The American Home
The American Home
American residences are significant artifacts, shaping and reflecting the lives of their occupants. In this course we will explore the history and design of the American home, looking at environments as varied as apartment buildings, tract houses, bungalows, and row houses. We will consider the style, typology, and cultural significance of American homes, as well as the social, cultural, and economic factors that influenced them. We will pay particular attention to the way that gender, race, and class shaped the design and experience of residential space.
