PRP is one of the most successful housing practices in the world.
Peter Phippen, Peter Randall and David Parkes founded the practice
in 1963, and since then have moved forward from their Modernist
beginnings, evidenced in the post-Second World War housing boom to
the diverse concerns of the twenty-first century - creating hospice
care and sheltered housing for the elderly and infirm, as well as
accommodating the need for sustainable, low-energy, zero-carbon
developments. "Place & Home: The Search for Better Housing"
comprises essays by Phippen, Randall and Parkes, Barry Munday and
Chris Rudolph on PRP's past and current work, as well as texts by
commissioned writers on the topics of 'place', 'building
technology' and 'home' in architecture. These are interspersed with
illustrated case studies of PRP's work with housing associations,
local authorities and private developers, in diverse locations
including Moscow, La Grande Motte, Milton Keynes, Manchester, and
Brixton - the latter of which Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London,
considers "sets the standard for what we should be achieving in
every social housing development in London".
