Beyond the Plan by Stephen Willats
The book deals with the characteristics of large housing schemes as well as turn-of-the-century houses - in fact a complete range of average housing stock - and examines the alterations people make to reflect their identity. Willats examines people's responses to the architect's design of their homes and the way they alter them to make them their own, he considers how people personalise housing which is often exactly the same as the space next door and therefore in need of individualisation.
Since the late 1950s, STEPHEN WILLATS has been producing pioneering artworks that take the role of the artist into the community. His work has been exhibited in many major galleries throughout the world including the Tate Gallery in his home city of London, the National Gallerie in Berlin and the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. In 1990 he convened the international symposium 'Art Creating Society' at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford. He continues to edit Control magazine, which he founded in 1965 as a forum for artists to articulate their vision of the future of art in society.
