Chalet Fields of the Gower, Hardback Book

Chalet Fields of the Gower Hardback

Description

70 colour photographs of houses on two of the Chalet Fields of the Gower peninsular in South Wales. These show a form of self-provision of working-class housing which begins with a simple timber-framed dwelling. Over the last 60 years most of these simple, cheap houses have evolved into desirable residences. In the process they have a acquired an idiosyncratic style that gives them considerable charm. Looking beyond this aesthetic appeal they provide evidence of a method that could again be used to allow people to make and acquire their own homes.

Photographed with a Sigma DP2 camera with Foveon sensor.

An interview with local architect Owen Short gives an insight into how these communities negotiated changes in the legal planning environment.
