This book presents an architectural overview of Dublin's
mass-housing building boom from the 1930s to the 1970s. During this
period, Dublin Corporation built tens of thousands of two-storey
houses, developing whole communities from virgin sites and green
fields at the city's edge, while tentatively building four-storey
flat blocks in the city centre. Author Ellen Rowley examines how
and why this endeavour occurred. Asking questions around
architectural and urban obsolescence, she draws on national
political and social histories, as well as looking at international
architectural histories and the influence of post-war
reconstruction programmes in Britain or the symbolisation of the
modern dwelling within the formation of the modern nation.
Critically, the book tackles this housing history as an
architectural and design narrative. It explores the role of the
architectural community in this frenzied provision of housing for
the populace. Richly illustrated with architectural drawings and
photographs from contemporary journals and the private archives of
Dublin-based architectural practices, this book will appeal to
academics and researchers interested in the conditions surrounding
Dublin's housing history.
