Abstract

This is the second of two papers to report on an analysis of housing form, drawing on a computerised database of a sample of British house plans. The principal topological characteristics of the plans (access, adjacency) are summarised and discussed, and a taxonomy of plan forms is presented, founded on the analysis conducted in this and in the previous paper. The success and failure of certain plan forms with respect to user requirements arc also discussed.
