The history of house plans shows a progression from master builders and architects offering unique and charming designs to a mass production of cookie-cutter houses post-World War II. The proliferation of printed material, industrialization, and demand for affordable housing led to a shift towards cheap and fast construction, resulting in a lack of architectural style and beauty in modern houses. Homeowners and builders have become desensitized to bad design, leading to a cycle of uninspired and unattractive homes. To bring back charm and quality in housing, we need to understand and appreciate the past design elements and strive for better quality and uniqueness in today's home construction. The key is to prioritize good design and craftsmanship over mass production and cost-cutting measures.
