Abstract

The architectural history of factories is not yet a popular field of research. Nor, in design history terms, is there investigation into how efficiently their design is related to functions or how it affects the well-being of the occupants. Such investigations must cross the boundaries of, and interrelate the fields of architectural, social, political and economic research. An integrated methodology has yet to be achieved. This article describes how a section of the Dunlop Archive Project is finding its way in this field.
