All of these things has shaped and helped form our society and social interactions. Houses in the 1900’s were very small, compact spaced structures.

Architecture has always been an integral part of society and its culture. It not only defines the space of the community that it participates in but it also shapes the community’s place in history. During the 19th century, Gothic Revival became a rapidly growing architectural movement. The Gothic Revival styles sought to revive medieval Gothic architecture, in contrast to the neoclassical styles prevalent at the time. A new group of architects began popularizing picturesque styles and started taking inspiration from nature. A style was built more honestly using natures own colors and materials, blending the architecture harmoniously into its surrounding. The Lyndhurst Mansion designed in 1838 by Alexander Jackson Davis (1803-1892) and The Rose Hill Plantation House built in 1860 by Edward Brickell White (1806-1882) are two examples that embody the picturesque Gothic Revival.

"Gradation also have became a key component of discussions about accountability in higher education," said Bryan Cook and Terry Hartle. Students striving towards higher education opportunities is the goal. However, our graduation rates where they're suppose to be? According to CCPS Department of Communication, in 2012, the county, state, and nation's graduation percentage was 53.63%, 72.5%, and 81%. Even though the graduation quota at state and national level are distinctly larger than Clayton County's, increasing the students' interest in their learning environment and creating tutoring halls will certainly aid in the progression to elevate graduation rate.

The history of American housing is vast and in some areas complex, the Native Americans lived in harmony with the land and saw it as an extension of themselves and used it to their advantage when building shelter. Early settlers in the plains had to become resourceful in how they constructed their shelters. The industrial revolution gave raise to better, faster and more consistent materials.

In my last post I discussed my visit to New Bern to select and photograph homes. The next part of my research process was to select houses that I would analyze in Williamsburg. Initially I thought I would be able to compare homes of very similar ages but this turned out not to be the case. Although I had selected the oldest homes in New Bern, most were still built significantly later than those of Williamsburg. The homes in New Bern were built in the latter part of the 18th century, while many homes in Williamsburg were built in the early or mid 18th century. Additionally, the New Bern homes were all grand in size, most having two or more stories. In contrast, the majority of homes I researched in Colonial Williamsburg were more modest in size.

Have you ever seen a house the size of an entire city block? Rome’s and America’s housing are fairly similar in many ways, but also different in many ways.

As Australian architects were often inspired by international designs many houses were decorative thus there was the emergence of the Californian Bungalow within the 1920s. This housing structure began during the “early nineteen-twenties which became a leading fashion” (Boyd, 1962, p.70). Due to the fact that Australian designs were not as independent as it is today the Californian Bungalow was mainly influenced from the American Californian Bungalows. The bungalows in Australia was an approved style for a suburban house as a result of its simplistic building methods such as staining timbers, creating a pale plaster surface and applying decorative textures on plywood (Cuffley, 2007). Hence, the bungalows was a start of a new way of living for

We can notice clearly in this house how Sullivan’s teaching and Japanese prints influenced Wright’s design. In general for the Prairie houses, Frank Lloyd Wright used all of those influences to had a radically different idea of the function and appearance of residences. The use of horizontal lines is crucial in this design because they define how the volumes and other elements of the house are displayed, making it look longer and lower than other type of dwellings. Sullivan’s idea about the importance of a building’s interior can be seen in this house design because Wright actually took that and extended the interior outside the house. Moreover, Wright started experimenting with materials that allowed him to materialize his

During the middle ages, peasants lived in wooden huts since they did not have enough money to afford bigger houses made of stone or bricks. They didn’t have windows, in their place there added wooden shutters. Floors were usually covered in straw or just soil.

     The Traditional Chinese houses have many differences in comparison with the North American houses. The building materials used in construction is the most distinct difference from North American’s. A typical Chinese farmhouse is built of sun-dried bricks or pounded earth, because wood is too expensive and scarce to use. On the other hand, many typical Northern American houses are built of wood.
