Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How big does a home really need to be? When Henry decides to build a cabin for himself in the woods, he gets some help and a lot of advice from his friends. But Henry, being Henry, has his own ideas, and he sets about building his house as a bird builds its nest. As he adds everything he thinks his cabin needs, Henry’s new home ends up being a lot bigger than it looks! Inspired by the life of Henry David Thoreau, and illustrated with nature-filled paintings by author and artist D. B. Johnson, Henry Builds a Cabin is a thoughtful and beautiful meditation on what a home can be.

Book excerpt: Victorian visitors had shooting lodges - Scots had trips doon the watter. Norwegian citizens had hytte - Scots had Butlins. Why have the inhabitants of one of Europe's prime tourist destinations been elbowed off the land and exiled from nature for so long? Lesley Riddoch relives her own bothy experience, rediscovers lost hutting communities, travels through hytte-covered Norway and suggests that thousands of humble woodland huts would give Scots a vital post-covid connection with nature and affordable, low-impact holidays in their own beautiful land - at last.

Download or read book Chalet Fields of the Gower written by STEFAN. OWEN SZCZELKUN (SHORT.) and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographic documentation of two of the Chalet Fields of the Gower in South Wales, with an interview with local architect Owen Short. The book shows the evolution of these colourful wooden houses over the last few decades in a series of over 70 colour photographs that show their distinctive attraction and value as a form of housing. This is a focused study that takes the case of the 'plotland' housing phenomena in the UK and perhaps for the first time gives a range of photographic evidence that is put into a developmental context by the interview with local architect Owen Short. The Plotlands were the subject of a chapter in my book The Conspiracy of Good Taste that showed how this way of producing housing for the people was repressed in favour of a financialised 'brick and mortar' model which had the life-long mortgage at its core. This book allows the colourful aesthetics of this housing to be put to the foreground with an implicit argument in favour of this approach, which can be started with minimal costs and can adapt and grow with the circumstances of the occupants.

Download or read book A Portrait of Basildon Plotlands written by Deanna Walker and published by Phillimore. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former plotlands around Laindon and Dunton are still held dear in the memories of many of their former residents. Most of the grassy lanes have since been swallowed up by new housing, but the combination of archive material with the recollections and photographs of those who once made the plotlands their home will bring back to life the period from the 1930s to the advent of Basildon Development Corporation in the 1950s, when the plotland population was its highest. Although the memories of those who owned weekend huts are included, the focus is on the permanent residents who were here all year round. They couldn’t depart for London when the mud reached the tops of their boots, the milkman’s cart got stuck in a rut, and the standpipes were frozen solid. Some had fled the London blitz but now found themselves under attack in the Essex countryside. Material from Lord Leatherland’s estate shows how the Parish Invasion Committee helped plotlanders prepare for possible invasion and even held an exercise to test their preparations. Coverage includes plotland lanes in the west of Laindon, an area that has received little attention so far. Documentary evidence reveals just how the Corporation tackled the thorny question of ‘what to do with the shack dwellers’. For the unmade roads lined with self-built bungalows were home to those who coped without the basic mains services that were generally being taken for granted. Other hazards included adders, bulls, spiders in the loo, vicious dogs, disappearing bread, shotgun pellets and arson attacks. And yet the plotlands inspire enormous nostalgia, and those who recall with pleasure the hot tea and blackberries they once enjoyed here will find a great deal in this delightful book to amuse them.

Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, due to the agricultural depression, farmland in several parts of Essex was divided into small plots and sold by auction. Mainly bought by Londoners, the plotlands sadly no longer exist, having been absorbed into Basildon New Town. This fascinating book traces the 'plotlanders' story from the 1890s to the 1990s.

Download or read book Plotlands of Shepperton written by Stefan Szczelkun and published by Routine Art Company. This book was released on 2020-10-10 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides photographic documentation of the houses on five plotland sites in Shepperton. 27 small colour photographs document Hamhaugh Island in 2004. There are then 14 full page photos of views across the Thames showing the riverside dwelling on the other bank. In addition there are 21 full page photographs of the plotland chalets in close-up view. Two of these are panoramas across a two page spread. A short section to finish has photographs of riverside chalets further downstream at Sunbury, Hampton and Eel Pie Island in Twickenham. Finally, there is a photograph of author JG Ballard's semi-detached brick house in Shepperton. The 'footnotes' that run along the bottom of the pages under the photographs are a river of words which are intended to reflect deeper significance into the images floating above them. This is the second collection of colour photographs in a series that will illustrate the Plotlands of the UK in a way that does not seem to have been attempted before. It is hoped that this will provide the basis for a renewed debate on this method of providing first homes for working class people.

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays and an edited selection of the work produced by Design Studio 18 (DS18) tutored by Lindsay Bremner and Roberto Bottazzi in the Department of Architecture at the University of Westminster, 2013-2015. The aim of the studio over this period was to approach problems of energy, energy infrastructure and resource extraction as architectural questions i.e. as political, cultural and aesthetic problems, as much as technological ones. Computational tools were used to simulate material processes and to enlist, visualise and enliven data in the service of design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the theories and practices for analysing and recording the vast range of small historic buildings that constitute the core element of Britain's built landscape. It examines what has been done and what still needs to be achieved to preserve and understand our architectural heritage. Chapters explore the historic context of the discipline, the significant increase in the amount and type of building recording following new government policy guidance procedures, the necessity for informed conservation to rest on detailed understanding of particular buildings, the problems encountered by professional consultants, the development of new research techniques and applications, education, the role of voluntary recorders, and the pressing needs to better storage and access for records.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the various types of building in both the North and South of Ireland, in towns villages and the countryside, this work aims to help readers to identify buildings and establish their history and purpose. Buildings are therefore identified by type, location and function. The focus is on the small everyday buildings of Ireland - dwellings, workplaces, churches, schools and other local symbols of administration and institution. Great works of architecture, the large country house and the monumental architecture of the city have been omitted, except where they are used to illustrate historical development.
