British Columbia Houses : Guide to the Styles of Domestic Architecture in British Columbia

1981

THE HEARTH OF THE ENGLISH COTTAGE, THE COURTYARD OF THE VILLA, THE FRENCH WINDOW, THE PAINTED CLAPBOARD OF NEW ENGLAND, HAVE BECOME LIKE WORDS IN A LANGUAGE - SYMBOLS OF PAST ATTITUDES AND WAYS OF LIFE THAT STAND FOR COMFORT OR GRACE OR SECURITY. [...] The evaluation of housing as a process occurring within an ecological system illuminates the interrelatedness between the individual or family unit, the natural or man- made environment, the social organization, and the level of technology available at any point in time." (Stewart, 1979, p. 493) Some architects would have us cease using the styles of the past. [...] To what extend do you agree or disagree with the following statement?: "If we can realize that all the styles of the past were direct solutions to the problems and needs of the past, we will realize that the styles of today must come from solving our own problems and fulfilling our own needs rather than by mimicking the past." (Gottlieb, 1965, p.21) 14 Can you find some examples of the following? [...] The first houses of this style were built on the East Coast of North America in the 1700's. [...] The style became popular in the suburbs of the 1930's as a variation of the basic stucco bungalow.
