Consider that a mere 100 years ago most Americans didn't own their homes, didn't drive vehicles, hadn't yet made the move to the suburbs. Freeways didn't exist. Nor did malls. In this seminar, we will examine the spaces and styles of the single-family house as well as the lawns, cul-de-sacs and walls that separate it from the wider world. We will look into the infrastructure that makes suburban living possible - from the road network to the big box store. Students will read histories and novels, view films, and undertake projects about emerging suburban phenomena in Northern California.
