Karin Templin, author of a new landmark survey At Home in London: The Mansion Block, discusses the typology's evolution and relevance in shaping the city today.
Focused on the evolution of the London mansion block from the 1850s to the present day, the book offers a detailed encounter with the type and its role in defining the contemporary city.
Commissioned by The Architecture Foundation and co-published with MACK, this is the first in a series on types of London housing, reflecting on the place of the home in the city in the light of its longstanding housing crisis.
