The Recent Past: How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go THE RECENT PAST: HOW CAN I MISS YOU IF YOU WON’T GO AWAY? by KAY SUZANNE STANTON (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT How can the importance of preserving resources from a more recent era than those typically protected be determined? The field of historic preservation must confront these resources regularly, and as time passes, will do so more frequently due to the large number of buildings that were constructed immediately after World War Two. The research methodology for this thesis includes archival research, review of articles and papers pertaining to the subject, including current debates and case studies/issues as well as two case studies in the state of Georgia. In conclusion, preservationists must learn to regard recent past resources more objectively by learning to notice ‘invisible’ resources. They should also look beyond unfamiliar materials and construction methods, generate positive attitudes about these resources, use the newness to an advantage, and take an active role in preserving the recent past.

  • Domestic 4: the Modern House and Housing
    Domestic 4: Modern Houses and Housing Listing Selection Guide Summary Historic England’s twenty listing selection guides help to define which historic buildings are likely to meet the relevant tests for national designation and be included on the National Heritage List for England. Listing has been in place since 1947 and operates under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. If a building is felt to meet the necessary standards, it is added to the List. This decision is taken by the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). These selection guides were originally produced by English Heritage in 2011: slightly revised versions are now being published by its successor body, Historic England. The DCMS‘ Principles of Selection for Listing Buildings set out the over-arching criteria of special architectural or historic interest required for listing and the guides provide more detail of relevant considerations for determining such interest for particular building types. See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/principles-of- selection-for-listing-buildings. Each guide falls into two halves. The first defines the types of structures included in it, before going on to give a brisk overview of their characteristics and how these developed through time, with notice of the main architects and representative examples of buildings. The second half of the guide sets out the particular tests in terms of its architectural or historic interest a building has to meet if it is to be listed. A select bibliography gives suggestions for further reading. This guide, one of four on different types of Domestic Buildings, covers modern houses and housing.

  • Bibliography Sources for Further Reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography
    Bibliography Sources for further reading May 2011 National Trust Bibliography Introduction Over many years a great deal has been published about the properties and collections in the care of the National Trust, yet to date no single record of those publications has been established. The following Bibliography is a first attempt to do just that, and provides a starting point for those who want to learn more about the properties and collections in the National Trust’s care. Inevitably this list will have gaps in it. Do please let us know of additional material that you feel might be included, or where you have spotted errors in the existing entries. All feedback to [email protected] would be very welcome. Please note the Bibliography does not include minor references within large reference works, such as the Encyclopaedia Britannica, or to guidebooks published by the National Trust. How to use The Bibliography is arranged by property, and then alphabetically by author. For ease of use, clicking on a hyperlink will take you from a property name listed on the Contents Page to the page for that property. ‘Return to Contents’ hyperlinks will take you back to the contents page. To search by particular terms, such as author or a theme, please make use of the ‘Find’ function, in the ‘Edit’ menu (or use the keyboard shortcut ‘[Ctrl] + [F]’).

  • Going Public: the Modern Heritage House on Display
    GOING PUBLIC: THE MODERN HERITAGE HOUSE ON DISPLAY Hannah Lewi1 1 University of Melbourne As modern twentieth century architecture ages and recedes into the realms of history, surviving examples have increasingly become accepted as valid additions to heritage inventories and protected sites. 1 In the particular case of modern houses deemed of significance, their ‘embalming’ as house museums for public display offers one kind of lifeline for future survival. The very act of preservation may be seen as antithetical to the ideals of modernist architecture; distinctive in its celebration of newness and ephemerality and its opposition to age and historicity. However the following account will not go down this now well trodden path analysing the paradoxes of conserving modernism.2 And, as other commentators have pointed out, the conservation movement and modernism developed hand-in-hand, not merely as adversaries but rather more like antagonistic siblings, each with a different yet in some ways complementary response to progress. 3 Nor is the particular program of conserving and restoring a modern house easily generalised as antithetical to the ideals of modernism; through their embalming and ongoing care, these houses can maintain some illusion of eternal youth and ‘presentness’ – not necessarily at odds with their original conception. The public display of modern domestic exemplars also continues a number of modernism’s central preoccupations. For instance, avant-garde and cubist movements experimented with the creation and staged display of interior modern rooms before and after WWI. And modern architects often exploited the genre of domestic display when showcasing radically new conceptions of living to a public audience: for example the display of designs at the Weissenhof Estate, Stuttgart in 1927; and the exhibition of novel pavilions at international expositions such as Charlotte Perriand’s model modern apartment, shown at the Salon d’Automne in 1929.

  • Doing Interwar House Histories
    Introduction: Doing interwar house histories The first edition of this book was published just as the first series of BBC Two’s A House Through Time was broadcast in the UK.1 Each series tells the story of a single house and its occupants from when it was built to the present. I appear in all three series as a historical consultant, and my particular role focuses on the design, layout and decoration of the house and how it changes through time. I tell these stories through the experi- ences of the house’s residents, and in this book you will find some of the research I have drawn on for the programme. For example, in series one, I talked about the 1930s kitchen cabinet (see chapter 4, on Efficiency). In this book, you will meet four families who were the first occupants of newly built, modest interwar houses. I chose these as typical examples of interwar homeowners, with particular attention paid to their social mobility and aspirations, and also women’s experiences. In chapter one, I introduce working- class, first- time homeowners Vernon and Cecilia Collett and their sons Basil and Roy. In 1934, the Colletts purchased a small semi- detached house with a parlour, kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, a box room and a downstairs bathroom in Wolvercote, near Oxford. In chapter two, I tell the story of Ronald Kingham, a linoleum layer, and his wife Miriam, who purchased their house with three bed- rooms, two receptions, a small kitchenette and an upstairs bedroom in Edmonton, Middlesex in 1932.
