University of Liverpool.
