Notes

  • This item is a facsimile of the original page.
  • . . . that two sites were selected to illustrate the benefits of the short-life house.
  • . . . that the Deeplish Study was the first in this country to recommend rehabilitation of old housing stock in preference to demolition and redevelopment […]
  • . . . that it seems logical to compare such ‘short-life’ housing with new limited-life housing’, tested in Deeplish and a ‘“virgin” site in Tilbury, Essex’.
  • . . . that the short-life house was meant to operate as a pattern, springing up in an area as demand, job opportunities, and desire dictated, expanding the habitation possibilities of otherwise unused or brownfield land.
  • . . . that suburban possibilities are indicated in item_21765 (below left) which gives sample locations of the ‘variable extended homes’ where ‘inflatable extensions’ can spread outward alongside such modern amenities as the ‘car park for drive-in church’.
  • . . . that the houses could perch on nontraditional sites and nestle into existing architecture, operating as infill in urban settings.
