What the Tenants Think of Kensal House: Experts' Assumptions versus Inhabitants' Realities in the Modern Home
In keeping with the growing interest in user needs in social housing, this article takes a historical approach to the subject by comparing tenant responses with designers' intentions in an estate of social housing, Kensal House, built in north Kensington, London, in 1937. The survival of a rare and early investigation into the tenants' reception of the estate has allowed such a comparison. The resulting analysis demonstrates not only how people responded to and used housing in the middle decades of this century but how and why experts operate as they do.
