Yes, I'm aware of what 'open plan' means. It might not be a brand new concept, but it is a *lot* more prevalent than it was fifty years ago. And even if there are no doors, the way the room are laid out helps keep fire and smoke (the bigger issue, most often) contained.

My house was built in 1935; there's no door between the kitchen and living room, but the way the walls are angled, and the way the bedrooms are off a hallway, means that smoke from a fire would be more contained and less likely to entire engulf the structure. Even less likely if the bedroom doors are shut.

Open-floor and all the synthetics we use now are some of the biggest issues facing firefighters and homeowners regarding safety. That and non-working or totally absent smoke detectors and a concerted effort on contractor's parts to keep sprinkler systems from being required.
