HPH101 : 5 Common Traits of Self-Builders - with Michaela Benson from Goldsmiths

Michaela Benson is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of
Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. She has spent
the last three years working on a research project called
'Self-Building - The Production and Consumption of New Homes From
the Perspective of Households'. She wanted to understand the
diversity of the houses people build, their motivations
for doing it and their experiences of the process. Her
interviews with twenty individual self-builders and five group
projects during that time have led her to notice characteristics
that these people share.
