In the years of reconstruction and economic boom that followed the Second World War, the domestic sphere encountered new expectations regarding social behaviour, modes of living, and forms of dwelling. This book brings together an international group of scholars from architecture, design, urban planning, and interior design and reappraises mid-twentieth century modern life, offering a timely reassessment of culture and the economic and political effects on civilian life.
