Abstract
PAPERS read at two of the series of twelve meetings of the Royal Society of Arts recently devoted to “The Post-War Home: Its Interior and Exterior”, have now been published (J. Roy. Soc. Arts, June 26). R. Fitzmaurice, principal scientific officer at the Building Research Station of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, gave a lecture on the lighting, heating and ventilation of the ordinary house. Many facts of topical interest relating to domestic use of fuel and power were included. Nonfunctional design of working kitchens leads to needless waste of lighting. Plans are reproduced of the distribution of daylight in ill- and in well-designed kitchens using the same ground-plan with redistribution of the same areas of glass in the walls.
