- Conducted between 2008 and 2014 and supported by the AHRC, Fiona Fisher’s research for Designing the Post-War Home drew on diverse materials (film and photography, oral history, architectural plans and drawings, journalism, commercial and specialist literature) and was conducted in 11 British and Canadian archives. Fisher conducted interviews and site visits with 13 former clients and colleagues, including architects and structural engineers, catalogued over 500 items from Wood’s practice records, and reviewed 10 principal architectural and trade journals and popular magazines. Secondary literature spanned architectural and interior design history, material culture, town planning, heritage and conservation, social and cultural history.
