1930s Flat Housing History

The bungalow style was a major influence in the drastic change of American society and how people lived. It influenced a major shift in gender role of women in society, creating easier housekeeping techniques and greater employment and career opportunities for women by confronting economic and social issues in society using domestic architecture. The simpler home design expressed many tensions of Progressivism in attempting to solve social issues of the time. The transformation brought about new ideas as well as fears that had to be confronted.

Architecture in the 1950s was representative of the conformity caused by the Cold War. McCarthyism and the Red Scare were some of the major sources of this conformity. McCarthyism was the persecution of innocent people assumed to be communist and the forced conformity that the practice aroused in American public life. As the government grew more and more concerned with the development of communism in the United States, the country became extremely against communism and with the help of John McCarthy, the government set out on a mission to find all the communists hiding in the depths of America; many people were questioned and hundreds were either killed or exiled, even those that were wrongly convicted. With the threat of being removed from

From 1801 to 1851, the population of London grew from under 1 million inhabitants to 2.25 million. This was due in large part to immigration, both from other countries and from the countryside of England. Hundreds of thousands of people were moving to the newly industrialized cities and towns to find work, having been squeezed off the land because of the enclosure of farms. There was also displacement of the working-class within the city of London because of a number of construction projects. There were street improvement schemes in which tenements were razed in order to widen the passages. The transformation of part of the city into a non-residential district devoted to finance

The 1930's was a hard time for blacks. Blacks were hit harder hit than whites in the Great Depression. During the 1930s almost half of black Americans were out of work. Blacks really did not have a lot of rights, they could not vote, they could not sit in the same parts of restaurants or buses as white people. Blacks even had separate drinking fountains and bathrooms. Blacks had to use the back door of many building and not allowed to enter from the front. The civil rights movement of the 1930s changed a lot of things for blacks. The civil rights movement stopped most of the segregation in the south and gave blacks more rights.

The working conditions were terrible they worked for hours with little to no rest under the hot sun. The food they received was also horrible and most workers were treated horrible and talk to disrespectful. “If you ask any questions to have them explain to you, they get very mad” (Lecture 15) Most of the workers were paid by checks at the camp. Sometimes the check would be less that what they had worked for but due to the English barrier nothing could be done but if the workers tried to speak about the problem than the men giving the money would get mad a sigh of the discrimination being done since most did not know English and did not know how to communicate leaving them with low minimum wage.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s affordable housing initiatives of the 1930s were responsible for the rapid expansion of home ownership and economic stability throughout the United States following The Great Depression of 1929 (Allen and Barth, 2012). Leading economists have viewed affordable housing as one of the key components of a healthy economy ever since. (Bluhm, Overbeck and Wagner, 2010). The Federal National Mortgage Association conceived during the time of his administration, provided an abundant amount of affordable housing through low down payment mortgages extended over a 30-Year period. In 1940 the median price of a single family home in the U.S. was approximately two times an average borrower’s median income. The Housing Cost

In 1950, there was a very large space left for building houses in the left side of the school, and there was farmland in the lower place of the houses. In addition, the playground was in the lower place of the school. However, as time goes on, the society developed a lot, so in 1980, the previous house land was changed into the car park and science block. The school also changed the farmland into the sports field. In 2010, the campus changed a lot because the development of technology and the improvement of people’s life. More and more people were able to afford the prices of cars, so the amount of cars increased obviously and the land of car park expanded. Because of the expansion of the car park, the sports field reduced. From

For all mankind, the most central basic need of all is housing. Like most items, housing comes with a price tag attached, high standards equate to high costs too. This leads down to two fundamental issues of quality and access. Usually quality includes some significant downfalls for others, that is the associated cost and this limit access as fewer will be able to gain access to good quality housing. Numerous households will lack adequate income to gain access to good quality housing (King, 2009). This is where the government has stepped in to provide subsidies to bridge that gap, guaranteeing that all citizens have equal opportunity to gain access to good quality housing. The 1919 Housing Act commonly known as the “Addison Act” kick started the government subsidies to help finance the construction of housing provisions soon after the First World War, with further similar Acts which followed (UK Parliament, 2015). On the other hand, not merely government subsidies help to build, maintain and improve, or cover the household costs. There are other different sources, such as private finance from financial institutes or mortgage lenders as well as earned income commonly utilized as well (King, 2009). However, this does not mean if something is as vital as housing it’s generally accessible. The shortage of

I, like many other home owners worry about who to call when I have a repair or remodeling project around my home. Most people just use the phone book or internet to find a contractor, but, that's like flipping a coin. You're not going to get the best result from doing that. I have an older home, built in the 70's, which until now didn't need a lot of repair. Now I find that, all at once, my home is in need of many repairs. From plumbing, electrical and now concrete.

As a concept 1920s and 1930s Art Deco architecture was particularly hard to define. It can be referred to as a decorative style that was new and innovative, as well as one that drew heavily on influences of the past. A closer look shows a bit of everything, Art Deco was able to take almost every movement, compress and reimagine them into a unity of their individual traits. The one thing that persists in all Art Deco architecture was its ability to usher in an era of new materials that were developed specifically for the decorative arts, interior decoration, and exterior building construction. Materials such as concrete, steel framing, terra cotta, flexwood, wood veneers, metal-steel framing, plate glass, and glass blocks proved to be exceedingly versatile within this style. While new materials such as stainless steel and

For hundreds of years, these Pueblo descendants continued to live a similar lifestyle, continuing to survive by hunting and farming, and also building "new” apartment-like structures, sometimes several stories high. These structures were made cut sandstone faced with adobe -- a combination of earth mixed with straw and water; or the adobe was poured into forms or made into sun-dried bricks to build walls that are often several feet thick. The buildings had flat roofs, which served as working or resting places, as well as observation points to watch for approaching enemies and view ceremonial occasions. For better defense, the outer walls generally had no doors or windows, but instead, window openings in the roofs, with ladders leading into

In 1954 it became Christian Dior’s first boutique where Dior stored his collections in London.
