Abstract
This paper reflects on the experience of working with large modern housing projects from a practitioner's viewpoint, and explores both the technical and cultural issues involved. A review of two case studies reveals the ways in which problems of performance and pressures for change can be addressed through design intervention and systems of governance. The paper concludes with an appeal to revalue the legacy of modern housing and identify the potential for creative conservation in the widest sense that this legacy offers.
