Abstract: The article looks at the architectural trend started by the Arts and Crafts movement in the middle of the 19th century where the buildings design openly react to context through additive compositions that are irregular and cumulative facades. Examples of recent buildings that comply with this style are David Chipperfield's social housing plan in Madrid, Spain, and Eric Parry's design for Scottish Windows in London, England.
